There seems to be a lot of people interested in neurology, consciousness, etc. on this forum, so I thought this might be interesting to some. The show is basically just a roundtable discussion by experts about the brain. It's aimed at explaining how the brain works to ordinary people, so it's not too hard to understand. I haven't watched the whole thing (yet) but I like it so far.

They had a show on Sight and Visual Perception, one on The Social Brain and other topics. The upcoming one is about "how we seek pleasure and how addictive drugs co-opt the pleasure system for their own purposes. "

For people who are learning English, there's also a transcript of the whole show which might be of use.
