- You don’t have any question to ask ?
- Yes.
 Jean-Pol Tassin, researcher in neurosciences, explains his recent discovery to a four years old child. She remembers several words which make us medidate.

The two hemispheres of the brain manage distinct tasks. This was reported more than a century ago by observing patients affected by brain damages. Today, thanks to the Functional MRI or functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, the working of the brain can be finely investigated and analyzed on healthy volunteers. In the laboratory Ci-naps (Center of Imaging - Neurosciences and Applications to Pathologies), many experiments are realized in order to obtain a cartography of the functioning of our brain.

A century ago, science created an animal model which would allow it to explore the mysteries of the human brain. This model is the lab rat. Thanks to this rat, major advances have been made. On the neurosciences front, it is today at the centre of key questions: will it be possible to read into our brains? Will we one day manage to control our fears and emotions? Will we be able to control machines by thought or be controlled ourselves by remote control?
