Psychologist and TV host Nigel Latta joined Mike Hosking to talk about his new series The Curious Mind which looks at the human brain.

Part of the series covers Baby X, who is virtual human that can see, hear and interact with people.

Nigel Latta says she's not animated and is think and processing like a human.

"She has a brain and neural networks [...] she sees and listens and hears and responds to things."

He says Baby X can help make people more comfortable interacting with machines.

Latta also busted the myth that people only use a small percentage of our brains.

"We use all of our brain [...] but what we do know is there are things that can make you smarter."

"The more you understand about your brain and what it's capable of and what it can do, the more you will see that the limits you think you have are not quite the same."

Nigel Latta also spoke about how to best deal with stress.

"Mindfulness is the single most powerful thing you can do to deal with stress and anxiety and depression."

"The impact on children in schools is astounding. 75 percent of kids who did a mindfulness exercise improved their test score after the exercise."

The Curious Mind launches August 26.
