Rezensionen

'We, generally, as people, humans, retain far more information than we're actually aware of on a daily basis. And what this programme does, is actually by a series of sort of randomly opening doors and switching on and off of synapses unlocks all this information that hitherto you probably didn't even know you knew.'
