Summary: The human brain, with its billions of neurons and trillions of connections, may be the greatest piece of technology ever created. However, just like humans, it is not perfect. Its flaws mould and distort our perception of reality, giving rise to false memories, ill-advised financial decisions, and the ease to which advertisers and politicians manipulate our behaviour and beliefs. Neurobiologist and author Dean Buonomano sits down with Piya Chattopadhyay to discuss his book, "Brain Bugs: How the Brain's Flaws Shape Our Lives."
