Mental processes in the human brain (taped):

Video of the Royal Society event on 16th-17th of October - 'Mental processes in the human brain', is now available online. I strongly recommend the first talk, by Dan Schacter, which is about the active, constructive, nature of human episodic memory and why it might be built like that (answer: because it is designed to subserve the flexible recombination of past experiences to predict the future)
