Brain God - Season 1 Episode 2 Under construction
Let's try to decode the mysteries of the most complex organ in the universe.
Just over a hundred people are identified with a kind of superpower, the savants. What do studies from the past decade tell us about these special cases and why is having an exceptional memory not necessarily a good thing? Memory plays a decisive role in our lives, but we should not rely on it too much. The association between memory and language, speech and art will have given a decisive boost to human evolution. If language is fundamental, music assumes a structural and transversal role to human society, visible in the way it activates the brain itself. There is no record of any culture that has never used or created music. What is the reason for the power of music in the human brain? What effects can it have on the brains of children who practice music daily? Why should great leaders listen to music together before making important decisions? Why does music have the power of seduction? Are genius and creativity born with us or are they built?
