The Love Competition

Brent Hoff VS 2012 15 min.

This exceptional love competition at the MRI lab of Stanford University is not about winning or breaking hearts. Seven competitors – from a ten-year old boy to a happily married couple – are given five minutes to think about and discuss love and their loved ones. Whoever generates the most neurochemical activity on the scanner, wins. An unusual but very successful combination of a short documentary and a scientific study.
