We discover how Moken sea Gypsy children train themselves to see clearly underwater, and meet a Vietnamese girl who speaks 11 different languages.

Medically trained journalist Michael Mosley reveals how surgical breakthroughs have shaped the evolution of modern medicine. He begins by investigating the history of brain surgery, discovering how the practice was revolutionised by Harvey Cushing, and meeting Howard Dully, who received a lobotomy from infamous physician Walter Freeman

The driving force behind every one of us is the most powerful organ in the natural world: the human brain. Our central processing unit generates as many electrical impulses in a single day as all the telephones in the world combined. With new state-of-the-art imagery of this complex, mysterious machine, we reveal how our brain accelerates when faced with intense stress or danger, and taps into its deepest layers to unlock prehistoric survival instincts.NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer tells us about making split-second decisions in the heat and stress of a 400-lap race.Desperate firefighters, trapped by the intense heat of a forest fire, find out how the brain can take charge without waiting for conscious control.A lone explorer, piloting a balloon over the Arctic, pushes himself to the limits of sleep deprivation.

In the futuristic setting of the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging at the University of California, Los Angeles, Alan gets a highly detailed scan of his brain - which for a man in his early 70s, is in remarkably good shape. This image, projected on a huge curved screen behind him, is the starting point for a search within his brain - as well as the brains of others - for the essential components of the Human Spark; a search informed by what the previous two programs have revealed about the attributes that make humans unique.

Using spectacular graphics based on the latest science and stories of remarkable people around the world, Michael Mosley takes us on a fantastic voyage through our inner universe.
