The Neuroscience of Perception 

Straight up, this just blew my FUCKING MIND. The fact that our brains really are just trying to piece together a reality. Then, depending on our beliefs we will actually see reality differently, things that we think are objective might actually be subjective. I always thought our brains were just filling in the cracks but they are drawing by numbers.

Thank you for the shared hallucination

Excellent video. I can't get enough of this topic. I can't believe it's taken me so long to "see" how fascinating it truly is.

:0 this is such a well produced video!!!! I love the animation and super good explanation!!!

I'm glad I came across your channel.

Incredible work

Loved the video, thank you for creating it! Got here through The Atlantic YT chan, looking forward to exploring your other content!

This is the best summary of perception I’ve come across so far. As a minor knitpick I’d suggest that if you were using audio in a deliberate way it was a little too much. For me the audio was particularly jarring, the audio version of a strobe light. If it was some deliberate attempt to strengthen encoding then perhaps adjust the volume down so it isn’t quite so overwhelming. Thank you for a wonderful video though. I will definitely subscribe to this channel.

Awesome video!

Lisa Feldman Barrett said exactly this some years ago

Much much better job explaining it in the video than I would ever dream of being able to. When I try to 'use my words' to explain it, I get that look one gets when someone thinks you're crazy. It all circles back to perception. Wonder if neuroscientist experience a sort of Alice in wonderland effect in their career or just use their 'science' to stay grounded?

Wow this is really well made. Subscribed

A beautiful way to realize one must meditate truly to attain the end of perception even if it’s for a moment.

Great topic, but I won't show it to my studente because the subtitles are not accurate.

0:50 Since different minds may associate other sets of perceptions with the same words, it is unknowable what another person perceives. You can not translate one private language into another one, so if we talk about our perceptions in public language it has nothing to do with our private perceptions. So it is unknowable if we have the same perceptions or not, and because of this it is impossible to refute naive realism by comparing perceptions.

There is a big problem that I have with pop neuroscience of perception. -It wants to replace the objective with the intersubjective ignoring the fact that other people are part of the external world themselves. -If understand of the external world is not possible then consensus is also impossible, how would you know that they agree with you or that other people are not themselves just hallucinations? -I do not posses a privilege access to other people which I do not posses for ordinary objects. It follows that if I don’t have understanding of external objects then I also do not have understanding of external people.

Om shanti k good day please find attached the following ad listing has ended on June

how come in both footprint pictures they both look embossed

The music is really stressful for that amount of time. everything else is great...

Wow .

Great video! Music a bit to loud

🤩🤩

Hello. Could you kindly share the name of the animator for this video?

Im i the only one who doesn't see the horse and women

REMOVE THE MUSIC (NOISE) and the video will be massively improved.

So, you don’t know how the people perceive you. Do you want to know? Or can you figure it out on your own?

that music is so annoying what is that

:) :)

Great video, what terrible noises they added over it. Unnecessary and spoiled the video
