Premiering on September 24, 2013, Tuesday at 9 PM is National Geographic
Channel’s new series Brain Games, a
show that explores the human mind’s powers of perception as well as the skills
that it affords us. Using mind-boggling experiments, brainteasers, optical
illusions and hard science, Brain Games
shows viewers how the human brain works and how their lives are affected as a
result.
NGC will be showing a Brain Games
special on September 24 for its premiere. In the premiere episode, viewers are
lured into the world of sleight of hand, of advanced card play and card magic,
with a focus on the oldest card trick in the world, the Three Card Monte. Card
performers will be revealing the secrets behind their tricks as well as
exploring the psychology that allows people to be tricked. Also, the connection
between human beings and primates will be highlighted, giving us a better
understanding of our social interactions and dynamics, and how we perceive our
relationships because we are hard-wired in a certain way.
Viewers of the show will learn that seeing isn’t necessarily believing
when they are presented with optical illusions that, when revealed, will
illustrate how our brains help us build our ideas of reality. Brain Games will also examine the powers
of persuasion and how marketers are trained to communicate with us in such ways
that our brains can’t help responding to or be convinced.
Brain Games will leave no fold of gray matter unturned,
no neuron untouched in its quest to help viewers understand how and why the
brain works. With the help of experts in neuroscience and mind trickery, the
show discusses and explains many aspects of thinking that affect our lives,
from issues of trust and sanity to why we make certain decisions and how men
and women’s brains work differently.
