Be Informed Documentaries
The first of a two part documentary that explores the work of the world’s leading scientists and explores how the unconscious brain shapes our attention, perception and memory. Over 90 percent of our daily actions are done unconsciously, an “autopilot” in our head. Automatic Brain takes a look at how unconscious processes steer the lives of two ordinary people, from everyday routines to life choices such as finding a partner.
Episode 1: The Magic Of The Unconscious Mind
“The brain decides things before we can consciously think about it,” says Allan Snyder, director of the University of Sydney’s Centre for the Mind. “Decisions are almost dictated to us.” In this program, neuroscientists join Las Vegas magicians to explain—and vividly demonstrate—the interplay of unconscious promptings with conscious thought. Delving into the physiological basis of cognition, Snyder and other experts discuss snap judgments, facial recognition, and love at first sight. The video features segments that allow viewers to test their attentiveness with the shell game and the famous “invisible gorilla” experiment

Someone has to explain what they mean by "WE" as the narrators repeatedly say. As in "Our brain makes decisions for us" and so on. I THOUGHT THAT MY BRAIN IS PART OF ME. My brain, my arms, my conscious mind etc all make me who I am. Collectively.
I hope neuroscience will help me understand more about the idea of god. You know I ate some weed cake twice and they were the most profound moments in my life. I study psychology with a minor in biology, and I'm aiming to do some studies in cognitive science.
If someone would've told me that he will steal my watch and then start with some magic tricks in between I would 90% ignore that magic trick and put my mind on watch, I even knew when he will steal his watch.
I am just going to comment my thoughts. Any comments or thoughts are welcome.
I think that sociopaths, people who called stupid/dumb or they are close to madness are the real people who they need to study.
Intellectuel thinking is not always memorizing.
Music pleays are great role only that it is because you have to see it as a morse code or new languages.
You hear and decode it..
From what i think left is creative right? And hearing comes in your wich brain part?
Btw your brain is like a muscle i think, if people learn voilin or piano there is a big possibility no matter the age , that your brain will enlarge because of more neurons.
Ow..i am curiouse about the people who are born left-handed. And right handed..
I think mostly mad people are left..
Btw im not doing any "putting people in a box" i am myself little …weird..
So that is way im curouis about the comnents that will come.
Thank you.
Anyone can comment.
So what part of "Vegas Illusionist" is supposed to matter? Irrelevant, and not even an accurate example of subconscious filtering.
Decisions are NEVER dictated to us. The gorilla example is bullshit. Concentrating on a false "instruction" doesn't keep a brain from seeing something else. Someone with focus is able to accomplish BOTH the instruction AND the observance of an anomaly. Vividly demonstrate?
You've been hypnotized by sheep. Aussie fail.
'self = (breath, self)' and 'consciousness = (perceptions, consciousness)'
Allan Snyder, put that godamn hat on right.
Optimized probability = predictability (syntropy) — Einstein reality criterion
Reality = probability of one or objective probability
Subjective is dual to objective
The conservation of duality converts the subjective into the objective and optimizes prediction creating expectation maps in the brain. Expectation, prediction or projection (Syntropy) is dual to increasing entropy, the 4th law of thermodynamics. The future is dual to the past, time asymmetry or time duality.
The brain builds expectation or prediction maps, this is well known by neuroscientists. Prediction is used to track targets, teleology. Teleological physics is dual to non-teleological physics. Syntropy is dual to increasing entropy.
Syntropy is the integration, convergence or union of information to form predictions, expectations or priors.
Integration is dual to differentiation (increasing entropy)
Convergence is dual to divergence
Increasing syntropy or optimizing predictions is dual to increasing entropy, the 4th law of thermodynamics!
Reality is being predicted into existence.
Thesis is dual to anti-thesis, the Hegelian dialectic
Great documentary!
The Almighty Creator who created us from ejected semen says that our Brain is just another body part like kidney, liver and other ones. Therefore, our Brain is not able to think and come up with ideas. And thoughts, art, science, music, discoveries and inventions drop on us from outside and reveals into our soul, which is located somewhere inside of our chest. Brain is just a CPU of our body and its job is to communicate with other parts of our body. Brain is not able to process our foods yet, that is the job of our stomach. As you know we have millions of Neurons in our stomach, which process the foods and spread all of those nutrition and proteins throughout our body. That is why we are not able to think with our stomach just because we have some Neurons in there! Our total behavior has to do with our relations with our Creator. If you submit to His rules on earth your happiness is guaranteed, and if you worship your ego then, enjoy different disasters throughout your life. Also the Almighty says that we have 4200 fake, false and manmade religions that is why we are witnessing more disasters on those so called religious people because those illiterate preachers have been raping the heart and soul of the people for just a few $s. Now we have the scientifically proven untouched scripture based on mathematics, the exact science to prove that.
Notr: for me 47:49
The experience of listening to the important informations in this video has been ruined by the loud music played in the background.
there is no such thing as a narrative center called the "mind".
9:30 Thalamus
7:50
I was able to immediately notice that my card was different .
Anyone else ?
5:30
the people in the experiment just don't give a shit who is asking the question. they notice.
How many stupid, and flashy squiggly lines do we need to see, ignorant!
do it with pizza . better results
43.00 Brienne of Tarth is crazy
PS. This is no hate, you're cute
awesome doc!
where is part 2. great program
🙂
