00:05 The Investigation of Consciousness
Our minds are constantly taking in new external information while also creating their own internal imagery and narratives. How do we distinguish reality from fantasy? This year, researchers discovered that the brain has a “reality threshold” against which it constantly evaluates processed signals.

04:30 Microbiomes Evolve With Us
This year, scientists provided clear evidence that the organisms in our microbiome -the collection of bacteria and other cells that live in our guts and elsewhere on our body - spread between people, especially those with whom we spend the most time. This raises the intriguing possibility that some illnesses that aren’t usually considered communicable might be.

08:43 How Life Keeps Time
The rate at which an embryo develops and the timing of when its tissues mature vary dramatically between species. What controls the ticking of this developmental clock that determines an animal’s final form? This year, a series of careful experiments suggest that mitochondria may very well serve dual roles as both the timekeeper and power source for complex cells.

Very curious to see where that first one goes with hallucinations. I wonder if they're lookling at sleep at all (probably hard to do) since we seem to believe all our silly hallucinations then. In sleep paralysis especially it's interesting to me the things I'll believe I'm really seeing. Different types of drug trips too... be lovely if they were able to look at the variety along witth disease. Suppose the change over time of day too... I am much more likely to hallucinate when I get tired assuming nothing else is at play.

@20ZZ20 4 місяці тому

for sleeping, only part of your brain is conscious and most bits to do with reasoning are unconscious so you don't tend to question things. and if you do, you tend to wake up or wake into a lucid dream. however even in a lucid dream where you are aware you are dreaming... most people can't read a book or tell the time because those specific parts of the brain aren't turned on.

@kayleighgroenendal8473 4 місяці тому

All the times I ever had sleep paralysis, I knew I was having it AS it was happening cuz I knew what it was beforehand from studying and learning about the brain. Same thing with DMT, I thought I was taking a rip off a weed pen but it was DMT 🤣 but I used to spend hours reading the Erowid vaults website learning about each drug and the affects, so when that trip hit me, I was SO excited that my first DMT trip was also a complete surprise like it was my birthday 😂 it wasn't my birthday tho, I was just in a stranger's tent at Electric Forest Festival in Michigan 😂

@cynical-4649 4 місяці тому

Im usually not phased by my dreams and it doesnt elicit much of an emotional response when i do dream. Like ill wake up and reflect for a moment how unique the dream was (movie-like). But during the dream i dont experience strong emotional responses. I used to as a child and teen as a result of an irrational fear instilled into my mind about demons. Once i came to the realization its not plausible, i stopped having nightmares. That was until recently, where two specific dreams manifested from some subjects id watched in the day. One being serious abuse occurring in the army for females who are murdered and then its claimed to be suicide. Ended up dreaming a male spiked my water and while i was laying in my bed i heard him walk in and stand behind me but i was paralyzed and unable to move or open my eyes. I realized what he had spiked me with was going to kill me and he was going to do not so good things while my life ebbed away and i could do absolutely nothing. I wanted to scream for help, for anything, but i was entirely paralyzed. Another dream just yesterday i was driving in my car to my job and i got into the parking lot lane to find a parking space and a person walked past the front of my car and as he moved past he pulled out a gun, aimed it at the glass in the front of my car directly pointed at my head from a distance and shot me in the head. I woke up with my heart racing because it felt so incredibly real. This dream happened i figure because my sister told me about a guy with road rage showing off his gun from his window (ghetto area). I mean for YEARS i didn’t experience serious responses to dreams until recently those two. It’s kind of weird how now of all times for some odd reason a few dreams have managed to be surreal after so long of being detached from it.

@josephdahdouh2725 3 місяці тому

@@cynical-4649 This feels like triggered by some trauma of sorts. I face emotional dreams all the time. I believe that these dreams are just warnings your brain reminds you of so that you remain cautious. If someone can kill and then hide it as suicide; then, what prevents them from killing you and covering it up as a suicide too? That is what your brain is probably concerned about. I also had an irrational fear of demons. I still believe they exist, but I doubt they want anything to do with me. I am a mix of very emotional and stone-hearted-->My dreams half the time tend to be emotional and hyper-realistic-->They are typically about someone from a family ending in a tragedy of sorts and while dreaming I would be crying and panicking-->Although, it is sometimes annoying for some reason my concern over their well being and longevity sometimes enables me to enjoy the crying times because it makes me appreciate them more when I live with them/talk to them/reminds me to spend time with them... I think if you want to understand why... All you have to do is find a great psychologist and ask them to interpret your dreams while providing them with your context. If I as a non-psychology student could interpret your dreams and mine well, I bet an experienced dream psychoanalyst would do it better if they truly care about their patient's wishes

For the first one. It seems like it's not just a matter of the Vividness of the imagination that leads one to think that one is dealing with something real, but also the odds that what one sees could be real or imagined. If one starts to see a green goblin out of nowhere, something in us will assume hallucination not reality regardless of how vivid the green goblin may to be. When something totally real but utterly absurd happens our instincts are to pinch an arm just to ensure one is not dreaming... Am I mistaken?

