The Brain Box: John Foxe on Intelligence

Sep 08, 2015, 12:02 PM

John Foxe, professor of neuroscience and pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, redefines the concept of intelligence with Brain Box presenter Dr. Richard Roche, a term which is often associated with the brain, but whose conventional meaning is now no longer useful. Is Lionel Messi as much of a 'genius' as Einstein? This question and more is explored in 'The Brain Box' on Newstalk 106 - 108 fm.
