Körper vs. Geist
F1
Körper vs. GeistGehirn und Körper sind auf endlose Arten verbunden. Diese Episode erörtert die Frage, wer letztlich das Sagen hat. Meist arbeiten die beiden zwar untrennbar zusammen, doch ebenso leicht kann ihre Beziehung in sich zusammenbrechen. Eine Reihe an interaktiven Spielen und Experimenten zeigt, wie das Gehirn den Körper austrickst und ihn dumme Dinge machen lässt. Außerdem wird eine Methode erklärt, wie man die Reaktionszeit des Körpers nutzen kann, um einfach und schnell etwas Geld zu verdienen.

You'll learn how you don't always "see" the full picture and why sometimes it's better to trust other people more and yourself a little less. Trust us - your mind will be blown.
