The most complex thing that we have discovered in the universe is the human brain and for the past 20 years American neuroscientist, Dr David Eagleman, has been attempting to understand how what happens in just three pounds of jello like material somehow becomes us.

In a cubic centimeter of brain tissue there are as many connections as stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, what we feel, what matters to us as individuals, our belief systems and our hopes, everything we are happens in the brain.

In this six-part documentary series Eagleman, takes us on a journey that explores in inner workings of how our brain’s work and contemplates what it really is that makes us who we are.
