Boldly going where no science show has gone before.

The Naked Scientists.

Hello, well this week, how octopides or octopuses, whichever is your preference, may have temper tantrums,

we'll find out why shortly, why some people are genetically wired to feel more pain, and how scientists have

used a brain scanner to see what someone is imagining in their mind's eye.

Hello, welcome to this week's naked scientists.

Hello, yes indeed and this week we are also answering your science questions and lots of

them too because it's our science question and answer extravaganza.

got if you've got a question you'd like us to look at then send it in the

details will be coming along just in a moment.

Thank you very much Helen. Also later on in the show we'll catch up with what's been happening

Intriguing it certainly is stay tuned to find out how it works.
