More About the Show

The human brain is the most complex object we’ve discovered in the universe, and every day much of its neural circuitry is taken up with the tens of thousands of decisions we need to make. ‘How do I decide?’ is a journey through the unseen world of decisions, and how they get made. 

We start with a simple one: choosing a flavour of frozen yoghurt, and learn that every decision we make is born of a ‘winner takes all’ competition between rival neural networks.
