Episode 2.In the heat of the moment.

How disgust is learned and linked to the area of the brain which reports feelings in the stomach, and how long-term fear can cause permanent damage to soldiers brains.
Episode 3.The mind's eye.
Features interviews with patients with damage to various areas of the brain relating to visual perception, including a man with an inability to recognise faces, another who cannot recognise everyday objects and a lady who cannot see movement.
Looks at how optical illusions work, experiments involving the visual attention system and a stroke patient.
Goes on to hypothesize how we live in a completely personal world invented by our minds and based on previous experience, however real it may seem it is actually a rough estimation of the real world, simply a waking dream.
Episode 4.First Among Equals.

Episode 5.Growing the mind.
Synopsis
Greenfield explains that how in her view learning, memory and even the process of becoming a unique individual, are due to physical process in the brain, as it adapts to the environment it encounters.
Full Recap
Explores the changes in the brain during the growth and development of a baby into an adult, and how little of the structure of our brains is predetermined at birth, how the connections between nerves are constantly changing in response to what we encounter in the outside world. Life is about how the world leaves its mark on us.
Episode 6.The final mistery.
Synopsis
This episode looks at the difficult subjects of consciousness and free will. The brain is made of the same biological ingredients as the rest of the body, and yet somehow it manages to generate consciousness. How does consciousness fit in with the view that there is no supernatural 'soul', and that we are just biological machines?
Full Recap
An interview with a man who is not conscious of the right side of his visual perception, yet can guess which way a marker is moving 90% of the time. Experiments with anesthetics show the effects on awareness and feeling, a look at circus performers who use self-hypnosis to block pain while mutilating themselves on stage. Describes how tennis players train their subconscious minds to return the ball without being aware of it.
Benjamin Libet's extraordinary experiments show how we are only conscious of events half a second after they have occurred, while Patrick Haggard takes this further showing how our brain makes the decision before we are aware of it. Is there such a thing as free will, or is it just an illusion?
