As a person that had to spend many hours producing documentation... Affect is cause to change, Effect is result of an action. So you can affect an effect but not effect an affect... that's meant to be funny and make other peoples brains confused.
Coming from a latin based language, this is baffling to me... Unreal how many can't distinguish a verb from a noun... Huge fan here Neill! We met in Cleveland
A bit of both , I would like to see film of brain activity when asleep / unconscious .rem and non rem. It is the secret to the consciousness we perceive. Cogito ergo sum. An evolutionary eureka moment for the pfc.
These two have to be the only two who would invite a neuroscientist on the show and then mess with her mind. Love Heather and her ability to hang with these two. Thank you for a great evening of education and entertainment.
In the episode you were talking about best mental health movies, and many don't realize that Gattaca is a prophetic allegory for the plight of Autistics.
Great subject matter. I study 'the willing suspension of disbelief' and the 'brain-reality-vs-non-reality' 'construct,' fascinating what the brain can do, or not do, in certain cases. Great discussion, thanks to all.
Every episode with the neuroscientist… has been incredible. Don’t remember her name and she is gorgeous… but the content of the episode has connected with me on a deep level. More so than any other episode
Now that was a terrific episode! Thanks Neil, Chuck & Heather for a very informative discussion about the inner workings of the human brain! Way back when, one of my favorite subjects in school was Neuroanatomy! 👍👍😉😉
Heather Berlin, what do you think about companies like Neuralink? Do you think they are progressing the science, or causing harm with negative media and perceptions? This episode, as always, was fantastic! Thank you for such consistent quality, educational, and entertaining content.
4:30 Flowers for Algernon was a great allegory for a multitude of mental disorders that are slowly degenerative like Alzheimer's. It really makes the reader feel for the protagonist as he knows his mind is going. Another movie that gripped me on this level was The Caine Mutiny, specifically the moment of lucidity on the witness stand where Captain Queeg realizes that he's lost his mind, and everything he was and took pride in being was gone forever. The look on Humphrey Bogart's face was heart wrenching.
The only time commercials affect me is when I'm already shopping for that item, or similar item. For example, I might see a Pizza Hut commercial when I'm hungry, decide I want a pizza, and then get a Red Baron's at the grocery store. But, I'm not hungry, I'm not even paying attention to what the ad is talking about.
Thank you very much for spreading Cosmic curiousity among people. I have a question can there be limitations for the human mind understanding the universe ? whether we really perceive the reality or does it get filtered by our senses and feelings. for example we can see lets say 1 meter length that's one kind of perception but we can do it just by moving our hands accross that length that's another perception of that length. Length as a physical quantity exists for sure but perception of it changes..
Although it’s a matter of faith one way or the other, I would say this: being adept at tool building on a societal level, the humans mind can understand far more than its senses can perceive. It’s only a matter of how much each of us are willing to share what we’ve understood with the tools at our disposal.
Our perception of "reality" is limited / abbreviated by our senses. A moth does not perceive the world as we do. Neither is the "true" reality, reality on the atomic level is a world where one object is indistinguishable from another. There are no sharp edges, only a sea of the overlapping vibrational energies of the sub/particles. Those little green men they used to keep down at area 51 (area 51 isn't there anymore the real/old area 51 was move to a 500 square mile base in Australia) notice there little skinny limbs and there huge heads. That's because they do most of there "work" using their minds not their muscles. Humans have a longs wau to go yet, if they ever get over their "King of the Hill" mentality. Hows that incorperatin alien DNA in to humans thing working out?
52:00 - Hmm. I have to disagree. When my depression is really hitting me hard, the last thing I want is a story about people who are also feeling bad, or even worse! I have enough troubles, I don't need to borrow more, you know? I want something that will pull me out of that state of mind and remind me why the world is still a place worth living in, and that as bad as the present may look, the future is more likely than not to be better. Great episode as always.
The show Legion on Hulu based on the marvel character Legion was good. It's about dealing with mental issues whilst being a powerful mutant. The new show on Disney+ Moon Knight is looking good too, with the main character having multiple personality disorder.
