Premiering on September
24, 2013, Tuesday at 9 PM is National Geographic Channel’s new
series Brain Games, a show that explores the human mind’s
powers of perception as well as the skills that it affords us. Using
mind-boggling experiments, brainteasers, optical illusions and hard
science, Brain Games shows viewers how the human brain works
and how their lives are affected as a result.
NGC will be showing a
Brain Games special on September 24 for its premiere. In the
premiere episode, viewers are lured into the world of sleight of
hand, of advanced card play and card magic, with a focus on the
oldest card trick in the world, the Three Card Monte. Card performers
will be revealing the secrets behind their tricks as well as
exploring the psychology that allows people to be tricked. Also, the
connection between human beings and primates will be highlighted,
giving us a better understanding of our social interactions and
dynamics, and how we perceive our relationships because we are
hard-wired in a certain way.
Viewers of the show will
learn that seeing isn’t necessarily believing when they are
presented with optical illusions that, when revealed, will illustrate
how our brains help us build our ideas of reality. Brain Games
will also examine the powers of persuasion and how marketers are
trained to communicate with us in such ways that our brains can’t
help responding to or be convinced.
Brain Games will
leave no fold of gray matter unturned, no neuron untouched in its
quest to help viewers understand how and why the brain works. With
the help of experts in neuroscience and mind trickery, the show
discusses and explains many aspects of thinking that affect our
lives, from issues of trust and sanity to why we make certain
decisions and how men and women’s brains work differently.
NGC has partnered with
@IGersManila to promote Brain Games through the Instagram
