When the narrator, Susan Zimmerman, said Rosalie was completely blind, with the build up of Rosalie seeing those real-life crowd of circus performers burst into her room, that just blows my mind! That's what I called a plot twist!
I think it’d be pretty cool to experience. Especially once you know you have the condition and realize what’s happening. Then you can relax and watch the show! Hopefully you can add your own sound effects if you’re alone.
once i started playing tf2 at around 11am and passed out on my keyboard at around 4am and when i woke up at 11am i could still hear the explosions and bullet fire of tf2, until i remembered i lived in south sudan and those sounds werent hallucinations
It's quite amazing and surprising that someone who is blind since birth can distinguish colors in their imagination. Yes, they may know the basic colors but having knowing how red is different from blue is another matter.
The animation is AMAZING. As an artist, I appreciate such great endeavor for creating a visual environment for education to happen at it's very best. Salute to the director.
I think this explains why whenever I walk in the dark, with little to no light, I can see glimpses of obstacles in my way, even though I'm completely aware that there are none also, gorgeous animation as always :D
I read about that somewhere just over a year ago. I think that's called phantom imaging. Basically your brain is trying to make sense of what little information its getting while also being aware of what's going on around you.
I've tried LSD a couple times and asked myself "why does every human beeing have such a different personality?" I came to the result that everyone has another perception of "their world" and this has been influencing their attitude since ever. So our way of perception determines who we are. This is what defines us as an individual, I believe.
I had the exact same experience, but instead I decided that deep down, everyone is the same. All caring individuals with similar thought processes as everyone else, but mask their inner softness with their personalities, which are usually shaped by their society.
@@haj2715 oh yeah that's right! Some people hinder others to flourish. Most people are not aware of that, but if someone is, he/she should look out for friends with similar thaughts. When the real personality is kept down, it can destroy.
Man I had this exact thought during a trip. All the elements that define us as individuals are the result of the perception our brain has on the world, including the perception of ourselves. The reason why we may find an other person to have a similar personality, or a similar way of living the day, may be linked to a similar brain functioning.
I was scrolling through the comments to make sure I wasn't the only one that noticed similarities regarding character design and the overall minimal style. Reaally didn't help that the blue elephant essentially looks like Tree Trunks lol
Really makes you wonder, if our brain fills in a lot of our vision with stored info, what in real life are we actually seeing and what isn't actually real?
That would be one if the upsides to having aphantasia, everything you see is real and there's nothing in your mind that may alter what is actually there.
@@Dragoon710 Not sure. Think it's pretty bold to assume that one's perception of reality is "the rawest" just cause they can't imagine what things look like. Plenty can hallucinate and dream as normal.
We only fill in the blind spots we can't actually make it into something totally different. Kinda like when you're reading fast and sometimes you read something isn't actually written on the line and your mind fills it up as it is something that is usually on the sentence or next to the word. It won't give you a whole different sentence
@@spongebob9682 Or is it? What if our brains are processing something illusory, such as data to which all of our brains take in - and what if this data isn't exactly "real," but just an illusion masking a nothingness. Time itself is illusory, and extremely confusing. It is important to remember you have no idea how or why the world works, or why or how you exist; so never attempt to believe that you understand.
How to locate the part where your eye is "blind". 1- Look straight forward, at a fixed spot, toward the horizon, 2- Close your left eye. 3- Extend your right arm and give a "thumbs up" to the horizon. 4- Move your extended arm to the left, keeping the thumb aligned with the horizon. You'll see there's a spot you can't see your thumb at all. Try moving it. It's like it's not there! That's where your retina cuts out and the optic nerve begins. It's around 10-15 degrees horizontally to your focal point and it is effectively a blind spot. It's where your brain interpolates the surroundings so you don't see a gray spot all the time. The brain also does this somewhat to your nose and eyeglass rims, if you use glasses. I used to wear thick rim glasses with relatively small lenses (I don't anymore. PRK surgery is awesome ♥). And you don't notice them consciently after using glasses for a long time, even though you're well aware of your deficiency.
I’m now remembering the time a few years ago my clothes crawled around on my floor for a few days and I heard someone breaking down my door and terrorizing. May I never relive those days of my life again.
