The host shares seven small, immediately usable habits designed to reset your mind, regulate stress, and boost energy without overhauling your entire routine. He explains when to use each habit, how to practice it in under a few minutes, and why it works psychologically and biologically. Throughout, he emphasizes using micro-habits to create emotional regulation, presence, and better decision-making in everyday situations.
Andrew Huberman speaks with neuroscientist David Burson about how the nervous system creates perception, focusing on vision, color processing, circadian regulation, balance, and movement control. They explain how retinal circuits, melanopsin-containing ganglion cells, the vestibular system, cerebellum, midbrain, basal ganglia, and cortex interact to stabilize our view of the world and guide behavior. The conversation concludes with a striking example of cortical plasticity in a blind Braille reader whose visual cortex had been repurposed for touch.
Host Preston Pysh and guest Justin Evidon discuss how modern technology can be a double-edged sword, offering huge benefits while quietly reshaping behavior, privacy, and health. They cover social media recommendation algorithms, data sovereignty, decentralized protocols like Nostr, and emerging privacy-preserving AI tools. The conversation also explores physical impacts of technology such as LED light flicker, blue light, and electromagnetic exposure, along with practical strategies to protect circadian rhythms and use tech more intentionally.
Andrew Huberman explains how different biological timing systems-from yearly and daily rhythms to 90-minute ultradian cycles-shape our perception of time, mood, energy, and performance. He describes how neuromodulators like dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin alter how fast or slow time feels in the moment and how we remember events later. He then connects these mechanisms to trauma, novelty, and habits, showing how deliberate routines and environmental variation can structure our days, influence memory, and support better focus.
