Le cerveau, en bref

The first three episodes were really interesting, and covered a good range of fascinating material. The episode on mindfulness wasn't bad, but relied more on practitioners and less on objective facts. But then, the episode on hallucinogens really pulled the series down. It relied on scant facts to pull together a case for further investigation into hallucinogens. Perhaps there's a case for this, but it didn't fit well into a series based much more on science and the mind in the natural world. There are so many aspects of the mind which could have been explored. This last episode also took away from some of what had been presented in the Mindfulness episode.

As someone grappling with both depression and anxiety, this show was enlightening.

It touched on why I probably started having memory issues and also enlightened me into why I stopped feeling hopeful about the future. (hint, the part of the brain dealing with memory also deals with your hopes and dreams qnd it shrinks because of depression).

I then learnt what the value of dreams are, why exercise seems to help with my anxiety and why meditation was, strangely, one of the most helpful exercises I got into in the year that my depression was it its best.

I loved this show despite the fact that it's not an indepth view of psychology but as a show, for entertainment and enlightenment, it's piqued my curiosity and I will certainly look into the concepts I've learnt in a lot more detail.

The episodes of this show give you some easy-to-digest insight to lots of interesting topics ranging from dreams and psychedelics to personality and focus.

Not everything in this show is supremely scientific, but it gets your gears turning and allows you the chance to ask yourself some questions and consider making potential behavior changes. They're not "how to" guides, nor should they be viewed that way. Rather they have information in them meant to shed some light on intriguing topics of the mind, utilizing studies and field experts to help elevate the conversation.

Some of the episodes fall a little short, feeling a little too fluffed or maybe more socially driven than scientifically driven. But it's worth spending the 20-25 minutes per episode watching, listening, and being open-minded.

Really interesting documentary it covers topics such as memory, dreams, anxiety, psychedelics and more. Ive seen 2 episodes so far hopefully the rest of the season is just as good

Excellent clearly explained snapshot of each episode title, nicely compiled and great supporting visuals. Cool and informative little series.
