In this episode of Coffee with a Neuroscientist, the host explores how audio and voice act as powerful "neurotechnologies" that shape attention, memory, emotion, and behavior. Drawing on history, physics, and neuroscience, she explains why sustained listening creates intimacy, trust, and brain synchronization—and how that can both inspire and manipulate audiences.The episode also examines podcasting’s cultural rise, its role in persuasion and radicalization, and the ethical responsibility of creators and listeners. Practical takeaways: listening is an active skill, audio can amplify influence, and intentional, critical listening is a civic act.
