Would you let your brain be temporarily switched off?
Joe Devlin, a neuroscientist at UCL, regularly
does this to willing volunteers as part of his research into the
neurological basis of language, using a technique called
transcranial magnetic stimulation. He talks to the Wellcome Trust's
Daniel Glaser about what zapping the brain can tell us about the
workings of our grey matter.
This packed lunch event was recorded live on 3
November 2010 at Wellcome Collection.