@JAzzWoods-ik4vv 4 місяці тому

This particular test wouldn't work with people with aphantasia, but fundamentally it's a completely different thing. This talks about "once the brain generates something, how can it tell if it's real?", but it says nothing about the actual process that allows the brain to "make things". In the case of aphantasia, they cant make *images* in their mind, but, for example, they can tell their inner monologue is not a voice coming from outside, so the process of reality treshold very much does exist in people with aphantasia, its just that not as many processes use it

@monkerud2108 4 місяці тому

You know that thing when you look at a bright light and you get a sort of dot or blurred line in your visual field that often looks colored or dimmed, that effect has absolutely nothing to do woth anything in your eyes, and if you train yourself you can make those effects apear, disappear and change even when you didn't look at a bright light, this is because it is essentially a lagging adjustment your visual cortex makes to male you see contrasts better it is hard to do if you cant produce images by visualisation already, but it can be done, one way to see it vividly, is to use a decently strong led lamp and look straight ahead while you drag it across your visual field, while not following the light with your eyes. This produces a very easy to see light spaghetti, in a dark room you can see it very easily, and it is not that hard to train yourself to make it entierly disappear and come back at will. This effect is not about visualisation in some more obtuse way, it is really like seeing it, and it is pretty much the same effect. When you have learned to do this it can also be done without the might but it is more difficult, but with practice you can see and imagine images in full detail as well after a while, but the more detailed the more like dreaming and the less like seeing it becomes, i suspect that this is not necessarily about different parts of the visual cortex being used, more so that when you start seeing more detail the input from your eyes become more and more ignored and so the sensation of seeing actually feels different as well.

@jeremyjohns2471 4 місяці тому

I would argue that the setup was so 'fine' that it was 50/50 that a subject would report "seeing" an image on a screen vs not seeing the image; even if NOT told to imagine anything at all. What I would suggest is to develop a more concrete test for imagination to test this hypothesis.

Do you know what this meant, we don’t need to build large Language models for specific function for imagination or perception. I work with autogenerate agents, where each agent is given one task and their responsibility is to do that specific task. In this case, one agent describes what it should imagine. The other agent creates image out of it and send to the original thinking agent. This happens back and forth, but in our mind this communication happens so fast.

So even though the noisy screen does not display that lines someone might see them (our brain might be overlap them onto the screen). Am i right?

@JordanSullivanadventures 2 місяці тому

It seems to me the way we distinguish between imagination and reality is relatively simple: we ask other people or look for feedback from other sources. It's why we ask " Are you seeing this? Did that just happen?" when something unexpected occurs. I think when you see or hear things that other people deny, your response will depend on your socialization (i.e. how much have you been taught to trust your own experiences?) and the relative intensity of the experience (i.e. did you just glimpse it once or is it ongoing?). I think the fact this is more of a spectrum makes a ton of sense to me; kids have a far more fluid idea of imagination and reality, but are socialized over time to discount the more imaginary aspects of their inner worlds and to distrust their own experiences. Women especially are socialized to question their experiences and discount things that have happened to them. If someone has persistent hallucinations, this may be distressing for many reasons, but one of them is probably that you can't make your internal sense of reality match up with what other people are able to confirm.

@JordanSullivanadventures 2 місяці тому

And that's not even to mention anthropological studies of peoples who believe in the supernatural, where someone reporting that they'd seen a spirit would be a completely normal thing to hear. In that case, a sensory stimulus that we might call a hallucination, their society would consider perfectly real. I highly recommend the book Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes for a perspective on such a society.

@monkerud2108 4 місяці тому

I think it is more of a disease originating in our social apparatuses, and the behaviour and stressed states create a scenario where you close of and can begin sort of dreaming while awake in a sense. This doesn't account for everything, but i think the anti social aspect is really the more defining trait of that particular disease and we habe many predespositions that can make it easier or harder to hallucinate visually or audibly. Have you ever heard of a sick person get hallucinations that are abstract and not at all anthropomorphized innterms of agency or narrative prior to showong other symptoms, i havent reviewed a lot of cases, but i think the anti social and mental isolation is the primary aspect and hallucination can happen like it can in any healthy brain, but people have different predisposition to enable healthy hallucination so to speak.

I gotta say, this video was pretty interesting but also a bit sketchy at the same time. I mean, sure, the things they talked about with the brain, microbiome, and mitochondria was quite informative, but I'm not entirely convinced about how in-depth their analysis was and what the implications of their findings could be. They started off with the Perky effect and how the brain can tell the difference between real and imagined sensations, which is an amazing idea. But I'm not sure how useful that is in the real world, other than just being cool to know. They also talked about how the microbiome affects our health, which is really important, but they didn't go into a lot of detail about how exactly that happens and how we can use that knowledge to help people.

Humans are evolutionarily social for what is considered group advantage (to get food, resources, etc.). However, I have to question whether the implications of a more 'contagious' gut microbiome could also have been a driving evolutionary factor for human socialness. Or, was it the other way around? Human socialness driven by other factors revolutionized the human microbiome? Biology is so multilayered and fascinating.

Is this the greatest breakthrough in neuroscience? Gradual meter? Nevertheless, very diverse speakers. Great job.

Could that imply if the prefrontal/visual cortex’s are responsible for determining if something is real or imaginary people with schizophrenia have genetic mutations that result in a deformity or lack of something within those areas causing indistinguishable hallucinations that cannot be differentiated from imaginary or real? Edit: once i got home i watched the whole vid and saw it mention these things, was thinking while working 😂

Has it ever occured to you that sometimes schizophrenia is induced by various factors not genetically related?

@cynical-4649 4 місяці тому

@@whatabouttheearth Yes, however, the exact reason behind its cause is unknown. We can only assume. It can be “hereditary” and it can occur in families with no relevant history of schizophrenia. But what if the environmental role impacts the development of the genes potentially responsible (it’s unknown, but assumption) for triggering schizophrenia. So basically the genetic mutation is the consequence of environmental irregularities (like childhood abuse or trauma or even substance abuse). Similarly, it is theorized that Alzheimers is not “cured” by removing beta amyloid build up - only slowed. This could be because beta amyloid buildup is the consequence of other factors at play. Its what happens when Alzheimer’s has “progressed” to its “next phase” and not the cause. Perhaps schizophrenia and environmental triggers is what can lead to genetic mutations as a consequence of the cause (trauma/drugs/etc).
