DVD Reviews of NOVA: Secrets of the Mind
DVD Review: disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Watched this some weeks ago and really can't remember it other than to say it was not what I was looking for. Thought it would give more info about how the mind works, diseases of the mind, basic anatomy and physiology but seems that it only focused on a few stories of people with mind issues. More of a bio on those few featured rather than an overview of the mind itself. Returned this one immediately and again got great service/full refund from Amazon.com, thanks!DVD Review: NOVA: Secrets of the Mind
Summary: 5 Stars
Received product in excellent condition and in a timely manner. This product gave interesting observations and insight into what our brains perceive over matter. Moreover, some interesting insight into areas of our thought perceptions that may or may not be "REAL" or tangible, but are mentally REAL. Parts of the video deal with phantom pain, how real this pain is to those experiencing it, and ways to deal with or aleviate the brains memory path to body parts that no longer exist. DVD Review: no secret
Summary: 4 Stars
This film was very informative and intriguing. The research is thorough and easy to follow.DVD Review: Rock Star
Summary: 5 Stars
V.S. Ramachandran is just that.
I found this special to be utterly fascinating. I must admit that I was under the impression that the human brain was more mysterious than it seems to be. There are still great mysteries there but I obviously haven't kept up with our advancements.
V.S. is charming and brilliant. He understands how to comunicate grand ideas to the common man/woman.
This is fantastic time to be alive. The scientific advances in our time are simply astounding.
DVD Review: Secrets of the Mind - Great science and a great man
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Ramachandran is not only a great researcher in the active field of brain science, but is actually helping people. This is an excellent feature which illustrates several real life examples of helping people in dire need of medical assistance while doing good research and solid science. Dr. Ramachandran is as brilliant an educator and public speaker as he is a researcher. This was a totally engrossing demonstration of ongoing research applied to people and their problems. Another very interesting DVD featuring Dr. Ramachandran, as well as other important brain researchers is "Consciousness", also available from Amazon.
