Title: TV show Brain Games
Post by: Solus on June 17, 2013, 04:09:45 PM

Came across a link to a discussion about a new TV show called Brain Games.  The video at the link gives a few examples of what the show is about.

Basically it deals with how the human brain perceives things and how it can be "tricked".  

I've made this type of stuff a vocation and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Megan Kelly is in the video at this link, so that alone makes the video worth watching.

The show is on series record on my DVR.  My wife hates watching it with me because I rarely fall for their tricks.

The ones  you do fall for might be the most valuable.

You learn what to watch for when it might be tried outside of the show.

Absolutely.  The most valuable ones to me is learning to see the types of distraction/diversionary tactics Apollo Robins uses.
