Professor Bruce Hood was the invited speaker for The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures this year and his subject was Meet your brain. Although they are presented to an audience of school children (early teens) they make for fascinating viewing giving us an insight into what makes us truly human.
For more information on the lectures and Professor Hood go to http://www.bris.ac.uk/news/2011/8127.html
The lectures are available to view on BBC iPlayer until January 5th 2012.
Lecture 1 What's in your head?
Lecture 2 Who's in charge here?
Lecture 3 Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Although this isn't about OCD it does give us an insight as to why as humans we behave and react the way that we do.
