00:50 Brief Intro of Dr. Ginger Campbell and the Brain Science Podcast.

2:30 How Ginger got to where she is today.

4:05 The most common misconception about the brain

5:35 What piece of knowledge about the brain would have the greatest impact if people knew about it?

7:00 What is the difference between the subconscious and the unconscious?

10:05 How come we can identify threats on an unconscious level?

13:05 How come we as humans have evolved to need a lot of sleep at the same time as our survival rate as as species must improve if we manage to be alert even at night?

14:05 Since we aren’t conscious of what determines a lot of our actions, could you say we have a free will?

17:15 Which field of study would be better to start with for a beginner who wants to learn how the brain works?

21:40 The fact that we are often certain of things even when we are wrong… How can we get closer to the truth when we’re sure we’re already right?

25:45 When two people with opposing perceptions of what’s true are very certain they're right, how can they overcome that obstacle and move ahead?

29:05 How can we learn new skills more efficiently?

30:30 Why everyone should know the basics of neuroscience.

31:25 What would be your recommendation for young people just getting into the study of the brain?

33:50 Broaden your horizons and acquire knowledge across different fields.
