Fantastic program - brilliant guest -- important topic. Wished you talked longer on topic and dyslexia.
Splendid segment. Of course you end it on a great cliffhanger making us wonder if Prof. Wolf is making the same mistake as Socrates. Namely, is she able to recognize the potential advantages of the "digital brain," if you will.
I have a 100 year old gramma who spent many decades studying the brain. Can i get an audio copy of this show for her? She would love it!
