It's Science Week 2020 and in this Super Brain Episode, sponsored by Science Foundation Ireland, Dr Sabina Brennan questions whether the impact that technology has on the human brain is cause for celebration or a case for concern.

Some of the brightest brains from science, technology and the arts share their thoughts. Have a listen to find out how you can have your say also.
