Think back to your first memory. Now think about what you had for lunch today. Recall the smell of freshly baked bread and the sound of a traffic jam in a busy city street. Now think of three types of flowers: their names, their colours, their smells. Ever wonder how in a matter of a few seconds your brain can provide you with bits of unrelated information that transcend time and place? It's faster than the most advanced computer and far more powerful. Yet we hardly understand it. Get your head round the human brain with Brain Story.

Wow. A marathon of a documentary, but great stuff packed into every section.
I don't particularly agree with how they presented consciousness in the first half of the last segment, but their definition seemed to change to something I felt was more 'correct'(if you can say something like that about consciousness at all) as it neared the end.
Good stuff! I love brains!
