Summary
David Eagleman: Brain - the story of you
Locked in the silence and darkness of the skull, the brain creates rich narratives of your reality and identity. Join renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman in discovering the answers to the questions that lie at the core of our existence. What is reality? Who are you? How do you make decisions? Why does the brain need other people? How can technology change the essence of human beings? During his research, Eagleman takes you through the world of extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, brain surgery, instincts, robotics and the quest for immortality. Buckle up for a tour of the inner cosmos. Out of the infinitely dense ball of billions of brain cells and their trillions of connections emerges something you might not have expected to find there: you. This is a story about how life shapes the brain and how the brain shapes life.
