Acclaimed ABC Science broadcaster Robyn Williams takes the audience on an exploration into the history of what we know about the brain with special Congress guest Baroness Susan Greenfield, renowned brain researcher, author, and Fellow of the Royal Institute. In the last few years there have been massive developments in our understanding of the brain’s complexity and plasticity, much of which has been presented on television throughout the world. We’ll see clips from the best work on the marvels and mysteries of the human brain as we hear from two of the big brains in the world of science.
