In this October 2022 episode of Huberman Lab, Dr. Andrew Huberman is joined by Dr. Eddie Chang. They discuss how the brain learns and uses languages and Chang's pioneering work in neural engineering.

Speech and language are the foundations of human communication. But we still have much to learn about the scientific processes that go into their acquisition and implementation.

Huberman Lab is a podcast hosted by Dr. Andrew Huberman, a renowned professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology.

Huberman invites a guest each week to discuss a neuroscience-related topic. In this episode from October 2022, Huberman is joined by Dr. Eddie Chang, a professor of neurological surgery.

Huberman and Chang discuss how our environment in early life affects language acquisition, the science of applying language as speech, and conditions that can impair communication.

Chang also talks about his cutting-edge neural engineering technology, which is enabling paralyzed patients to speak again.
