Episode suggestion: The neuroscience of associations
"Association" often comes up as a possible reason in different psychological topics. Examples - Keeping the association between bed and sleep/sex in sleep hygiene and insomnia treatment - Keeping the proper separation of work and non-work-related environments based on association - Entrainging new habits by associating cues to specific behaviors - Operant conditioning Would be interesting to learn about the biological mechanisms of how associations work (e.g. on the level of neurological and hormonal systems) and whether there are protocols we can use.
Episode suggestion: The methodology of self-assessment and experimentation
We have many tools in our health and self-development journey (greatly thanks to the information we learn on your podcast :). It is not obvious, however, how we should assess the value and priority of these on our specific life situation. Would be useful to learn about the methodologies, techniques and tools of self-improvement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N_of_1_trial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-experimentation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-subject_research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-subject_design
Episode suggestion: The neuroscience of truth-telling + protocols
Would be great to have a dedicated episode about the neuroscience of truth-telling. In some of your podcasts about journaling and with Anna Lebmke you talk shortly about the benefits of telling the truth, but it feels like there is more to the story.
Guest suggestion: David Spindler on the neuroscience of high performance
Just listened to this interview with David Spindler over the Rich Roll podcast about the neuroscience of high-performing athletes. It was great but I felt they could have dived deeper into the research and protocols. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xAKKi-yLGw Your podcast would be a great place to do that!
Copper and Anxiety
Hi Dr. Huberman, I’ve recently been seeing a rise in discussion about copper and its relationship to anxiety. Is there a relationship? My 18-year-old daughter has been struggling with anxiety for a number of years and although meds help, I’m looking for something to supplement. Not sure that I trust the copper recommendations… Thank you!
