Make Up Your Mind
This episode discovers the "you" inside your head — the part of your mind, sitting right behind your forehead, that decides what you do every waking second of the day.
 The program reconstructs an accident 150 years ago that caused a railroad worker named Phineas Gage to lose his sense of self; sees children's reasoning powers gradually come into being; and scans Alan Alda's brain as he struggles to make decisions while feeling cheated.
