When we imagine great mysteries we think of distant galaxies or unexplorable ocean depths. But one of the greatest mysteries is a lot closer to home. It’s in our heads.   The human brain is the most complex data processor in the known universe. But we still have very little idea how our own consciousness actually works.   This week, we’re bringing you three stories that shed light on the intricacies of our minds.   It’s the first episode of Dark Matters. Our new series about the fundamental essence of life and how so much of it remains a mystery to us.    These stories were produced in collaboration with All the Best mentors for the Science Gallery’s new show — Dark Matters. The exhibition is open now and includes a listening station where you can hear work from our students.    Featuring stories by Valentina Boulter, Amelia Costigan, and Angelina Maroulis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
