Meet Dr. Andrew Huberman. He is a world renowned Stanford neuroscience professor and director of  at Stanford. Accomplishments made all the more impressive in that he's barely over 40 years old. Scientific American has covered his breakthroughs towards , Rolling Stone has interviewed him to better understand the  Discover recently covered  leading the research to determine how it's even possible to do Wim can do. He has made numerous breakthrough contributions to the fields of brain development, brain plasticity, and neural regeneration and repair, and has been awarded numerous distinctions in his field including the McKnight Foundation Neuroscience Scholar Award as well as the 2017 ARVO Cogan Award for contributions to the field of vision science, in an effort to cure blindness. In 2017, the Huberman Lab created a state-of-the-art virtual reality platform for probing the neural mechanisms underlying pathologic fear and anxiety. That work involved collecting 360-degree video fear inducing scenarios such as heights and claustrophobia. The Huberman VR platform aims to help people cope with stress in daily life and in patients suffering from PTSD. A s mentioned, he has also worked with legendary “Iceman” Wim Hoff to provide further insight into the physiological basis for his record setting feats in cold exposure. Dr.Huberman is also a science and medical advisor for , makers of cutting edge nootropic formulations for increasing cognitive and emotional capacity.
