Ep58 "What do brains teach us about whether AI is creative?"
From a neuroscience point of view, what is creativity?

And what does any of this have to do with how cell phones got their names, and why koala bears don’t write novels? Join Eagleman and his guest, composer Anthony Brandt, as they uncover the surprises about creativity.
