This Is Your Brain With Dr. Phil Stieg

• The Power Of Touch

  Touch is the first sense we develop, and one of the most powerful tools we have for connection, healing, and communication. In this episode,  social neuroscientist Dr. Michael Banissy explains how everyday gestures like hugs, handshakes, and high-fives influence our health and emotional well-being. From the biological complexity of our touch receptors to surprising studies on immune response, stress, and sleep, Dr. Banissy reveals why touch matters more than we think, and what happens when we don't get enough of it.  Plus - the dangers of a pain-free life.   For more information, transcripts, and all episodes, please visit https://thisisyourbrain.com   For more about Weill Cornell Medicine Neurological Surgery, please visit https://neurosurgery.weillcornell.org

• Coming Next Friday: "The Power of Touch"

   "Reach out and touch someone" isn't just a slogan from a long distance phone ad. It's also a powerful statement about human connection. Dr. Michael Banissy, a professor of social neuroscience at the University of Bristol, explores how we understand and respond to others through touch, empathy, and emotional communication.  He explains how hugs can actually support our emotional and physical health.   For more information, transcripts, and all episodes, please visit https://thisisyourbrain.com    For more about Weill Cornell Medicine Neurological Surgery, please visit https://neurosurgery.weillcornell.org

• Can Big Tech Read My Mind?

  Whether it's our shopping habits, Google searches, or Facebook friends, we are all aware that our personal information is being collected and often sold online.  But what about our thoughts, what's going on in our minds?     With all the advances in consumer Neurotechnology and AI, stealing data from our brains is no longer science fiction and at least for now, it can collected and used without our consent.    Can anything be done to stop this intrusion into our most personal information? Dr. Sean Pauzauski, Medical Director at the Neurorights Foundation, discusses how companies collect our brain data, and whether or not your mind has any right to privacy. Plus - The art of "Mentalists" who make you believe they can read your mind!  For more information, transcripts, and all episodes, please visit https://thisisyourbrain.com   For more about Weill Cornell Medicine Neurological Surgery, please visit https://neurosurgery.weillcornell.org

• Coming Next Friday: "Can Big Tech Read My Mind?"

  Our personal data is online and it's for sale. But what about the information from our brains, in our thoughts?  With the exponential increase in neurotechnology devices for use by the general public, the private data in our minds is also being collected -- and might be used without our permission! Dr. Sean Pausowski, the Medical Director at the Neurorights Foundation, is working to protect our brains' rights to privacy, finding ways to safeguard our thoughts, emotions, even our subconscious before it's too late.

• The Neuroscience of Your Workout

  Why do you exercise?  It might be to lose weight, maintain or improve your health, reduce stress, or perhaps a combination of all of these.  But what is actually motivating you is simpler than that.  As Dr. Gary Wenk reveals in his book "Your Brian on Exercise",  you exercise because your brain needs you to move, and it will do everything it can to motivate you to do it. He provides fascinating insights into exactly what is happening to our brains when we go jogging, lift weights, swim laps, or take a walk, as well as what happens when we don't.   He'll also answer questions we all have about exercise vs diet to lose weight and perhaps, most importantly, how much exercise is enough.   For more information, transcripts, and all episodes, please visit https://thisisyourbrain.com   For more about Weill Cornell Medicine Neurological Surgery, please visit https://neurosurgery.weillcornell.org
