Hunting for Hediona
Nowadays, more and more people are being diagnosed with a mental disease. Science may now have found the solution for the likes of depression, Tourette and various compulsive disorders: Deep Brain Stimulation. With the help of electrodes in the brain a feeling of happiness might be activated or negative emotions could be suppressed. The question remains whether this is an ethical practice as the possibility to change peoples personality is seemingly becoming a reality. In this documentary both scientists and patients talk about their experience with the controversial treatment.
Introduction by Kasper Spoelstra. Kasper Spoelstra is a PhD student in the field of Quantitative Neuroscience in the Dimphna Meijer lab, focusing on the molecular mechanisms that neurons (brain cells) use to establish connections and which drives our ability to think, remember, and coordinate our actions.
