4 out of 5 stars Secrets of the Mind   September 12, 2009
C. Tennent (Pittsburgh PA)
This DVD opens up your mind to try to understand another's mind. You are helped to see the world as others perceive it and some of the aberrations that can occur. The brain is such a complex organ that the more you learn about it, the less you seem to understand it.


4 out of 5 stars It will blow your mind   July 10, 2009
Marco A. Colmenarez (Florida, USA)
I am amazed how the brain functions are configured to work the way they do. Also, the DVD gives us a clear view of this powerful organ which coordinates the entire body interactions. Moreover, I cannot understand how the big-bang theory, or evolution could attribute the complex design of the brain to random selection, evolution, adaptation or similar views.

Watched this some weeks ago and really can't remember it other than to say it was not what I was looking for. Thought it would give more info about how the mind works, diseases of the mind, basic anatomy and physiology but seems that it only focused on a few stories of people with mind issues. More of a bio on those few featured rather than an overview of the mind itself. Returned this one immediately and again got great service/full refund from Amazon.com, thanks!

Received product in excellent condition and in a timely manner. This product gave interesting observations and insight into what our brains perceive over matter. Moreover, some interesting insight into areas of our thought perceptions that may or may not be "REAL" or tangible, but are mentally REAL. Parts of the video deal with phantom pain, how real this pain is to those experiencing it, and ways to deal with or aleviate the brains memory path to body parts that no longer exist.
