About the show

Dr Bérengère Digard (The University of Edinburgh) talks about how your inner world is crafted by your brain. Discover how the brain creates life-like films, erases all sounds and images, blurs faces and gives flavours to sounds. Does the state of the world make you anxious? Worried? Full of impending doom? Emily Payne (The University of Edinburgh) thinks that’s probably a good thing. A dive into the neuroscience behind anxiety reveals instability is to blame, and what you can do about it. Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.
