Citizen Brain
Written by Josh Kornbluth
In collaboration with Casey Stangl and Aaron Loeb
Description
At the Global Brain Health Institute, Josh Kornbluth immersed himself in the study of brain disease and wondered if our society was suffering from political dementia. The discovery of the “empathy circuit” in the brain might be the cure. Can a neurotic storyteller, who flunked every science class, spark a science-based revolution of empathy?
This recording of Citizen Brain is from the performance on Sunday, November 8.
Run time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
