Is religious belief hard-wired in our brains?

Brains have an evolutionary predilection toward bad behavior.

Jason Silva heads to the New Jersey Shore to see where your brain started as a baby where it is going as an adult and into old age.

Jason Silva leads viewers through a series of games and experiments designed to show that the brain has far more than just five senses.

Four survivors from different walks of life take on different types of challenges, from getting lost while trail trekking to socializing over beer. Watch to see how each one survives or thrives in different circumstances, and ultimately learn what's the best kind of brain when we see who wins out overall across some tough competition.
