Neuroscientist unveils series of mind-boggling challenges for launch of new BBC show

A new BBC game show is to pit families against one another with a series of brain tests designed to assess different types of intelligence - but are you up to passing any of the cognitive challenges? The Family Brain Games, hosted by Dara Ó Briain, will follow eight different families from all walks of life as they come together in a specially designed'games lab' to compete in the ultimate test of intelligence. Questions are designed to go beyond traditional ideas about how to measure brain power, such as individual IQ. They will instead explore other measures including verbal ability, memory ability and even group intelligence. Dr Adam Hampshire, a neuroscientist at Imperial College London, is one of the brains behind the tests.
