I always find introductions a little awkward, so I'll make this brief. My name is Jonah Lehrer, and I write mostly about the intersection of neuroscience and culture. (I've been blogging for the last few years over here.) I'm interested in how the brain works - it's a really peculiar chunk of electric meat - and how learning about the brain can improve our everyday lives. If you read Wired Magazine, you might have encountered a few of my past articles. (In the current issue, I have a piece on the dangerous feedback loop of stress, and the search for a stress "vaccine".) I've also written for the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, Nature, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe and am a contributor to WNYC's Radiolab. I'm the author of two books - How We Decide and Proust Was A Neuroscientist - and am currently at work on my next book, Imagine, which explores the science of creativity. Needless to say, I'm really excited about joining the wonderful blog network at Wired. If you have any questions for me, please put them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them!
