Human Body: Pushing The Limits—Brain Power
40 minutes; Film schedule
The driving force behind every one of us is the most powerful organ in the natural world: the human brain. With new state-of-the-art imagery of this complex, mysterious machine, discover how our brain accelerates when faced with intense stress or danger, and taps into its deepest layers to unlock prehistoric survival instincts.
- NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer tells about making split-second decisions in the heat and stress of a 400-lap race.
- Desperate firefighters, trapped by the intense heat of a forest fire, learn how the brain can take charge without waiting for conscious control.
- A lone explorer, piloting a balloon over the Arctic, pushes himself to the limits of sleep deprivation. It nearly costs him his life.
Plus, learn about the extraordinary ways our brains can re-tune our system when starvation threatens, and how sleep and dreams can unleash unseen powers in our mind. Part of the acclaimed Human Body: Pushing The Limits—Brain Power series.
