A New Brain

This feature documentary tells the story of one of the great achievements of our time: how Barbara Arrowsmith, a woman born with severe learning deficits transformed her brain and developed a brain training method that offers hope to millions. As we follow people going through her program, we also investigate the greater power of neuroplasticity. With leading neuroscientists and other experts, we explore whether intense brain training can not only help us overcome learning disabilities, but also help us resist the addiction of technology. Will brain training help us develop critical thinking skills so we harness AI as a tool, instead of as a substitute for thinking?
