What’s going through the mind of an Olympic rower at the starting line? Is an athlete’s brain all that different from a non-athlete? And what lessons can we all learn from a sports mind coach?  In this episode of How We’re Wired, join producer Dr Eva Higginbotham as she looks at the neuroscience and psychology of elite sport.   With special thanks to Frances Houghton, Mark Williams, and Don Macpherson.    How We’re Wired is a Fresh Air Production for The Bertarelli Foundation.

Focus - How We Succeed

Love. Touch. Speech. Movement. Consciousness.
What do they all have in common?
From before birth to after death, our brains underpin our experiences and feelings. They make us who we are. But how?
In How We’re Wired, evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin goes behind the scenes of cutting-edge neuroscience research to uncover the fascinating stories of how our brains grow, change, and ultimately die.
Together, we’ll meet the scientists exploding our understanding of how the brain works and head into labs developing life-changing technologies. From hormones to heartbreak, we’re exploring true, personal stories of people’s lives – and brains - from birth to death, taking a deep look at the science that explains us all.
