Mimi and The Brain

Ever wonder what's going down in your noggin' when you get lost in a 12-hour cake-decorating binge? What about that time you spent an entire Sunday building a table in the garage out of stuff you found in the alleyway? Have you been finger painting the walls of your apartment again? Sounds like you've got some creative flow going on! Neuroscientist and professor Dr. Heather Berlin takes us on a special tour into our inner creativity in this episode! Together we'll debunk a few "tortured artist" myths and get to the bottom of what it really takes to access your inner creativity. 

Ah, the familiar moment of walking into a room and forgetting why you went in there in the first place! Don't we know it well! And what do we know, by the way? Can our memories be trusted? How long do we have before our brains slip into delirium? Mimi sits with neuroscientist and resident badass Brit Dr. Paula Croxson to discuss Alzheimer's Disease, Hollywood myths around memory, and whether or a baby will remember us a week from now. You can check out Paula's storytelling and amazingness here and at The Story Collider, live in New York City every month. 

Mimi kicks off her antics again at another LIVE podcast recording with M&TB Alum Dr. Paula Croxson! Recorded at the Much Different Showcase in Brooklyn, New York with a special audience Q&A with today's top science storyteller and neuroscientist. Check out Much Different here to learn more.
