Our idiot brain - 10 years of learning

Back in 2016, Dean Burnett published his debut science book, The Idiot Brain. To mark the occasion, he hosted a panel of neuroscientist friends at the Royal Institution, all about the more quirky and baffling aspects of the brain.

One decade, millions of sales, and dozens of different language editions later, Dean has rounded up the same friends yet again for another night of fun and lively discussion about our most baffling organ, looking at what we've learned in the last 10 years.

Come join in, and learn about the more eccentric aspects of our grey matter with special guests including Suzi Gage and Pete Etchells.

Copies of the 10th Anniversary edition of "The Idiot Brain" will be available to purchase after the talk.
