#76: György Buzsáki — Action, the ultimate source of knowledge
Tuesday, 17 March, 2026
In this episode of Stimulating Brains, we are honored to sit down with György Buzsáki, Professor of Neuroscience at New York University and one of the most influential thinkers in modern neuroscience.Dr. Buzsaki trained as a physician in Hungary, completed his PhD in neuroscience at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and went on to postdoctoral training in North America before building a decades-long academic career spanning UC San Diego, Rutgers University, and now NYU.In this conversation, we explore the ideas behind his work on hippocampal oscillations, sharp-wave ripples, and the organization of neural activity across states such as sleep and wakefulness. Dr. Buzsáki reflects on how his early life experiences, technological innovation, and persistent questioning of dominant frameworks shaped a scientific philosophy centered on internal dynamics rather than task-based explanations.Tune in for a rare opportunity to hear one of neuroscience’s most original voices reflect on the past, present, and future of understanding the brain.
