Redesign My Brain

Description: TV personality Todd Sampson gets a new brain in this programme. It explores the science of neuroplasticity, which means the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. In other words, with specific training, anyone can become smarter, increase their memory capacity, and reverse mental aging. Sampson puts that premise to the test, as over the course of three months he undertakes a scientifically endorsed training program to turn his ordinary brain into a "super-brain".
