Description:
|
‘Who Is in Control?’ explores the great
deception that greets us each morning
when we awake: it feels as though we are
in conscious control of our lives but
the truth is that we are not. Instead
almost every action, every decision,
every belief that we hold is driven by
parts of the brain that we have no
access to.
Neurologist, Dr. David Eagleman first
discusses physical movement among other
examples, and reveals the electrical
storm of unconscious neural activity
that accompanies every movement we take.
What would it be like if we needed to
consciously focus on every movement? PBS
(60 min.)
This is a free event.
Bring your lunch and the Library
provides the coffee and cookies.
