Trailer for Werner Herzog’s Brain Research Documentary Film THEATER OF THOUGHT — GeekTyrant

Werner Herzog has made a new documentary film titled Theater of Thought, and it explores the human brain. The human brain is so complex in so many ways, there’s so much that we still don’t understand about it and its power. I love watching Herzog’s docs, and this one looks absolutely fascinating.

Here’s the synopsis:

Werner Herzog sets his sights on yet another mysterious landscape — the human brain — for clues as to why a hunk of tissue can produce profound thoughts and feelings while considering the philosophical, ethical, and social implications of fast-advancing neural technology. Werner Herzog turned 80 this year. He’s travelled on every continent including Antarctica. In recent films, he’s reached back in time to study ancient paintings, stared down into volcanoes, and cast our eyes heavenwards to contemplate meteorites. Now he ventures into the inner landscape of our brains.”

Herzog interviews various scientists and researchers who are studying the human brain and/or developing ways to control it using technology. There’s no release date for the film yet, but it’s going to dive into some awesomely interesting information.
