David Eagleman
David Eagleman is a neuroscientist, author, and professor at Stanford University. His published research examines sensory substitution, haptic devices for sensory boosting, time perception, synesthesia, and mechanisms of REM sleep. He has also investigated mobile neurocognitive screening tools for detecting cognitive impairment and concussions, as well as assessing recidivism risk in correctional settings.
