What if the key to healing the brain wasn’t in a pill or a surgery, but in a headset? By stepping into immersive digital worlds with virtual reality (VR), scientists are discovering new ways to enhance neuroplasticity. But with such power to reshape the mind, VR also raises big questions: how real should “virtual” therapy get, and who can access this kind of therapeutic strategy? Join us as we journey through the science, the promise, and the ethical puzzles of healing in a virtual world.

Memory gives meaning to our lives. It shapes the way we think, feel, act and helps us navigate through our lives. Science fiction in literature and cinema have exploited the idea of memory manipulation with fascinating stories. A neuroscience understanding of memory has great clinical implications. Understanding how emotion is linked to memory may help find ways to treat PTSD. Join us on this episode, where we discuss how memories are formed, its use in media, its impact on society, the neuroscience behind memory and the interesting ways researchers are using our understanding of memory to manipulate it.
