<p>What if you could control your brain’s performance and stress levels with just a few simple hacks?<strong> </strong>In this episode callback, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Andrew Huberman, a renowned neuroscientist from Stanford University, to unlock the secrets of how your brain really works—and how you can train it for enhanced cognitive power and stress resilience. From rewiring your brain’s fear response to mastering your level of alertness, Dr. Huberman reveals groundbreaking discoveries that could change the way you approach your mental and emotional well-being. </p><p>Diving deep into neuroscience, they cover how visual stimuli can modulate stress, the role of autonomic arousal in cognitive performance, and even how brain-machine interfaces may soon push human potential beyond its current limits. You’ll learn why certain visual and sensory techniques can calm or excite your brain, and how to train your brain to handle high-stress situations with ease. Plus, find out how Dr. Huberman is working on curing blindness with VR technology—offering a glimpse into the future of human augmentation. </p><p><strong>Sponsors: </strong> </p><ul><li>Apollo Neuro | Head to <a href="https://apolloneuro.com/DaveAsprey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apolloneuro.com/DaveAsprey</a> to save 15% on an Apollo wearable.</li><li>Timeline | Head to <a href="https://www.timeline.com/dave" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.timeline.com/dave</a> to get 10% off your first order.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources</strong>: </p><ul><li>Dr. Andrew Huberman’s Stanford Profile: <a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/andrew-huberman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://profiles.stanford.edu/andrew-huberman</a> </li><li>Huberman Lab Podcast: <a href="https://hubermanlab.com/podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hubermanlab.com/podcast</a> </li><li>Follow Dr. Andrew Huberman on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab</a> </li><li>Dave’s Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/daveasprey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">linktr.ee/daveasprey</a> </li><li>Dave Asprey’s Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’: <a href="https://daveasprey.com/books" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">daveasprey.com/books</a> </li><li>Want to join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live?
