Matthias Gruber speaks at a 2015 TEDx salon event at UC Davis.
Matthias Gruber is a cognitive neuroscientist in the Dynamic Memory Lab at the UC Davis Center for Neuroscience. He is investigating why we remember some things better than others. He is especially interested in how curiosity energizes the brain and how we can harness the power of curiosity to benefit learning in daily life. His work on curiosity has been featured in media outlets around the world, including The Washington Post, The Guardian, NPR, Scientific American, and the NIH Director's Blog. Having lived in Northern California for the last few years, Matthias enjoys the down-to-earth and eco-friendly vibe in Davis. When he is not in the lab writing scripts to analyze brain data, you can either see him with his 2-year old son at the playground, skiing in Tahoe, or enjoying a coffee around town.

I don't think learning is difficult. I think the way the American education system is, kept me curious. Idk, really.
