Professor Bruce Hood delivers the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures 2011 'Meet Your Brain'.

Inside each and every one of us it the most marvellous structure in the known universe - the human
brain. Our brain makes us who we are and yet the way it works has been a mystery for much of human
civilization. We all know that we think but not how we think. Deep inside every brain is a vast
hidden world of complexity that defies description. Yet science has made important discoveries in
recent years that begin to uncover the workings of this remarkable organ.

Part 1. What's in Your Head?
What's inside your head? Your brain may look like a big walnut, but it has the ability to create an
almost unlimited stream of images, thoughts, memories and dreams. Undoubtedly the most complex
material in the universe, and yet it's just a collection of simple cells. Join us as we get under
your skull and take a peek inside. What do brainwaves look like? How fast is a neuron? Why does your
brain create its own version of reality? Bruce will use technology to measure brain activity and
follow eye movement, build a virtual brain out of audience volunteers and play some guessing games
with your mind. In the process, he'll show how everything you perceive is just an interpretation of
the nerve impulses that your brain receives - which isn't really that much. Ultimately, we are all
experts at filling in the blanks.