Once I got a fever of like 103 and I experienced hallucinations that made me feel like I was shrinking and growing, and to avoid feeling like I was totally gone, I had to grab a large object such as a pillow and curl into a ball around it
NightcoRohak yeah I used to have that as a very young kid, if I was sick, I would have dreams of clinging onto one thing in the middle of a dark abyss that kept shrinking and growing, when the abyss shrunk, it would close up on me and I just felt overall claustrophobic. Dunno it was really scary lol
Watch this while hallucinating lol, same thing, it’s just history. But I will say, this makes me not want to hallucinate, EVER. this actually is motivation not to take harmful drugs, as seeing reality bend or break in strange unearthly ways would terrify me. I’m already sensitive, I don’t need to add to it lol
I thank you for the content and for this topic exactly because my mother suffers from this syndrome, and when she was telling me about her seeing loud colors, I used to accuse you and say that it is just hallucinations, but now I really understand it makes us respect the difference in our perceptions Thank you for the topic TED
The reason the blind spot never bothers us is because we have two eyes. They each have a blind spot in a different place, so they both fill in the other’s blind spot.
@@alaskavonenzberg6467 an interesting experiment is to put two small dots about two inches apart on some paper. Cover one eye and stare at one of the dots. Slowly move the paper and eventually that dot you aren’t staring at (which should be in your peripheral vision) will vanish from existence since it’s in your blind spot.
@@aplus1080 your brain fills it in with surrounding colors. You can notice it if something is totally in the blind spot where the rest of the eye cant see it and fill it in
They always are on Ted-Ed aren't they? Love how they change their style with each video - but this one blew me away! This was something that 10 years ago you'd expect as a short from Disney or another huge company - but from a TH-cam channel (granted, TED is a huge company) this is insane!!!
having psychosis I can tell you the anti psychotics really work wonders I was extremely paranoid of them at first but when I changed to the monthly injection it really allowed me to step back from delusions and hallucinations and I felt like a whole new person. they come with a few side effects but its definitely worth it if your life is out of control and I can tell you they also really do effect how lsd works. I took some on a holiday with a friend and even after a few tabs It didn't have that much of an effect beside the body load and having a great sense of humour while my friend was really enjoying his trip. hallucinations can be interesting and fun but in every day life they can get in the way and the delusions can really break you down, if anyone is experiencing voices or thinking people are talking in code or the tv is talking to you these can be signs of psychosis and its ok to get health care involved because if it gets worse its hard to trust anyone including your own reality.
I will say for me the meds don't just have a few side effects. They can be pretty awful too. I'm glad they help with psychosis but they make the avolition and cognitive effects worse and have caused me a permanent movement disorder and restless legs syndrome as well as 70 pounds weight gain.
Ever had that hallucination right after you woke up, that you're holding your phone in your hand, but then you open your eyes and realize you're actually holding nothing?
It is possible that you have a pretty light hearing loss. I very recently realized that I have tinnitus and a couple months ago I constantly heard people calling my name. While it's just a correlation, it's something to look out for
I thought this was going to be about drugs and I was already typing a joke about it and you dropped that « blind people have hallucinations » and my mind was bloooooooown!!
The writing and animations were fantastic for this video. I got the feeling there was well grounded thought behind each line of this video. Fascinating topic.
I am a teenage deaf girl who is on TH-cam a lot and you have just help so much as I have had hallucinating voices. Thanks for letting me know what was happening. Yours sincerely a teenage deaf girl👂
5:25 the waves are the same shape as the objects!!! wow, I know there's a lot of comments on how the animation is impressive, but that takes the cake. so gorgeous.
This was a great talk! ♥ *I was really surprised, however, that you didn't mention the fact that no blind person has ever been diagnosed with schizophrenia.* To me, that's perhaps the most fascinating part, especially since the most common form of hallucinations for those suffering with schizophrenia are auditory. P.S. since everything we see is subjective, and is all experienced in the brain (for instance: how colorblind people see the world differently), isn't it technically _all_ a hallucination? :)
Arguing semantics, but I think "illusion" and "hallucination" are different. Everything we sense could be considered an illusion. But I think a hallucination suggests a form representing something that cannot be confirmed by general consensus. The very chair you sit in could be some grand illusion, but the fact that others can confirm its existance and describe it as you do would suggest it is at least not a hallucination. If we want to go deeper and dismiss the idea of a general consensus by suggesting us observing others is in of itself also an illusion-- then we must define things by how consistant they are in our minds. Observing a pink elephant is a hallucination by definition because it is inconsistant. While a chair is consistant. But what if pink elephants become a consistant sight? So consistant, they are as ordinary to you as your chair? At that point, I don't think language is useful. At least no English language.
