Across the UK, across Continental North America and around the world on the internet by webcast,

and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is The Unexplained.

Hope that everything is going well for you. It is now very nearly November. It might

be November by the time you hear this. And the year is sailing towards its inevitable conclusion.

And let's hope that there are more things that we can do and put into 2022 than we did

and put into 2021. That's a broad generalisation. Your year might have been packed with things.

Mine certainly hasn't been, but that's a whole other story. As they say, for a whole other time,

my thanks to Adam, my webmaster of his continuing work on this show. Thanks Adam for getting it out to you.

And also for making sure that the website, The Unexplained.tv,

ticks over in a hunky-dory kind of fashion.

Now the guest on this edition of The Unexplained is a scientist.

Somebody who deals in what may be the ultimate mystery, the human brain.

We're not entirely sure how it works. We have great understandings these days of the cosmos.

We can analyse signals that appear from space and maybe find out their origins.

And we know that signals are transmitted within the brain, billions of them.

But we don't totally understand the full mechanism of it. It is a miracle.

You know, a ball of meat, if you pardon the expression, grey matter in your head,

can apparently do and be so much. But these days there are challenges to it and also prospects for it.

There is the move towards new row technology that you will have been reading more about lately.

That can be an enormous boom. It can help people who maybe have conditions and problems.

Might be able to make you an even more able person than you are now in many ways.

But there are threats with that. There are difficulties with that.
