How to Improve at Learning Using Neuroscience & AI | Dr. Terry Sejnowski

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Terry Sejnowski, Ph.D., professor
of computational neurobiology at the Salk Institute for Biological
Studies. He is world-renowned for exploring how our brain processes
and stores information and, with that understanding, for developing
tools that enable us to markedly improve our ability to learn all
types of information and skills. We discuss how to learn most
effectively in order to truly master a subject or skill. Dr.
Sejnowski explains how to use AI tools to forage for new
information, generate ideas, predict the future, and assist in
analyzing health data and making health-related decisions. We also
explore non-AI strategies to enhance learning and creativity,
including how specific types of exercise can improve mitochondrial
function and cognitive performance. Listeners will gain insights
into how computational methods and AI are transforming our
understanding of brain function, learning, and memory, as well as
the emerging roles of these tools in addressing personal health and
treating brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Access
