Talking With Dolphins

This Is Your Brain With Dr. Phil Stieg

Dolphins have large, complex brains that are a lot like the human model -- what if we could get inside their heads and communicate with them?

Turns out our underwater friends have a lot going on in their brains, if only we could learn to decode it.
