Neuroscientist researching brain plasticity and human perception
Bestselling author of Livewired and Incognito
Founder of NeoSensory and host of Inner Cosmos podcast

David Eagleman is a neuroscientist whose research into how the brain processes reality is reshaping our understanding of human potential and sensory experience. He holds an adjunct professorship at Stanford University, hosts the number one science podcast Inner Cosmos, and has authored multiple bestselling books including Livewired and Incognito. His PBS television series, The Brain, brought complex neuroscience to millions of viewers worldwide. David's work goes beyond theory. He co-founded NeoSensory, a company that develops devices allowing deaf people to perceive sound through vibrations on their skin. This practical application of brain plasticity research demonstrates his core argument: the brain is not fixed but constantly rewiring itself, and we can harness that process deliberately. His insights help leaders, educators, and innovators understand how to work with their biology rather than against it. Audiences leave David's sessions with a clearer picture of how their brains adapt to new information, practical strategies for leveraging neuroplasticity in decision-making and creativity, and a grounded understanding of how emerging technology will interact with human cognition in the coming decades. Book David Eagleman to give your audience the neuroscience behind better thinking, delivered by someone actively building the future.
