British Sign Language magazine series. See Hear takes a journey inside the human mind and runs tests to explore how sign language is processed.
With around 100 billion neurons transmitting and processing information second by second, the brain is possibly the most complex organic form in the universe.
Our brains are pre-programmed when we鈥檙e born but they鈥檙e also shaped by our experiences. Since deaf people鈥檚 experience is different to hearing people鈥檚, does that mean we think differently?
This week we鈥檙e taking a journey into the workings of the deaf brain 鈥� conducting fascinating tests and talking to experts in the field about their latest research.
We find out if BSL is processed in a different way to hearing language. We explore how our brains can be flexible and test whether deaf people have different visual perception, different sensory perception and even an entirely different way of remembering.
And we鈥檒l be asking - is there is such a thing as a deaf brain?
