REN TV will show a new scientific and educational documentary "The Stranger inside"

Inside a person lives the most mysterious and powerful object in the universe — the brain. The documentary film "THE STRANGER INSIDE" by NMG DOC challenges everything that a person knows about his "I".

Outstanding Russian scientists – Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Tatiana Chernihiv and neuroscientist Alexander Kaplan, biologist Maxim Kireev and Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Konstantin Anokhin – will guide viewers through the labyrinths of human consciousness to uncover the shocking secrets of the most mysterious organ.

Who really makes the decisions: us or our brain? Experiments show that areas of the brain associated with decision-making are activated a fraction of a second before we realize our choice. It turns out that our brain is an autonomous, complex "alien" inside us that controls us, and we are only aware of its decisions after the fact? Why does the brain cheat and distort reality? What happens to the brain when a person dies? How does the brain of a genius differ from the brain of an ordinary person? Will we lose control of our lives due to the development of artificial intelligence? And how do you learn to understand your brain?

"THE STRANGER INSIDE" is a scientific investigation and an attempt to crack the code of one's own self. In an era when artificial intelligence challenges the very nature of consciousness, the film seeks answers to the main questions: what is the uniqueness of our mind, can a machine gain awareness and emotional intelligence, and how to maintain control over its own thinking?

Broadcast on Sunday, December 21, at 23:55 on REN TV. This NMG DOCK project is also available for viewing in VK Videos.
