Exploring the Connection Between Brain, Mind and Body

How does the brain function? How do memories form? What happens when we dream? Where are our emotions encoded in the brain? Why are robots so stiff? Is it possible to stop a seizure before it happens? How do we perceive the world around us? How can we interface between the brain and machines? How can we retain brain function as we age? How can we learn from the way the brain computes to create faster and more efficient computers? How can we track cognitive function with computer games? And what are Princess Leia Brainwaves?

These and other questions are explored in this introductory video about the connection between brain, mind and body.
