Royal Institution Channel: Christmas Lectures 2011 - Meet your Brain
Bruce is the Director of the Bristol Cognitive Development Centre in the Experimental Psychology Department at the University of Bristol. He has been a Research Fellow at Cambridge University and University College London, a visiting scientist at MIT and a Faculty Professor at Harvard.
The lectures will explore how our brains work and just what makes us truly human. Lecture one explores what the brain does and how it works – and how our brains create their own version of reality. Lecture two focuses on what makes our brain decide what information to trust, and what to ignore. Lastly, lecture three looks at why we are each programmed to read other people’s minds.
