Automatic Brain

The Magic/Power of the Unconscious

Two parts documentary about the brain: "The Magic of the Unconscious" and "The Power of the Unconscious" "Your brain is a state-of-the-art marvel, managing 90% of everything you do without letting you know regardless of whether you're awake or asleep. When you think you have an idea your brain has already had that idea. Something in your head navigates you through the everyday adventures of modern life, something that decides things for you before you can think about it, because your brain is always on automatic."
