Brain Science Podcast

Brain Science Podcast #46 was recorded live at Dragon*Con 2008, which was held in Atlanta, Georgia over Labor Day Weekend. My guests were Dr. Shella Keilholz and Dr. Jason Schneiderman and we talked about fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging). We discussed both the advantages and disadvantages of this technique with an emphasis on how to recognize media hype. There were also some great questions from the audience.

This podcast has been edited compared to the version that appeared in the DragonPod feed, but there is still some noise coming from the room next door.

Episode 45 of the Brain Science Podcast is an interview with Dr. John Ratey from Harvard about Attention Deficit Disorders. Dr. Ratey is an expert on the treatment of both childhood and adult ADD and ADHD and co-author of Driven To Distraction : Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood.

In this interview Dr. Ratey not only dispells some of the common myths about this disorder, but he also offers practical advice about overcoming the challenges of this common problem.