Great episode. Always amazing with Heather. Is it weird that she both impresses me with her wonderful knowledge and scares me a bit. 😂 Love the show, i both watch it and listen on Podcast
Fun fact for Neil! Your old dog couldn't see the TV the way we do because old TV's had a refresh rate that wasn't compatible with their vision. New TV's have a much higher refresh rate which allows dogs to see things being displayed as we do.
I empathize rationally, leaving me to appear as not empathetic because my face is showing my mind assessing the information and preparing myself for a similar situation while assessing experiences to understand how they feel. Heather, are you able to prove a logical empathetic response, and would that have value to society?
Interesting to learn how Alfred Hitchcock had the largest amount of people whose brains sort of synchronized in response to the stimulus he provided. This has made me recognize to a greater degree my own reactions. War scenes back in the late 90's - early 2000's, Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, where it would get very still and the breathing and a little shaky camera work would convey a moment of peace in like a change of consciousness that the soldier was going through during battle in between a barrage of explosions and bullets. Also, baseball, at times I could feel myself taking a cut when a hitter took a hard hack at the ball. Not so much the graceful hitters but the guys that would swing for the fences with muscle and in a little more force than flow. Like Jason Giambi I could feel myself swing kind of as opposed to Manny Ramirez. I guess it was the combination of waiting on the pitcher followed a hard hack that generated it?
i demand a second part of this, there are so many cuestions i´ll like to do. De biggest, what is the brain process when an actor got influence by playing a role considering that a lot of actors experience stock in character phenomena ,in worst cases, squizoprenia, like Shelley Duvall. Also, What happens to the brain when they measure a mental image product of allegorys, references of myths, or symbols whatching films, like,. or, What is the difference between the brain experience comparing the sound register as a fisical experience in the body. What is the measure in te brain identifiyg not real world versus fiction but, memory versus fiction, maybe in the case of biographical or historical movies. I just need a hole series of this topic please.
I'm surprised the subject of beloved animated films wasnt discussed, considering artificial characters are able to invoke powerful emotions in both children and adults despite the fact these characters aren't "real". Great episode though!
A sci fi film I used to be a fan of was ALTERED STATES. It was William Hurt's debut in the early 80s. I'd love to know what Neil thought of that one. Particularly the movie's communal focus on rogue research scientists.
Really enlightened. So VR after a point is just a movie once you suspend disbelief. However, the motor system works when you watch a movie. Like you can eat popcorn. But in VR I tried the Plank Walk at the mall and was unable to move my feet.
I've got a screenplay in the competition for the Austin film Festival this year based on your conversations in great part with Stephen Hawking and other astrophysicists on StarTalk. It happens in Ancient Greece, obviously.
Fatal Attraction I believe took after the movie Play Misty For Me with Clint Eastwood as a disc jocky, Misty was a song a lady would call in to Eastwood's station to ask him to play.
There was a Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode where the main engineer, Chief Obrien violated the laws of a planet ( we don't see what he did) and gets sentenced to 20 years if I'm not mistaken. He does his 20 years living like an animal. At first he fights it thinking his fellow crew mates will help, as time goes by his spirit breaks. Turns out at the end of the episode we find out that it was a simulation. He was in it for a couple of mins. but to him it was 20 years. Mind blowing ep and sad to see how it changed him.
I forget at what time stamp but maybe somewhere in the middle of y’all’s great chat, I had a thought of Stephen Hawking’s SciFi Masters Of Science Fiction (2007) episode, A Clean Escape w/Sam Waterston (plays a POTUS living in an underground bunker with extreme amnesia, after having annihilated everyone else above ground, having caused a nuclear catastrophe! At the 47:00 point, the 2011 movie, Source Code w/Jake Gyllenhaal would’ve been a great mention.. I was also waiting for a mention of movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind from 2004 w/Jim Carrey, Stranger Then Fiction w/Will Farrell, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988), A Scanner Darkly, Surrogates &, Being John Malkovich…. Oh dang, another great mention would’ve had to include, Identity w/John Cusack! Films causing Hippocampus overload 🤯 here
For the record, I have been the apparent cause of seemingly telekinetic phenomenon on multiple occasions. Never on purpose, rather the result of emotionally traumatic moments. The mind works in strange ways we have yet to even scratch the surface of. Also, Chuck, the reason there's so damn many stories about eating children is because that's pretty much the most horrific way to die, to be eaten alive, so parents used that in their stories to put the fear of the unknown into them for their own survival. Cannibalism has always been one of our greatest fears as a species.
