National Geographic Abu Dhabi is set to premiere 10 new episodes of Brain Games  season three, with more challenges and experiments from October 20.

Host Jason Silva will take audiences on an entertaining and revealing journey of discovery with interactive games and experiments into languages, superstition, addictions and stress, said a statement.

Silva will team up with some of the world’s foremost neuroscientists to find out what makes a person tick as episodes explore the everyday things we do to a whole new depth; learn why we are addicted to the smartphone, what makes one angry, and why some habits are harder to break than others, it said.

The Brain Games promises to be more mind-bending, jaw-dropping and illusion-shattering than the critically acclaimed earlier seasons, for an unmissable viewing experience, it added.

Sanjay Raina, general manager, National Geographic Abu Dhabi, said: “Brain Games is more than merely entertaining – it’s an educational excursion that provides our viewers with a more in-depth understanding of themselves and the world around them.

“This epitomises the National Geographic mantra; we aim to bring content to the region that expands mental boundaries and imparts a more knowledgeable perception of the world we live in.

“This series in particular has proven especially popular with our regional audience, with episodes receiving tens of thousands of views on our YouTube channel, and many positive comments across our other social media channels. We’ve been listening to our viewers’ request for more from this series, and are happy to oblige.” - TradeArabia News Service
