Would be nice if you could add captions for the deaf and hard of hearing can enjoy the video as well.

Very Cool and interesting I enjoyed it and learned a lot. It was a bit freaky when they showed the brain but other then that it was really cool.

If you think humans are incredible, you should see animals. We're not the best, fastest or strongest physical predator on the planet - what makes us so dangerous and successful are our brains.

Wow... cyborg vision... the wonderful possibilities for new adventures, positive experiences, learning opportunities, and original horrors.

I have always thought that we have less freedom of 'choice' in life than people always tend to think. So much of our experience and desire is automatic, intellectual free choice is often just a slave to the lower instinct. We have very little power even over our own bodies! Though hopefully in the future this will change.

Personally I have never experienced life-like dreams, as some of the lucid dreamers describe. My dreams rarely have any detail - only the bare minimum to create an feeling experience of the moment or an episode. I am always aware that I am dreaming... it is like my logic center never turns off.... even when I sleep. For example I have never had a dream where I feel present.

Science of dreaming is of course pretty vague and cryptic itself because of the immense complexity involved dealing with the phenomena.

A highly entertaining doc that illustrates the strength, ingenious yet automated nature of the human being.

Still looking for the doc that explains why Canadians have flappy heads though :(
