We would have no knowledge of ourselves. 01 The Brain ---- An Organ of a Special Kind? 02 Don’t Believe Your Eyes 03 Pleasure and Pain 04 Human Beings ---- Manipulated by Their Brains? 05 The Advantages of Prejudice ---- How Humans Learn 06 The Different Levels of Consciousness 07 When the Brain Became Human 08 Our Senses Create Our World 09 When the World Doesn’t Make Sense 10 The Brain Versus the Computer 11 The Fascination of Time 12 Man as Creator 13 Brain Damage and its Consequences dw-transtel.com Classics | DW Transtel SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY MEDICINE DOCUMENTARY 30 MIN.
