Summary In this documentary various tests show how easily the human brain can be fooled. Episode 1 on attention is shot in Los Vegas and shows how magicians use this knowledge of the brain to perform their tricks. This episode tests your attentiveness with visual tricks. Episode 2 deals with sensory perception and is shot in Hollywood where filmmakers use images and sound to create compelling illusions of reality. This episode tests your senses by manipulating colour, light, motion and depth perception. Episode 3 investigates memory and is shot in New York where a veteran NYPD detective challenges you to test your memory by testing your recall and the forming of false memories. Among others in the series, the neuroscientist, Bas Rokers is interviewed on the functioning of the brain.
