10 Walks Through the Human Mind

The human brain is the most complex thing in the universe, scientists believe, whose efforts are aimed at understanding its mysteries. The brain speaks in the language of electrical signals, receiving messages from muscles and organs at a speed of 120 meters per second. For it, light is energy that enters the eye and transforms into objects that mean something to us. Our memories are stored in it. And it ultimately creates our personality. But can we learn to read other people's thoughts? Can modern technology enhance the human brain? In this collection of lectures delivered at the Royal Institution, we will discuss discoveries that help us grasp the secrets of the brain and consciousness, and thus better understand ourselves.