TedEd is the best . It's so helpful and informative. I love watching this channel. Thanks to all the people who make the animations and do voice overs and do the research themselves. We are grateful❤️
Aadiv Rath but how does the brain cause them? The mechanisms involved are varying and complex and measuring them objectively proves difficult. "If the human brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't"
Not here to encourage drug use, but I believe psychedelics, when used properly and with respect; can be a very positive, introspective and meditative tool. LSD, DMT, Ayahuasca, Psilosybin, Peyote- all hold a place than can benefit us when used in a way that promotes insight to the world around us. The concept of an 'ego-death' is, in the moment, often scary, awful and profound; but when you come back to a sober state, it allows you to reflect and feel humbled, almost. Able to see things in a new light and hopefully gain new respect for things you may overlook in daily life. You see details you never would have noticed. Feel things that you may have ignored otherwise. Often times, people generally go back to a child-like state of understanding. Not in a 'childish' way necessarily, but in that your perception changes to see things fresh and in a new light. One you may have never considered before.
hahahhaha you started with "Not here to encourage drug use.." and then TOTALLY endorsed drug use in the next ten lines.. so much so that I'm convinced LOL
@@riddlezastra1496 Haha, well, I don't think talking about psychedelics in a positive light is specifically endorsing or encouraging their use. These are just my beliefs and what I've experienced. The one thing I do encourage everyine to do is research for themselves.
@@okeoi Sure.. I am ALL for that, actually.. but you know there are things like psychosis, bad trips.. and impulsive and dangerous behavior ("I believe I can fly") so maybe it's not for EVERYBODY, that's for sure.. but there is this study that says that microdosing everyday has cognitive benefits and stuff.. so maybe that'll work for all of us
Completely agree! Filled me up with a desire to keep on improving animation and design skills - these were STUNNING! The flow of the video and the style of the animation itself were beautiful!
@Hedgiethe Hog just look at yourself for 10 minutes. No distractions. You start to slowly see distortions in your sight. You might not even be able to identify yourself anymore. There’s even a study for this
Every trip can be a bad trip depending on how you perceive it. I've been in a room full of people on LSD and we all seen the same exact thing. Or the same exact thing happened to us during the trip that seemed to stand out from the rest of the trip. I believe it lifts a vail of what normal perceiving people see. I also had a near death experience and was completely Atheist "Never religious in my life" before this happened. I saw my entire life "Like a movie" play out in front of me. Then I was shown a baby sitting in the middle of the bed with her arms out wearing a ponytail on the top of her head. Then I awoke looking down on myself from an aerial view staring down at my own body. I couldn't see or feel my body from where I was. I only had my thoughts, my sight, and my hearing. I could hear people from below me frantically trying to revive me. I felt calm, warm, like a baby being cradled by it's mother. I was slowly drifting upwards ever so slightly as the seconds past. I asked questions in my head and they were all answered. I was eventually revived and a year later had a baby girl that looked exactly like the little girl from my "Life review". The whole time I was floating I felt as if someone was next to me but I was never able to turn to see who it was. I knew from that moment there is more to this world than we could truly ever understand. Almost feels futile sometimes. Especially to explain it to others. Near death experience studies are fascinating. Seems to hold a lot of keys to the answers of consciousness and the human brain. I was experiencing thing I shouldn't have been experiencing in a time when I should not have been conscious at all. I was dead for 15 minutes.
What an interesting topic. As a person with a lot of experience with hallucinogenics you really begin to understand how subjective the world really is. When you are able to identify when you are hallucinating it can be a pleasant experience but if you cannot it is very terrifying, I can only imagine life with schizophrenia.
I've always been too afraid to take hallucinogens but I remember a few times hearing such real classical music while I was trying to fall asleep. It lasted for 5 or 10 minutes. There's no rhyme or reason for it. Great video!
