The Neuromantics – Episode 1(S2)

Tempest Productions

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 1 In this constantly shifting world, with its endless novel experiences and influences, one thing we can be sure of is that we're not the same person as we were at birth. Welcome to the first episode of the second season of the Neuromantics, in which writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott juggle ideas of human response to a changing environment. Some exquisite examples of 9th and 10th century Arabic poetry suggest that early writers were trying to pin down or preserve the world around them. Meanwhile, an academic paper on mental rotation explores the relationship between physical movement and mental perception. All this flux - how fitting for an episode recorded during the Covid lockdown.
