Dr. Pria Anand | The Mind Electric

TALKS AT GOOGLE
About this episode

Dr. Pria Anand joins Google to discuss her book, "The Mind Electric: A Neurologist on the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains." The book demonstrates the compelling paradox at the heart of neurology; that even the most peculiar symptoms can show us something universal about ourselves as humans.

Dr. Anand is a neurologist at the Boston Medical Center and an Assistant Professor at the Boston University School of Medicine. She is a graduate of Yale University and Stanford Medical School, and she trained in neurology, neuro-infectious diseases, and neuroimmunology at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital.
