Learning about the brain with magic
Neuroscientists are teaming up with magicians to learn about human behavior and the brain.
The World's Science correspondent Rhitu Chatterjee recently spoke with neuroscientists Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde about what the two professions are teaching each other.
Macknik and Martinez-Conde are also the authors of the new book "Sleights of Mind," and they are taking listener questions on The World's online Science Forum discussion.
