So babies absorb the statistics of the language and it changes their brains it changes them from the citizens of the world to the culture bound listeners that we are.

Developmental disorders in children are typically diagnosed by observing behavior, but Aditi Shankardass knew that we should be looking directly at their brains. She explains how a remarkable EEG device has revealed mistaken diagnoses and transformed children's lives.

But what was unexpected was that these researchers did MRI brain imaging while the people were drinking the wine, and not only did they say they enjoyed the more expensively labeled wine more their brain actually registered as experiencing more pleasure from the same wine when it was labeled with a higher price tag.

When two people are trying to make a deal whether they re competing or cooperating what s really going on inside their brains? Behavioral economist Colin Camerer shows research that reveals just how little we re able to predict what others are thinking. And he presents an unexpected study that shows chimpanzees might just be better at it than we are. em em
