Huberman's insights are pure gold. People underestimate how much our bodies influence our brains. Tune your senses = sharpen your mind.

Speaking on binaural frequency helping the brain, I love the energy received from certain old school death metal guitar track layouts. The classic method for best sound is to record same parts on multiple tracks to layer it up but the important thing is that they record one to right channel, record another to left channel, and one for center with a slightly altered sound. This fills out the space amazingly and I feel like I could walk through brick walls after listening to stuff like say Entombed Left Hand Path

Dr. Huberman, thank you for your incredible content! For a future content, could you please do a deep dive on NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest)? It would be amazing to learn more about its mechanisms, benefits, and how to practice it effectively. Looking forward to it.

Answer 6

Hi! I’m a vestibular PT and love your podcast. I think your description of how the semicircular canals work is describing BPPV, not normal functioning. The otoconia (marbles) shouldn’t be in the semicircular canals, but in the utricle. When they enter the semicircular canals, they displace the hair cells which causes a sudden spinning sensation, or vertigo, which is called BPPV.

Answer 13

I’ve started listening so soft binaural theta sounds and very low brown noise while sleeping. My 18 month daughter sleeps in the same room. I hope this is ok. I read that theta encourages good REM sleep. She has never had problems sleeping thankfully

Answer 14

Would love to hear your opinion on ear loop/plugs

Answer 15

I'm wondering what are some dynamic movements or exercises I could do in my home, not getting on a bike or rollercoaster. Thanks for the informative content!

Answer 16

Andrew…As always you lead the horses to water…Thank you for the drink .️

Answer 17

Another fastball down the middle

Answer 18

I’m curious how this affects people like myself with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. I get vertigo due to my hearing loss and despite daily yoga and balancing exercises I still struggle with balance. if there is any advice you could give I would love to hear from you.

Occupational therapists use the Astronaut Training protocol. It can be adapted for seniors with orthopedic and cardiovascular issues. You learn the protocol and do a home program, making it very applicable to your needs. But you will likely have to find a pediatric therapist that is willing to work with you privately. Insurance rarely covers this treatment.
