"Your Brain" Series Extended Interview with Bobby Kasthuri - NOVA | PBS 

Amazing, thanks Dr Kasthuri!

Examples of filtering: I'm reading a page in a book and start thinking of an event I experienced while still reading and suddenly realize I don't know what I read on the page, a driver engrossed in a cell phone conversation suddenly realizes she's driving in the wrong direction, missed an exit, etc., I'm engrossed in thought while watching a movie and suddenly realize I didn't see the movie, I missed the chain of action. Many years ago I was attacked by an attempted rapist, suddenly everything seemed to be happening in VERY SLOW MOTION, I felt very calm and peaceful, and yet at the same time I knew it was not happening in slow motion. While I was experiencing the slow motion I made a decision I had to get up, the man was sitting straddled on my mid section as I lay on the ground. Incredibly I got up against his weight and size. We struggled, he stopped, stared at me and ran away.

After surviving (2) Crainiotomies & a Perodidectomy, I can certainly appreciate this vid a hellva lot more than I would've before the surgeries; Thanks to Uncle Sam for exposing us to polluted H2O @ Lejeune all those yrs ago

Excellent interview! Thanks for uploading Nova!

Bingo! Bobby gets it and truly understands it... his analysis of the brain and the mind is spot on. : )

I’m always amazed by how damage to even a small area of our brain can cause a change in our personality.

This guy is on point, this is good.

The brain 🧠 is truly the final frontier. We understand distant galaxies better than how it works.

Awareness is known by awareness alone.

Just as Socrates declared "know thyself", this brain of mine craves for that understanding. I actually still see a lot of potential left in me even at my age.

The Brain named itself 🥰👍

If youre one of the folks unable to learn anything from this video because of a very common verbal tick like a person saying uh, i feel sorry for you. You probably miss out on listening to so many intelligent and kind people in your life because you lack empathy compassion and patience.

Thank you for posting this intriguing interview!

I tell you what, that's a good looking man there!

The brain is the facilitator and mediator of our lives "..and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.” [B. Cox] Somehow, a brain is bound by the laws of physics, but also seemingly unconstrained to us personally; this just means that there's still so much to learn about our brains physicality, as well as all that engages them. Wonderful presentation, thanx

"But then something magical happens in in the collective action." So true on micro and macro scales in human life.

Thank's 👏

wow he's so cool

this is a cool one, thanks nova

Yes, I've seen this in real life. The brain is in control of everything and can harm and or help and part of the body. Best example is PTSD because, it can't be blamed on something else.

Saw "Your brain"... Assumed it was a three minute video. (At best)

I agree, I could only absorb so much of this vid while im on discord, X, and on Google. Or a convo I had earlier where the dude was lost in his thoughts and asked me to repeat myself. Very interesting how our sensory systems overlap almost blocking nueral signals🤯

Ian Malcolm vibes

The brain 🧠 is like a muscle.

This is the most flatlining comments thread on RU-vid.

Where did all the documentaries go?

Preachin to the choir here. Petit Mals, grand mals, cavernous hemangioma, head injuries, ptsd. I had to shut it off halfway through.

There is no scientific study more vital to man than the study of his own brain. Our entire view of the universe depends on it ~ Francis Crick

I will myself to" Heal from Within"! Nothing is without! Dean(Soul)

He sounds like Jeff Goldblum : )

Gut feeling is brain filtering

How to explain, to my brain, that's just coffee, it shouldn't feel that good?

Just found out about my ms could a car accident increase ms

I think being electrical should be a hint.

okay what year was this interview though

Jeff goldblum looks so different now

Again..I justvwanna rocknrolln all night butvthe nocturnal demonoids stop n d music good vibe wit d negativitivty to d 10X

The mind's connections don't have to be limited to the brain! 😎🤖

😂

all new to me Alzheimer's facility here i8n the skull bone

Ah ah. Ah ah.

One semester of college psychology in 20 minutes. 🥸

Uh Uh Uh Uh uHuhuh..... Why do ppl have to speak like that?? I wanted to watch, but couldn't listen, just because he couldn't be bothered to speak properly..

I uh uh uh, couldn't listen, uh uh uh to more than, uh uh uh, 5 minutes, uh uh uh, due to the speakers, uh uh uh, constant, uh uh uh verbalizations.

A lot of "uhhhs" in here "uh, uh uh" "science" guy.

Can you please stop stuttering? It makes you unlistenable. Smoothen your thought just a bit.

Uh uh uh uh 🙄
