Segments: Magic and the Brain details the neuroscience involved in illusions; Can Machines Think Like Us? profiles Watson, the IBM computer designed to compete against human contestants on Jeopardy!; Magnetic Mind Control explores how scientists soon may be able to "hack" into the human brain; and Profile: David Eagleton looks at how the researcher’s "guerilla science" attempts to alter people’s sense of time and explain the phenomenon of synesthesia.
