Episode description

Why did we evolve that large bony box on top of our shoulders? Presumably to house something important. That would be our brain. We talk about the basic organisation of the brain, types cortex, left and right hemispheres. Brendan describes the groundbreaking research on the bionic eye now going on in Australia. Fascinating stuff. Rod interviews Brendan O'Brien from the ANU School of Psychology, and Mic Cavazzini from the John Curtin School of Medical Research. Brains were stretched, but none were harmed during the course of this interview. Fuzzy Logic is now on Facebook. 24MB 53min.
