Review: “Is being in love just a chemical reaction? Is technology harming our brains? Is it OK to enhance brain function with cognitive enhancers or ‘smart drugs’? These are just some of the areas of debate presented in our free app, which explores social and ethical questions about the human brain. The app is designed to be interactive; students can vote, and share their view with peers. There is also an area for teachers, which gives suggestions for how it can be used in the classroom.”

Reviewer: ‘Mindful Magazine, Foundation for a Mindful Society, Canada
Review: “Is boosting brain function with cognitive enhancers or ‘smart drugs’ a good idea? If you haven’t formed an opinion yet, this app will help you decide. Crafted by the Wellcome Trust, the well-known publisher of a semi-annual resource for teachers, ‘Big Picture’ gives you the evidence cited in major debates about the brain, then asks you to weigh in. In the case of smart drugs, the app supplies an argument for and against, and includes a description of cognitive enhancers, such as Ritalin and caffeine. You can cast your vote, and check poll results to see what others think. It could take small talk at your next party to a whole new level.”
