Mind in motion a film by philippe baylaucq ex-library mint disc

Description: How is it possible for a blind person to see with his tongue? How can sight be used to alleviate pain in an amputated limb? There’s a revolution happening in neuroscience with the exploration of brain dynamics: it’s an upheaval that’s as important as Galileo’s discovery that the Earth is not the centre of the universe. New experiments, confirmed by medical imaging, show that our brain is an organ that is always evolving, endlessly creating new circuits and constructing itself by constantly adapting to the external world. These stunning breakthroughs reveal aspects of brain function that will transform our understanding of human beings and society. Taking us on an inward adventure, Mind in Motion probes the mechanisms that enable us to apprehend the world. Amazing experiments in perception, learning and attention raise questions about who we are. How is thought formed? How is consciousness related to the body and the environment? In the transmission of knowledge, how much is genetic and how much is cultural? With the help of internationally renowned scientists at the leading edge of this new research, the film tries to pierce the mystery of consciousness and see what makes us different – or not – from other animals
