NSN Short| David Pogue's Brain Scan

from NOVA Vodcast | PBS Hosted by WGBH Science Unit

What could you learn just by looking at a brain? As it turns out, Dean Falk could probably tell you a lot. She is an anthropologist at Florida State University and at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico. And when she examines David Pogue's brain scan she correctly predicts that he is colorblind.
