About this podcast

In this insightful episode of the Huberman Lab podcast, Dr. Andrew Huberman welcomes Dr. Jennifer Groh, a distinguished Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University. Dr. Groh delves into the intricate mechanisms of how our brain encodes and integrates sensory information – sights and sounds – to enable our perception and navigation of the world. The discussion explores the fundamental nature of thoughts, revealing how what we focus on not only shapes our immediate cognition but also influences future thought patterns. Listeners will gain valuable insights into enhancing focus, improving happiness, and mastering task management and switching. Dr. Groh also unpacks strategies for rewiring the neural circuits that underpin our default thinking and attention patterns, offering a unique perspective on becoming a better, smarter thinker.
