Additional screenings of this new film have been scheduled after its hugely popular premiere run in the Brainwave series earlier in the year. Richard Davidson, one of the world’s leading researchers of the human brain, sets out to discover if and how the brain might be physically altered using only the power of thought. The test cases include a 5-year-old suffering from ADHD and veterans trying to cope with PTSD.
