Manage episode 476645168 series 2648360

How much about the day-to-day workings of the brain do we fully understand, and what does the future of medicine have in store for it?
In this recording of our live show from the World Science Festival Brisbane, we explore the wonder of brain surgery, advances in neurotech, and whether we could one day preserve consciousness and ‘live’ forever.
