Is there such a thing as a bad sense of direction?

Michael’s confronting his terrible navigation skills this week, as we discover what determines our sense of direction. We’re finding out how gender plays a role in how you find your way, how technology is impacting us and whether it’s possible to improve your skills - let’s hope so for Michael’s sake! Special thanks to today’s expert Professor Mary Hegarty. If you’d like to suggest a question for the show, get in touch on Twitter or send an email to eureka@stak.london.  @EurekaPod Hosted on Acast.
