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 2. Who's in Charge Here?
Who's in control - you or your brain? Your conscious thoughts are only the tip of the iceberg when
it comes to all the activity going on inside your head. Every minute your brain is bombarded with
information - sights, sounds, smells, feelings - and you are aware of only a tiny fraction of it.
How does your brain decide what to trust and what to ignore, all without you even knowing? What
sneaky shortcuts does it take to speed up your mental ability? Why is multi-tasking so dangerous?
Using some surprising illusions and lots of audience participation, Bruce will make you say the
wrong thing and fail to see what's right in front of you. Can you really believe your eyes? Possibly
not!
