Dr. Michael Merzenich

The Brain Fitness Program
Friday, May 9 at 9 p.m.

This program presents a workout to help viewers get their brains in better shape. The Brain Fitness Program is based on neuro-plasticity, the ability of the brain to change and adapt — even rewire itself. In the past two years, a team of scientists has developed computer-based stimulus sets that drive beneficial chemical, physical and functional changes in the brain. Dr. Michael Merzenich of the University of California San Francisco and his colleagues around the world have been leading this effort; he brings the research findings, along with a scientifically based set of brain exercises, to PBS viewers in this innovative and life-altering program.


Celtic Woman- A New Journey
Saturday, May 10 at 6 p.m.

This performance special, recorded at historic Slane Castle, features the talented original Celtic Woman members — singers Chloe, Lisa, Meav and Orla and violinist Mairead — joined by New Zealand-born singer Hayley Westenra, whose forebears hailed from County Monaghan. The songs are a blend of classics, contemporary hits and original material arranged by David Downes.


America at a Crossroads “Stand Up: Muslim American Comics Come of Age”
Sunday, May 11 at 10 p.m.

The latest installment in the AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS series explores the emergence of Muslim- and Arab-American comedians in the wake of 9/11, demonstrating how they use humor to take on stereotypes about Middle Easterners and terrorism.  The film showcases five performers, their comedy and the way it is shaped by the everyday tribulations of their lives.  Some of the comics are Arab, some are Muslim and some are both.  All are Americans.

 

Sandwiches That You Will Like
Thursday, May 15 at 10 p.m.
