Scientists canโt dissect living peopleโs brains to study their function. But by examining the behavior of people whose brains are atypical (due to stroke, injury, or being born that way), we can learn a lot about all our brains. In this episode, I travel to London to meet a blind, autistic savant with astonishing musical abilities, and I volunteer to have my own brainโs function temporarily disrupted at UCLAโs Neuromodulation Lab.