A little question I have, especially with the whole reading brain activation to get the image a person is seeing, are there any studies done with people that have aphantasia or those with lesser mental imagery abilities in general, and if so, what is the relation between the control group and the group with aphantasia?
"This is your brain on drugs" is definitely the late 1980s, maybe still aired in the early 90s, but already being parodied in shows like In Living Color and SNL.
45:00 yoo I went through that. I grew up in the hood. Now I'm some where where I'm always afraid cause it's peaceful and beautiful. And I can't figure out why. I go to sleep listening to white noise
Yeah fascinating topic. Neurosciences will keep expanding and open ways into other new science fields and i think we'll evolve into a field that can connect it with certain psychology fields. Our brain can get used to pretty much anything as with learning trough repeat and practice. And i wouldn't rule out stuff like telepathy, just yet. Maybe it has a slight different approach then were used to from certain fandoms. :) Would game development also fit the category of neurosciences? Game development is often so amazing for the kind of creative processes a production team has to go trough. And the incredible content you can see as end result in a game. The goal is to create that immersive environment that enables an end user to just live trough the game they are playing. And whenever i see a walktrough from someone i often just get amazed by the creativity that is put in.
About dogs not interested in movies: i was watching a nature documentary about monkeys and the dog watched it from start to finish and was invested in everything that was happening in the movie. when a monkey stole another monkey's baby, i saw her on edge and stressed out also about ai-isn't consciousness also comparable to code? all it is, is chemical processes going on inside your brain. and that your brain then interprets
at 13:41 (un-typo the time) that comment about TV and Dogs reminds me that I once heard that Dogs would not react to old TV (Standard Def) because they could not see the "motion properly" (something to do with frame/per/seconds) but that when HD Tv signals started it was in their "viewing range" and NOW they see the image. True? False? Discuss?... ;-) ;-) (I'm off to try confirm this) ;-) ;-)
Based on the reason stated, complete BS. Video, be it on television or flatscreen has been presented at 24 and 30 frames per second for a very long time. The PAL and NTSC standards denote the two variations we use (24 and 30). It wasn't until very recently, within the last few years that we have been able to double those numbers at 48 and 60FPS respectively. You would have to go back really far in time (figuratively) to find a TV that output at less than those frequencies. However there is difference in how they "project" the picture onto the screen. A CRT TV scans from left to right and top to bottom lines on the screen. An interlaced (which could also be CRT) might do half of those lines one frame and the other half the next frame. Flatscreens vary depending on standard but they still follow the same pattern of synchronize on horizontal lines (hsync) and then syncronize those lines to vertical columns (vsync). The Slowmo Guys here on youtube did a very good episode on this using a modern absurdly slow motion camera to show the scan patterns on a few different types of displays. What they covered however is just a common set of samples from a large variety of techniques.
I did some experiments with manifestation 31:00 and I visualized some routine tasks. When I actually went to do those tasks, like work out, my body and mind reacted like it was harder and harder every day. Like playing a movie on top of a movie and so on. It was tough to release it. Don't do that...
33:00 Funny enough I couldn't watch shows with costumes when I was young, but cartoons were fine. It was when I recognized that it was actually people inside them, that I got better at suspending disbelief. I had to understand what disbelief I was suspending before it was useful to me. Cartoons didn't create that level of dissonance...
Homeless people are doing worse than me, that makes me depressed. I learn about the Netherlands, and other European countries, and that makes me depressed. If both directions are depressing to think about...maybe...just maybe, that means _WE AS A COUNTRY,_ are doing something wrong. Just maybe...
