How Your Thoughts Are Built & How You Can Shape Them | Dr. Jennifer Groh

This podcast recap is from an interview between Andrew Huberman and Dr. Jennifer Gro, discussing her research on neuroscience, psychology, and sensory integration. They explore the theory that thoughts are essentially simulations running on the brain's sensory-motor infrastructure, using the example of recalling a cat. A major focus is multisensory integration, particularly how the auditory and visual systems interact to localize sound and perceive the world, revealing that eye movements can physically affect the eardrum. The discussion also examines how physical environments and cultural phenomena like music shape perception, the challenges of modern attention in the context of digital devices, and the importance of structured focus time for cognitive work.
