Neuroscientist, Author (Horror on the Brain)

Austin Lim is a neuroscientist and associate teaching professor at DePaul University, where he offers a course called “The Brain through Science Fiction,” an exploration into how science fiction authors have used the popular scientific advances of their time to inspire their creative works. His new book, Horror on the Brain, is an exploration of the science and psychology behind fear, madness, and the haunting stories that linger in our minds. His other work has appeared in Scientific American, U.S. News & World Report, and many others. He is the author of the open-source introductory level neuroscience textbook Open Neuroscience Initiative, which has been adopted by faculty from more than sixty universities or colleges around the world since its completion in 2021.
