Brain Surgery Live captures the drama of a modern-day medical marvel: awake deep-brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Hosted by Bryant Gumbel, this first-of-its-kind event blends live coverage from the operating room at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Ohio with segments that chronicle what science and medicine have historically taught us about the brain, along with what is yet to be discovered. Join us for a remarkable program examining our most complex machine, the human brain.
Contestants who possess a distinct, nearly super-human ability in fields such as memory, hearing, taste, touch, smell, sight, and more are challenged to push their extraordinary skills to win a $50,000 grand prize.
