IBM’s Watson made history on the game show Jeopardy as it skunked it’s human competitors and opened a new venue for the addition of supercomputers to our decision making process in medicine. The intertwining of the brain and the mind are explored as we look at what makes us “tick”. The root causes of addictive behaviors, the effects of traumatic brain injuries, chemical imbalances and more contribute to the mysteries of the brain and the life of the mind. This lesson opens a new chapter for the future role of radiology. 
 
•  The lobes of the brain and the influence they maintain on behaviors
•  Relationships that occur when supercomputers mirror the brain’s actions
•  Components of the addiction process and how the brain controls our actions
•  How our imaging technology is important to the mapping of brain functions
•  The significance of “Watson”
•  Compare the brain and mind differences