I had only one auditory hallucination when I was a kid. I was by myself and remember vividly being alone in a park near my house. I heard someone whisper in my head and I immediately looked behind me to find nothing. I don't know why it happened, now I only have these occurrences in the twilight zone of sleep, but it was as clear as any voice I've heard. And I'm positive it was in my head as no trees or places to hide to were around. I wonder if I conjured up this memory but it couldn't have been the case, As I remember every detail to the letter.
I sometimes hallucinate voices when I’m waking up. A couple of days ago someone said ‘carpets’ and I woke up. I live on my own but he voice was as if someone said that standing next to me. I know it was a hallucination. I find that in dreams otherwise you don’t really ‘hear’ voices, you know almost the same way as reading off of a page what the other person has said. The voice that said ‘carpets’ was also distinctive away from my own voice and louder than my inner monologue.
I like how you put it in regards to dreams and voices. It always feels to me like everything I'm experiencing in a dream is part of a "script" of sorts. If it's a nightmare about something scary like a monster or such I'd feel anxious all the time during the dream, even more during worse moments of it, sure, but still I can "feel" it was a bad moment. If it's a good dream about something joyful happening, then I always feel light and happy all the time. As such, the events of the dream always feel like they're already something I should be expecting to happen somewhat.
i’ve also had a hallucination while waking up, and they are apparently pretty common when waking up and falling asleep. they have different names for visual and auditory ones but the only one i ever had was about a year ago, and it was vidual and auditory and im still curious about it.
Can we just take some time to admire how fluid Ted-Ed's animations are while managing to deliver a perfectly understandable lesson to the viewers. Impressive.
One time i was trying to go deep in meditation and i thought i sleep but i was awake, and I don't get any visuals that are more normal but i was hearing and controling a whole orchestra, i was hearing every instrument and i was able to focus on then individually, i never have heard this song that was playing, it feels like i was creating the sounds all at same time, it was beautiful
When I had a fever, I had hallucinations. At the time I thought it was my brain taking the easy route to showing me what I was looking at. It was kind of an imaginary focus. I guess this video confirms it!
Our consciousness is a product of the working neurons of our brain and we have no free will over it. *That* is why we can be controlled by biochemical interaction of ingested drugs, because we are already controled by the existing drugs in our brain.
This really got me because I work as a med tech in a nursing home, and we have a patient with failing eyesight who recently had to get an eye removed. None of her meds changed and she's totally cognizant, but she's started to have hallucinations and we all had no idea why. Now I'm going to discuss the possibility of Charles Bonnet Syndrome with her doctor. Or maybe she's just been secretly tripping this whole time.
I have always wondered about hallucinations and I was so happy when I so a Ted-Ed video about it. Thanks. And the animation is just BREATHTAKING espasily 2:53 . You are amazing.
It was the day before my 9th grade result of BOARD exams and I was so much stressed out it literally was nerve racking at last I finally slept at 🕝 two thirty n then I woke up at five to Offer prayer (I’m Muslim) and I clearly remember that I was standing and due to extreme sleep deprivation my eyes just closed themselves and I literally saw the same scene but everything was dark mustard in colour and I also saw three to four ME(S) standing on my either side and then I subconsciously say in my mind NOW WE ALL ARE GOING TO PRAY TOGETHER and then I open my eyes just at that moment all of the other ME(S) fuse with me ...I was so scared I immediately finished the prayer and then went to 🛏 bed !!!... I remember that vividly for sure... As a side note I scored 97% ( not bad though) Also I’m myopic but wasn’t born with it Does it mean I have C.......?😱
Maybe u were just stressed.... I got hallucinations when I was highschool bcos of depression which causes lack of sleep, crying every afternoon and always alone. I even saw my feet standing in front of me and it was creepy, I even heard someone like a old lady calling my name with a thirsty sound (they were all sleeping that time except me bcos I had insomnia)... For now I stopped hallucinating (maybe) bcos I overcome my depression but I only hallucinate when I'm having sleep paralyze...
Wow I've had nearly the same exact vision of my room being dark and yellowish when I close my eyes, only difference is I was tripping lol. You were probably in a very meditative state from praying which can cause some strange things to happen
According to the "full teaching" page for this (link in the description box), the animators are: Alessandro Durando, Giacomo D'Ancona, Silvia Bassoli, Dalila Rovazzani, Riccardo Chiara, and Milena Tipaldo.
