<a href="https://x.com/hubermanlab">Andrew Huberman</a> is a neuroscientist and professor at Stanford, the host of the Huberman Lab podcast, and the author of Protocols.
Most of our conversation is about where neuroscience goes next. For decades the field has focused on reading from the brain, and Andrew believes the next era is about writing to it with precise control over specific brain states. 
He explains why he thinks the leading AI companies are really building toward this, and why understanding our waking brain states is the problem he most wants to see solved.
Please enjoy my conversation with Andrew Huberman.
