Japan is seen as an outwardly advanced country brimming with the latest technology but behind closed doors, a silent epidemic known as Hikikomori is threatening to plague its future. The phenomenon is a psychopathological and sociological syndrome in which people, especially younger generations, withdraw from society and hide in their rooms for months to decades at a time. Recent studies estimate anywhere from 500,000 to as many as 2 million people in Japan are Hikikomori. While there is a consensus that this is a problem, there is an uncertainty for how to treat and cure it.
What are the five engineering innovations that made the 747 the game-changer of aviation? What makes a power plant’s giant turbine rotor blades spin at incredible speeds?

Whether it’s Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Stroke or Dementia, cutting edge neuroscience is beginning to change what’s possible when it comes to recovery and prevention. ‘A Life Unbound’ explores brain plasticity strategies and the role they can play in revolutionizing the human experience. Speaking with Dr. Michael Merzenich, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Dr. Martha Herbert and Dr. Rick Hanson we are taken on a journey to understanding the brain by the biggest names in Neuroscience. Following the journey of Tessa David and the Jacobi family, we get a first-hand look at peoples lives who have been drastically altered by these strategies. We learn about how brain plasticity works in both children and adults while opening a conversation on the implications of what integrated brain plasticity strategies can mean for society as a whole.
