Eagleman's research encompasses brain plasticity, sensory substitution, time perception, synesthesia, and the intersection of brain science with the legal system.

Uncover the mysteries of your own brain. There are many good ways to do this; one is to join my new course on brain plasticity on Dr Jordan B Peterson’s online Peterson Academy.

Your vast forest of 86 billion neurons rewires itself every moment of your life, from cradle to grave. In this 8-hour course, you’ll learn the overarching principles of brain plasticity: how we learn and remember, how goals and actions shape your circuitry, why it’s harder to teach an old dog new tricks, fresh insights into familiar disorders, how the brain adapts to new body plans and senses, the basis of expertise, and strategies for maintaining brain health.

Join me to uncover the principles that make the brain the most remarkable device ever discovered in our universe.