Requiem of a Dream is an intense movie. The first time I watched it I was in college, and I got passed a blunt and I puff puff passed but didn't know that it was laced with a hallucinagen, and I had the worst trip watching that movie tripping for the first time. I had night terrors about that movie for over a year and to this day I cannot watch it
Honestly though, please somebody reach out to me. I remember my dreams every single night. Last night I remembered more than 4 different dreams and very specifically (maybe 5th wasn’t too specific). I’ve always loved dreaming and have repeated all day long “I’m dreaming and I can do anything” for over 20 years, so that when I’m actually dreaming and recreating daily activities, I can control it. And yes, I’ve got to that point. And I’ve always been interested in being a test subject… but I live somewhere that other people will probably get selected over me (but are probably good scammers).
Imagine a 14yo with extreme PTSD fighting back against their parent is finally restrained until they realize it was not their abuser or bio parent. My wife and I got a few bruises from our foster child.
Perhaps people associate some forms of super-intelligence as being interconnected with the rest of the physical universe in a more wholesome/direct way. So the energy field and ways of articulating and manipulating energy is no longer personal or bound inside the brain, but boundless and better connected to the physical reality. For example the concept of Jedi meditation, is a form of acknowledging the grand interconnectedness of the energy they embody. While they exist as individual people,they believe in an interconnected boundless consciousness which takes the form of the universe, and are trying to essentially tap into that with what appears as "brain power" but could actually be better understood as "Brain compatibility". Comparability in the sense that the underlying energy field and energy wave Constants which can be navigated through under certain oscillations have variable levels of resistance and through meditation to manipulate brain wave consciousness, they oscillate at a better path of resistance towards and within this interconnected field to reach and manipulate something that appears separate. These are neat and fascinating ideas to play with, but have no actual scientific backing for yet. They are based on generalized scientific principles which tease our brains about the universality of energy and what role consciousness plays in it. Makes perfect sense for sci-fi movies. I like it because it inspires us to think of practical ways to use it.

Yay Heather Berlin! one of my favorites!!!
honestly
My very favourite Heather Berlin!….whenever she is on the StarTalk…..I definitely watch it!
🥵
Well yeah! She's hot....& smart! Perfect combo!
These two have to be the only two who would invite a neuroscientist on the show and then mess with her mind. Love Heather and her ability to hang with these two. Thank you for a great evening of education and entertainment.
Heather is a delight. She has great insight. I hope she has published often.
It is healthy to laugh with science and unhealthy to laugh at sciience. This was a great Star Talk, it has been a while since I've laughed this much.
Glad we could facilitate some laughter!
In the episode you were talking about best mental health movies, and many don't realize that Gattaca is a prophetic allegory for the plight of Autistics.

Thank you for someone without an agenda! Please more of these!
"without an agenda" actually means "thanks for presenting something that I don't disagree with"
Always a great experience to listen to you guys. Learn and think.
thank you.

there are limitations. a simple example would be to try to imagine a color you've never seen before

The simple answer is that you have a bias towards the dog due to your emotional connection with it.
@@Therealw1 I considered that. but it doesn't change the objective fact that she watched the entire movie
Dogs can see plasma and l e d TV screens just fine way faster refresh rate
Scary, cool, amazing, innovative, scary
"Pi" an underrated Math Movie Masterpiece
at 13:41 (un-typo the time) that comment about TV and Dogs reminds me that I once heard that Dogs would not react to old TV (Standard Def) because they could not see the "motion properly" (something to do with frame/per/seconds) but that when HD Tv signals started it was in their "viewing range" and NOW they see the image. True? False? Discuss?... ;-) ;-) (I'm off to try confirm this) ;-) ;-)
Based on the reason stated, complete BS. Video, be it on television or flatscreen has been presented at 24 and 30 frames per second for a very long time. The PAL and NTSC standards denote the two variations we use (24 and 30). It wasn't until very recently, within the last few years that we have been able to double those numbers at 48 and 60FPS respectively. You would have to go back really far in time (figuratively) to find a TV that output at less than those frequencies.
