  • Neuroscientist Uri Hasson researches the basis of human communication, and experiments from his lab reveal that even across different languages, our brains show similar activity, or become "aligned," when we hear the same idea or story. This amazing neural mechanism allows us to transmit brain patterns, sharing memories and knowledge. "We can communicate because we have a common code that presents meaning," Hasson says.

    I realized part way through the video that it was hard to understand his language through the thick accent at first, but became easier to understand him later on. Pretty neat.

    what hit me home was the fact that language doesnt matter.. it's the meaning of the message that will sync the brains - incredible!

      @melissaoconnell5648 4 роки тому +1

      Quite literally along with... as in how connective or joining is the message itself in it's very concept, along with linguistics of emphasis, punctuation, outflow, breaks in between and even silence 🙂👍
      There's facial and body language, including the type of sound.... be it language, 'baby' talk, music, or farts 💨
      A deaf person perhaps would tell you it is more than hearing tone alone. It's embedded in feeling the sounds, vibrationally capped or peaked tangent to emotional display 🌊👋

    It's true what he says about meaning across languages... I have conversations in three languages, and sometimes I can recall the content of a conversation but I can't remember what language it was in.

    If it's the meaning of the message that the brain is responding to, I'm curious to know if autistic brains will align the same as everyone else's, or if our brains will do something different (as they tend to do with other things)?

    I participated in this study. I forgot about it until I heard the guy telling the story. It was a stand up comedian type guy talking about how he found out years later, that his old landlord in New York back in the '80's was a murderer. He narrowly avoided having the guy put a hit out on him because he moved out of the building in time. Sometimes this guy's lab does studies where they put two people in the fMRI scanner at one time. I might be wrong, but I think they actually used to fit them into one scanner before they got a second one, in the new building they're in now. I'd like to know how they did that.

    • @Rufusdos
      @Rufusdos 6 років тому

      I think the stories they used all came from the Moth Radio Hour. It would sound how you described. I don't think you can do two people simultaneously in an fMRI tube.

    When the speaker's brain and the listener's brain show similar patterns, is it possible that part of the reason is that the speaker also hears what s/he is saying, thus evoking similar responses in the brain, he didn't make that very clear in the talk. But overall, very interesting study!

      the one he showed did have some of the same trending in the up and downs and the shape of the spikes, I'm not an EEG expert so I can't comment on that, I was just thinking that maybe the speaker being able to listen to herself/himself might play a role, would be interesting to find out!

    When I was trained as a young child to sense faint energies like magnetic north it was to the mantra "burned at the stake alive" to drive in the point that society doesn't appreciate this particular skill set.
    In 1992 shortly after the Rodney King riot walking home from the College Inn Pub with friends I felt "tension so thick you can cut it with a knife" which turned out to be an angry crowd about two blocks away around the corner pulling a "spot inspection" to dissipate the volatile energy from "cop killer" to "Who's this fool?"

    I feel like I missed his point. He just confirmed that stories and conversation are essential tools for human communication. We know this. The fact that this common knowledge has a basis in the brain is neat, but i don't see where he was trying to go with it unless his overarching message is that to better understand others, we need to communicate with them...

    I guess if we just have the normal type of communication before and if i was just enlightened about the whole situation, we wouldn't really have conflicts or issues that much.
    But i also have a fault cuz i assumed some things and there was no one to reply to me that it wasnt true or things like that.
    But its ok. Sometimes its like that. Thats totally fine =)
