Discovery Channel - The Brain Our Universe Within: Perception 



Information
The Brain Our Universe Within: Perception
Recently it has become possible to undertake what had previously been thought impossible - charting the activities of the mind, such as memory and thought. Join Dr. David Suzuki as he investigates evidence that our minds - thoughts, feelings, spirituality and creativity - are merely complicated networks of biochemical reactions. Imagine the dramatic social implications this theory could have on the world today.. Perception: Although we all start with the same basic neuronal architecture, our life experiences physically change our mental make-up - and the way we perceive information from our senses. Explore each of the five senses - following the pathway from the sensory neurons, through the thalamus, to the cortex - and learn what happens when you get your sensory wires crossed.

Comments

I would very much appreciate it if someone takes the time to comment whether this is the 1998 series of the same name. I'm asking because there the 1st ep was called Evolution, plus the description to this one starts with "recently", so...is this a new one?
Its some old chinese guy..
Yeah, its him in the 1998 version too, I just thought maybe they released an updated version (happens sometimes).
This is definitely from the 1994 series. If you've downloaded the old torrent:
http://thepiratebay.ee/torrent/5809443/The_brain__our_universe_within_-_discovery_
then this seems to be the "missing" episode.

As best as I can tell the order should be:
1. Evolution
2. Perception
3. Memory
4. The Miraculous Mind
5. Matter Over Mind

Unfortunately though this torrent seems to have issues. The quality is fine but the aspect ratio hasn't been set correctly so it doesn't display as 4:3 as it should. It also appears not to have been de-interlaced.

The aspect ratio can be fixed by re-saving the MKV using MKVMergeGUI, which is part of MKVToolNix.
