Trust your brain. Then watch it get fooled.
Your working day runs on judgement. Reading the data, weighing the risk, making the call. All of it depends on one organ you rarely question.
Bubbels & Brains puts it to the test. And it starts inside the human body.
On 15 August 2016, Sanne Wevers won Olympic gold on a beam ten centimeters wide. Ninety seconds, built on years of training, adjusting, recovering and starting again. She talks about mental resilience: knowing when to push and when to ease off, and how you stay sharp when everything comes down to one moment.
Then Illusionist Victor Mids tests how sharp you really are. In his interactive Mindf*ck quiz, your brain fills in what isn’t there, and you feel certain while it does.
Afterwards: drinks, and time to compare notes with people from across the park. Mainly about who got fooled first.
