"Learn how people block-out extreme pain with their thoughts, see what's different about a criminal's brain and understand why they say the human race is getting smarter. Meet the Rainman and learn what gives savants like him their extraordinary skills. You'll see why some patients are kept awake during brain surgery, and why a rat brain flying an F-22 fighter jet may one day change missions to space." -- website |
