We think of imagination as a creative faculty. The truth is that it’s the default setting of our everyday lives. Join Professor Adam Zeman for a fascinating adventure in the maze of the mind.

Far from being a faculty used only in creative endeavours, the imagination is used constantly when we  reminisce, anticipate, plan, daydream and read. We live in the here and now much less than we tend to think. Imagination isn’t the exception in our daily lives; it’s our default setting. Yet only now are we beginning to understand exactly how it works.

From hallucination to sleepwalking, REM sleep to delusions, neurologist Adam Zeman joins us as a guide to the latest scientific studies in the world of the imagination. Drawing on research in neuroscience, the study of human origins and child development, he will show us how the human brain is above all else a creative, imaginative organ – and that we have evolved to share what we imagine.

Join us for this essential investigation into the latest discoveries about the workings of the human mind.
