Biografie & Werdegang des Autors
David Eagleman grew up in New Mexico and came of age at Albuquerque Academy, carrying an early fascination with perception and time that he later linked to a childhood fall from a roof, when a brief event seemed to stretch in his mind. His formal path was not linear. At Rice University he studied British and American literature, spent a junior year at Oxford, and only in his final semester discovered neuroscience, which he later described as his calling. He then earned a PhD in neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine and completed postdoctoral work at the Salk Institute. ((https://www.aa.edu/2024/10/21/what-makes-david-eagleman-89-so-driven/))