However there is difference in how they "project" the picture onto the screen. A CRT TV scans from left to right and top to bottom lines on the screen. An interlaced (which could also be CRT) might do half of those lines one frame and the other half the next frame. Flatscreens vary depending on standard but they still follow the same pattern of synchronize on horizontal lines (hsync) and then syncronize those lines to vertical columns (vsync).
The Slowmo Guys here on youtube did a very good episode on this using a modern absurdly slow motion camera to show the scan patterns on a few different types of displays. What they covered however is just a common set of samples from a large variety of techniques.
She has such an abundance of patience.
I did some experiments with manifestation 31:00 and I visualized some routine tasks. When I actually went to do those tasks, like work out, my body and mind reacted like it was harder and harder every day. Like playing a movie on top of a movie and so on. It was tough to release it. Don't do that...
The movie A Clockwork Orange comes to mind about movies causing ultra violence in people.
“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” violated my brain.
True. Like the monsters in the brain become bunnies 🤣

Nice
33:00 Funny enough I couldn't watch shows with costumes when I was young, but cartoons were fine. It was when I recognized that it was actually people inside them, that I got better at suspending disbelief. I had to understand what disbelief I was suspending before it was useful to me. Cartoons didn't create that level of dissonance...
Homeless people are doing worse than me, that makes me depressed. I learn about the Netherlands, and other European countries, and that makes me depressed.
If both directions are depressing to think about...maybe...just maybe, that means _WE AS A COUNTRY,_ are doing something wrong. Just maybe...
33:40 I KNEW THAT WAS COMING LOL
Requiem of a Dream is an intense movie. The first time I watched it I was in college, and I got passed a blunt and I puff puff passed but didn't know that it was laced with a hallucinagen, and I had the worst trip watching that movie tripping for the first time. I had night terrors about that movie for over a year and to this day I cannot watch it
Honestly though, please somebody reach out to me. I remember my dreams every single night. Last night I remembered more than 4 different dreams and very specifically (maybe 5th wasn’t too specific). I’ve always loved dreaming and have repeated all day long “I’m dreaming and I can do anything” for over 20 years, so that when I’m actually dreaming and recreating daily activities, I can control it. And yes, I’ve got to that point. And I’ve always been interested in being a test subject… but I live somewhere that other people will probably get selected over me (but are probably good scammers).
Imagine a 14yo with extreme PTSD fighting back against their parent is finally restrained until they realize it was not their abuser or bio parent. My wife and I got a few bruises from our foster child.
Hope they're getting appropriate treatment
Perhaps people associate some forms of super-intelligence as being interconnected with the rest of the physical universe in a more wholesome/direct way. So the energy field and ways of articulating and manipulating energy is no longer personal or bound inside the brain, but boundless and better connected to the physical reality. For example the concept of Jedi meditation, is a form of acknowledging the grand interconnectedness of the energy they embody. While they exist as individual people,they believe in an interconnected boundless consciousness which takes the form of the universe, and are trying to essentially tap into that with what appears as "brain power" but could actually be better understood as "Brain compatibility". Comparability in the sense that the underlying energy field and energy wave Constants which can be navigated through under certain oscillations have variable levels of resistance and through meditation to manipulate brain wave consciousness, they oscillate at a better path of resistance towards and within this interconnected field to reach and manipulate something that appears separate. These are neat and fascinating ideas to play with, but have no actual scientific backing for yet. They are based on generalized scientific principles which tease our brains about the universality of energy and what role consciousness plays in it. Makes perfect sense for sci-fi movies. I like it because it inspires us to think of practical ways to use it.
Can someone please list the movies they mentioned? I'm too lazy to go back and check lol
Me screaming at my phone: A MODEST PROPOSAL
We've had "Robot Pets" for decades that people get emotionally attached to. Remember Tamagotchi, Digimon, Pokémon??? lol
Is "Being John Malkovich" included?
I can't... too funny! Thank you!
