- Summary
- COI synopsis: The human brain - evolved over millions of years - is the most complex and powerful creation that we know of. Today, we look at new ways in which we’re approaching greater understanding of this complex organ. The eyes are the brain’s major source of information. A team of psychologists are using a tiny infra-red camera fitted on the cheek as a monitor of eye movements. The aim is to observe just how the eye functions during complex mental tasks.
