Movie: “Inside information: the brain and how it works”

Inside information: the brain and how it works "This program, is devoted to how the brain processes information. The program explains the latest research on the brain; what we do and don't know about the brain's processes; how individual parts of the brain work; how the brain uses pattern recognition rather than logic to interpret reality; and which experiments with computer analogs have been successful, which have failed, and why.

The program also provides interviews with some of the foremost researchers in the field, including neuroscientist John Hopfield, vision scientist V.S. Ramachandran, and physicist Carver Mead, who has a computer chip that can 'see'."
