The Electric Brain - S2.E8

Our nervous system is fundamentally electric. We move our arm by sending a signal to the muscles that control it.

In this episode, I explore how we can use electricity and our brains to control cockroaches, move other people’s limbs, restore motion to people who are paralyzed, and even read people’s minds.
