Test Your Brain This groundbreaking three-part series provides a fascinating window into the inner workings of the human brain. Through interactive experiments and tricks, the show reveals how our brains create the illusion of a seamless reality. As these revealing experiments provide a unique view into our brains, the world's leading experts explain how and why these tests work. Explore cutting-edge science to examine real people with extraordinary brains, revealing new discoveries about attention, sensory perception and memory.

[edit] Pay Attention

Designed to test your memory, the first episode presents viewers with a mock-up crime scene. In a New York park, a man is mugged in broad daylight. Test your Brain: You Won't Believe Your Eyes But can you describe the robbery seconds later? And will your description be the same as that of the person next to you?
