Darren Schreiber [Episode 365]

Dr. Drew welcomes Darren Schreiber, who develops, tests and publishes his unique work regarding political systems. The duo chats about classic paradigms of social science and social science experimentation, as well as their relevance in today’s world. Schreiber uses functional neuro-imaging to study how people think about politics, which serves as a backdrop for their discussion of his theory of “a neurological basis for political partisanship.” These theories are the basis of his book, “Your Brain is Built for Politics.” Schreiber’s ultimate goal is to, “develop a model for the emergence of ideology.”
