Can the study of science and thinking about the scientific method help us to take control of our personal lives? Through his study in neuroscience Stefano has recently been investigating computational modelling to replicate motor output with a long term view of doing a PhD in this area. All of this thinking about inputs and outputs changed the way Stefano sees the world. In his spare time Stefano volunteers in the local community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
