1. All of these experts, are admitting they are vulnerable as well.

2. Do not trust, what seeks to obstruct your vision.

3. Sages have known this truth thousands of years ago “the world exists in our mind, an illusion made up by imagination’ it does not exist outside, independently.The problem arises in believing we are our physical body, which inevitably leads to the belief that the physical world exists independently. However our experience everyday, during the state of consciousness called dream, our mind creates a different identity “dream body” that comes with a dream world equally complex and totally believable in that state. We know that dream body and accompanying complex world was created by our mind because we know we have not left the room and wake up in the same bed. We also know that the physical world we see in the so called normal state of consciousness disappears in the dream state and reappears simultaneously when we wake up. If the physical world existed independently of our conscious mind, what is preventing it from appearing in other states of our consciousness?

4. Here's one not so mind boggling. EEGs are outdated. The basic technique of measuring electrical activity has limitations. Some way of taking measurements, not just observations, with a number of independent devices all at the same time, like brainwave, chemical, EEG, MRI, and perhaps others. My own experience with temporal lobe epilepsy has made it more than clear that what's available now, to observe and measure, has very significant limitations.

5. Ok. I can accept the idea of illusion. So, can something happen when something brings back a memory that makes the recollection nearly identical to one of the earliest memories. Thus, when we think our memory of something that happened decades ago seems to be unusually accurate, there may be a good reason other than self-deception. Think of the analogy of small town roads as compared to the highway. We're traveling on our highway. Something catches our attention, and we decide to take the next exit. The thing that made us check out what we thought might be there turns out to be uncannily similar to what we anticipated. Should we have any reason to believe that what just happened is anything more than a coincidence?

6. 22:00 well THAT smashes the EVP crap doesn't it!!! Cuz they ALWAYS start by telling you what you are gonna hear, long after they heard what they WANTED to hear

7. All I heard was green needle even when I read the word brainstorm I heard green needle

8. The first picture of the dress I seen a yellow and black the yellow pixelated picture I seen as blue and black and then when it went back I seen it as blue and black again in the first picture I do work outside all the time but how does that make sense

9. So am I special that I can look dead forward and see what my peripherals perfectly I always see everything I always notice everything I always notice everything it can be annoying sometimes but my peripheral vision is perfectly clear well looking dead forward

10. Thanks

11. So all that we perceive is input from our senses assembled into our picture of perception. Now then, when we dream a exact copy of reality happens complete with a bizarre narrative that we fail to question, or remember the details of self that arises from our "waking" life and then 5 seconds after we are awake the door to the dream memory closes yet every detail is still there. This is the real power of the brain, it creates worlds, people to fill them (with a complete life story and ancestry), and a fully orchestrated script, all without one blip of sensory input….. Nova, hire me and I will really blow your minds!

12. How do owl brains work differently in processing visual information since they can't move their eyeballs?

13. What ever color the threads are that made the dress is reality…. not the trick photography used to fool us. sheesh

14. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

15. This video makes me feel so sick. I cant stand bioligy. Im pretty sure im in hell and everyone else is just a robot

16. I really
    Like nova, love all the comments too. 🙏🏽

17. 15:29
    Bye 😂

18. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) cured my Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) after 38 years of suffering. Go science!!!!

19. Where can I get good, ethical clean psychedelics ?

20. LIES.

21. It’s all inner. It’s all beliefs which creates thought, which create emotion, which create actions. We create from the now, not from the past.

22. This was great

23. Very interesting!

24. As a visual artist and softball player I totally agree with the info presented here. Anyone every hear of Josef Albers? (Color theory.) How can l run to the correct location under a flyball to catch it? (Predictive inference.) Our brains are amazing, but at the same time they fool us all of the time. Every single day. Best bet: NEVER ASSUME.

25. i hear "yellie" at time stamp 23:00

26. I still see that damn dress as black and blue 😂

27. Makes me question why there are people who can only see in black and white

28. There's NO such "thing" as a "mind" like a "rock". This verbalized utterance by humans and only a function of human language is a label for the processing of the 5 senses, with the sole purpose of survival of this human meat popsicle. 😁 namaskaram

29. Most excellent! (long-time NOVA fan, like many other commenters)
    What a great question: "Where do thoughts come from?" Dr. Macknik nailed it. I actually tend to think of my brain as more of a translator that allows the limited body my immense essence is stuck in to comprehend and interact in this physical world. When the old brain is dead, I'll still be around (often wonder what i was like before i showed up here 🤔🙃)
    BTW, had a hard time seeing the dress in gold, and your background change didn't help at all. Only saw gray cars, heard the same sound, & heard neither "yanni" nor "laurel". I think my brain is broken. 🤪 or i'm a ninja and have retrained my brain.
    Now GOTTA go find a NOVA special on synesthesia!!! 🤯 😃

30. that wasn't the dress !!!

31. This shows why witness testimony is not reliable.

32. So basically what Immanuel Kant the philosopher said…

33. Im an artist and color optical illusions don't work on me. I never see the dress as any color other than blue and black.

34. 21:15 🤯🤯🤯

35. Am I the only one who heard "Green Storm?" I was listening while preparing tacos for lunch, so I wasn't looking at the words initially. 🤷🏽‍♂️

36. This is your drugs. This is your drugs on brain. Any questions?

37. It's not Yannny or Laurel. It's Laurie

38. I'm addicted to this content. I read a book with similar content, and I'm absolutely hooked on it. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling

39. These don’t work on me cuz i saw blue & black & hear green needle clearly & can hear both yanny & laurel

40. I think it's hilarious that science is still playing catchup with religion. There is a difference between the heart/soul/mind or whatever you want to call it and your intellect/brain/perception.

41. Your perception is your reality is one of my favorite sayings.

42. the dress stays the same

43. It’s like when you thought that you saw something? Did you?

44. You guys Are literally playing in objects shades and colors to prove a point.
