The reading brain
A fascinating discussion on the development of the 'reading brain': how the development of reading has brought radical changes to the functioning of the brain, and what might happen to our brains as reading gives way to digital and visual culture.
This interview was first broadcast on Late Night Live on 2 April 2008.
