The Rebooting the Brain podcast is a science-driven, story-rich audio-visual series hosted by Dr. Sharan Srinivasan (Functional Neurosurgeon) and Dr. Prathiba Sharan (Neuropsychologist). It brings together voices from neuroscience, neurorehabilitation, mechatronics, emergency response, patient care, and beyond—offering honest conversations about how brains break, and how they can heal.
From groundbreaking innovations in brain circuit therapy to deeply personal patient journeys, the podcast is a space where clinical depth meets human insight.
With over 3 million views in just six months, it has quickly become one of India’s most impactful healthcare podcasts.
Do You Really See With Your Eyes? Or With Your Brain?
When asked to identify an object, like a pen, most people respond quickly: “It’s a pen.”
But here’s the deeper question:
Is it your eyes that tell you it’s a pen — or your brain?
Fifty percent of people say “eyes.” The rest say “brain.” But even those who say “brain” might just be giving a clever answer.
Let’s test it.
Imagine you’re asleep, and someone lifts your eyelid and places a pen in front of your eye.
Do you see the pen?
No.
Are you blind?
No.
Why don’t you see it then?
Because your eye is on, but your brain is off.

Why this Podcast?
The brain is complex—but conversations about it don’t have to be.
Dr. Sharan and Dr. Prathiba launched this podcast to bridge the gap between cutting-edge neuroscience and the real lives it affects. Too often, medical knowledge is locked in jargon, or patient experiences are reduced to case notes. This podcast breaks that mold.
It exists to:
Make brain science understandable, accessible, and human
Spotlight recovery stories that offer hope and direction
Introduce listeners to the evolving world of neurorehab, cognitive care, and functional recovery
Encourage dialogue around stigma, trauma, and healing
