After volunteering for a brain-imaging experiment meant to locate the part of the brain that lights up when you're in love, Robert emerges with more questions than answers. 'The Brain Show is a delight' (Daily Telegraph). **** (Guardian). 'Newman combines proper scientific argument with dazzling shafts of wit' (Times). 'During the show Newman wears a large flashing helmet to demonstrate his brain activity during a study of guilt... hilarious... Delightfully eccentric' (Nature). 'He is one amazing comedian' (Time Out).
