Piece Description
The "mind" and "self" were formerly the domain of philosophers and priests. Today, it?s neurologists who, armed with giant magnets, are asking the big questions, like "How does the brain make me?" We stare into the mirror with Dr. Julian Keenan, reflect on the illusion of self-hood with British neurologist Paul Broks, contemplate the evolution of consciousness with Dr. V. S. Ramachandran. Also, the story of woman who one day woke up as a completely different person.

Truly thought-provoking
Anyone prone to introspection (most of us) will find this show fascinating. Self-identity is one of the most important concepts in all of human society, yet this show is a powerfully engaging reminder that there are many things we do not know about our selves.
