Siddharth Ramakrishnan, PhD – The Neuroscience of Magic

Siddharth Ramakrishnan, PhD – The Neuroscience of Magic

Air Date – Wednesday, 12 August 2026

What happens to your brain when you practice magic? My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Dr. Siddharth Ramakrishnan, PhD, reveals how your mind is wired for intentions, spells, and dreams. Using straightforward language and full-color brain maps, he translates the complex science behind the brain’s circuitry and reveals how practicing magic alters these circuits—literally rewiring the brain. In his new book, The Neuroscience of Magic: How Your Brain Is Wired for Intentions, Spells, and Dreams, readers discover how their minds are inherently built for magical thinking, and how that wiring can be intentionally harnessed. Through dozens of practical exercises, readers learn to amplify the power of their words, intentions, and beliefs to manifest results. Dr. Ramakrishnan is a neuroscientist, artist, and educator. He chairs the Neuroscience Department at the University of Puget Sound and is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER award. He is also the author of The Neuroscience of Tarot and creator of the Neuro Tarot deck.
