While the stereotype of the Afghan Taliban is that they lack sophistication, that certainly isn鈥檛 true for their online presence, which is geared to influence across many languages within Afghanistan and around the world. Adam Rutland co-founder of the Centre for Information Resilience looks at the effectiveness of their campaign and how they have learnt from both ISIS and Hamas.

We also look at computer guided initiatives for understanding the working of the human brain. Alex Frangi and Ali Sarrami Foroushani from Leeds University have a model which can be used to do research which would be dangerous in real people.

The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Ghislaine Boddington
