"David Eagleman may be the best combination of scientist and fiction-writer alive."

- Stewart Brand

 

"Eagleman has a talent for testing the untestable, for taking seemingly sophomoric notions and using them to nail down the slippery stuff of consciousness."

- The New Yorker

 

"What Eagleman seems to be calling for is a new Enlightenment."

- Sunday Herald 

 

"David Eagleman offers startling lessons.... His method in both Sum and his new book, Incognito, is to ask us to cast off our lazy, commonplace assumptions."

- The Guardian

 

"[A] neuroscientist and polymath."

- Wall Street Journal

 

"David Eagleman is the kind of guy who really does make being a neuroscientist look like fun"

- New York Times

 

"A popularizer of impressive gusto...[Eagleman] aims, grandly, to do for the study of the mind what Copernicus did for the study of the stars."

- New York Observer

A third position, agnosticism, is often an uninteresting stance in which a person simply questions whether his traditional religious story is true or not true. I call myself a possibilian. Find out why.

    Your brain constantly re-calibrates its timing.

    Hear my friend Alan Burdick discuss his new book on time perception...

  • Is Time Real?
    Is Time Real?

    What does it mean for time to be real? Is time the ultimate stage on which all events play?

  • The Science of Waiting
    The Science of Waiting

    For many years I've been studying how human brains perceive the passage of time.
