What if riding a motorcycle could rewire your brain—and reveal truths about society, risk, and human instinct?

Neuroscientist and cognitive theorist Mark Changizi joins the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino to explore how brain science, cultural evolution, and motorcycle riding intersect. Blending physics with cognitive science, he unpacks mass hysteria during COVID-19, questions the role of experts, and reveals how our responses are shaped more by culture than clinical data.

But that’s just the beginning. Drawing from his book The Motorcycle Mind, Changizi shifts gears into the immersive experience of riding motorcycles. From the thrill of countersteering and optic flow to the controversial idea that riding without a helmet can actually heighten sensory awareness, he explains why motorcycles are more than machines—they’re psychological tools for clarity, presence, and personal empowerment.
