The Human Mind - Season 1 Episode 1 Get Smart
The first programme in the series uncovers what happens in our minds when we learn, remember and have original ideas. It explores what we can do to improve our ability to acquire and manipulate knowledge and shows how eating fish oils can boost our brain power. Professor Robert Winston looks at how memory can be improved and how physical tasks can be learnt more easily. Robert discovers what happens when we have those eureka moments of original thought - and how to have more of them. The programme meets the fire chief who tapped into his intuitive powers and saved the lives of his fire crew and we follow a trainee midwife in the run-up to her exams. Will she be able to remember the huge amount of information needed to pass? More importantly, can she apply it to a real childbirth?
