"Struggling through something is a way to learn. This is how you have plastic (plasticité) connections emerging. It's how you're reinforcing the link between what you learn and the activity you're doing. It's through posing on a problem and pondering about it and then emerging to a solution." -Ervan Achirou

This is the fifth episode of the AWC's podcast, featuring neuroscience PhD researcher Ervan Achirou and AWC staff, Michelle Awad. Ervan studies how the brain integrates sensory information to help us navigate our environment at the Institute of Neuroscience of Paris-Saclay. Topics discussed include brain-computer interfaces, building accessible games for hospitalized patients, the ethics of AI in research and education, and what it means to learn through struggle in an age of increasing automation.

A transcript to this episode is coming soon.
