When Jonah Lehrer was in town to talk about his latest book, "How We Decide", Calacademy snagged the opportunity to interview him for "Science in Action".

He took the Visualization Studio through a tour of the brain as we make decisions whether in the cereal aisle or piloting a plane. Then the artists went to work, creating the brain visuals.
