In 2015 Cosmic Genome host Robin Ince went along to take part in an experiment on brain activity being conducted at University College London. The UCL team have been monitoring the brain’s activity during improvisation and playing a version of the BBC show ‘Just a Minute’ with a number of people, particularly comedians, to see how their brains work compared to ‘normal’ people. So Robin was placed in an MRI to riff and then chatted with the head of the experiment, Dr Joseph Devlin from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, afterwards. This video is part 1 of 2 of the interview.
