Almost everyone is afraid of something and almost everyone has had a frightening experience.

In today’s show I talk to Yannick Villaneuva who is researching the brain and its role in fears and phobias.

PC you ask, personal computer? No one uses those any more with phones, phablets, tablets, 2 in 1s, and laptop. Well, the pocket computer is all of those and none of those. Its an AI in your pocket and in your ear. Pocket computer is constantly listening and remembering. "Do you remember what we're doing on Friday?" You don't, but PC does and it lets you know instantaneously! Do you need help speaking with someone in another language, PC translates their speech and tells you how to speak back to them! Who needs a brain in your head, when you have one in your pocket, the PC, pocket computer.
