In his TEDx Talk, Federico shows us with fun tests how our brain can often be fooled into getting lost... in a glass of water! Federico Baglioni is a biotechnologist with a passion for scientific dissemination. After graduating with a master's degree in Molecular Biotechnology and Bioinformatics from the University of Milan (2013), he attended a Master's in Scientific Journalism at La Sapienza in Rome (2014). He writes for newspapers such as Wired, Today and OggiScienza, was part of the RAI Nautilus program and does scientific dissemination activities in schools, universities, museums and through the cultural movement Italia Unita Per La Scienza, of which he is the founder. He likes to get involved, to delve into topics without leaving out points of view different from his own, which over time have made him grow and become, he hopes, a slightly wiser person. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
