Cosa ti dice il cervello?

The first set of shows with host Silva are vastly superior to those with later host Key. The tone is more cerebral in the earlier shows, whereas the later ones are done with more of a game show attitude with shrieking audiences, etc. Interesting stories about the brain and perception.

The show is pretty good and educational for most of its run. Sometimes the games were dumb but most of them were good. The show did get a little repititive but I enjoyed the first seven seasons. The show changes alot from seasons 1-7 but I still like all of those seasons. The show can teach you a lot of cool things In season eight they made it more of a game show with celebrities every episode and a magician whose tricks were obviously fake like guessing which random person in the crowd had a hat, which is statistically impossible but he guessed it because they faked it. Would recommended just skip season eight.

Even though an average (human) adult brain weighs only 3 lbs. and barely generates more than 12 watts of power, it's certainly a mighty complex mass of "grey matter" that can readily store and retrieve a million bits of information and help an average person to perform all sorts of tasks, some surprisingly complicated, some not.

The 2-disc set that I watched contained 3, 1-hour episodes from the best of TV's "Brain Games" in its first season of 2011.

Set in Las Vegas, Nevada - This is a very slick production that plays "perception/memory" games with its audience in order to find out if the viewer is, indeed, really paying attention (which, in most cases, we aren't).

For the most part - I found Brain Games to be actually quite entertaining - But, when trying to get its point across - This show did, sometimes, resort to a fair amount of superfluous "hocus-pocus" type stuff.

If seen free of skepticism and with an open eye; the possibilities from what you could learn... are endless.

The fascination of magic, if you are of kindergarten age.
