The prospect of manipulating thought and behavior with machines has captured human imaginations for decades, but recent conceptual and technological advancements in brain sciences are turning science fiction into genuine medical reality for the millions suffering from brain disorders.

ELECTRIC MIND is a filmic journey into the heads and hearts of four people suffering from debilitating brain disorders: Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Epilepsy and Dystonia. As these people, male and female, old and young, undergo groundbreaking treatments involving intervening with the electric activity of their brain. Questions arise about medical ethics, our brain-body and brain-mind interactions and about the essence of our personal identity.