Growing up my grandma lived in the same house my whole life. She had a mirror on the door of her guest bathroom, and I spent a lot of time in that bathroom getting ready for ballet class since she would pick me up from school and take me to ballet. Years and years later, I stayed at an Airbnb in Chicago. The bathroom had the same shape as grandma's bathroom. Whenever I would see the bathroom door out of the corner of my eye, I would see a mirror on it; yet, there was no mirror on the door. I never saw a mirror while looking directly at it. "Hallucination" is a pretty extreme term, but your brain absolutely fills in spots in your visual field with information it has generated itself.
Y’all animate your videos to fit with the video so we’ll. Not only with what you’re actually animating but also with the style of animation. It’s amazing!
When I was about 3, I had a fever in the middle of the night. It got to about 104, and I was hallucinating badly. A couple days ago, I asked my mom to describe what it was like again. She said that, while she was trying to give me an ice bath to cool down my body, I kept on describing what was happening around me. It was mostly incomprehensible, as I was 3 with a near deadly temperature, but the main takeaways she gathered were that everything was green, I was drowning, and there were things crawling on the walls. Now, not only did I literally scream when the scene on the Boss Baby played when the kid had the green goggles on, but I also am not confused on why I experienced literal years of nightmares about drowning in a sea of green liquid.
I don't know if I was hallucinating or not but when I was around 5 year old during night with wide open eyes I could see the wall of my room being squeezed by a bulldozer. The color of the lights were changing rapidly even though the lights were off. It felt like my bed is an elevator and it's going up. It was a wierd experience as I remember I was awake and could see everything in front of my eyes. It's good, it doesn't happen now.
I once woke up red strings circled above me head near my face, I was startle but thats not the first time. Sometimes different colors or harmless form which is startling but always when im waking up
I know this is rather old, but what you described is essentially a waking dream. It’s sort of like lucid dreaming’s obnoxious twin, because unlike lucid dreaming where you’re asleep, know you’re asleep and can control everything, in a waking dream you’re awake, but your brain thinks you’re still asleep, and often or not you’re basically paralyzed as you watch hallucinogenic chaos swarm around you. I’ve only had a few of them, thankfully, and all of them were associated with lack of sleep and high stress, so I learned to try to keep at least one or the other at bay to avoid it. But even when it was something otherwise harmless (blobs of color, things like that) it also seemed to trigger a fight or flight response in my head - possibly because the brain realizes that something isn’t right and is trying to forcefully wake me up. Needless to say, it’s always ended with me staying awake with only a limited hours of sleep, and generally avoiding just about anything that seemed to be associated to the dream for a few months ^^”
@@Silentgrace11 hey i know this is old, but a really good tip to memorize for when you get sleep paralysis is to wiggle your fingers. It's such a small movement that your brain can actually do it while your asleep, and once you wiggle your fingers you can work up to your arms, and then you can move freely and wake up after a small bit. I tried it, and i woke up really quickly you can look it up too, I would provide links but I haven't researched this in years so i lost my sources
Starting a few months after I turned 17 I began having some minor hallucinations. Granted at the time I was severely depressed, I am also autistic, and had a long string of terrible experiences and situations that led to periods of impulsive self harm. Whenever my environment or situation got worse it would often come with varying hallucinations. I’ve heard a doorbell ring when there was no one there The sound of people outside my house Once when I was trying to sleep I heard a cacophony of people murmuring in my ear followed by one person saying my old name pre- transition. Visually I once saw a large figure moving around my room repeatedly for about an hour around 4 in the morning. Once I saw an almost demon like shape flying above my head, and vines growing from posters on my wall

Really makes you wonder, if our brain fills in a lot of our vision with stored info, what in real life are we actually seeing and what isn't actually real?
That would be one if the upsides to having aphantasia, everything you see is real and there's nothing in your mind that may alter what is actually there.
@@Dragoon710 Not sure. Think it's pretty bold to assume that one's perception of reality is "the rawest" just cause they can't imagine what things look like. Plenty can hallucinate and dream as normal.
98% of it is real vision the rest is the eye filling it In. Everything we see is real
We only fill in the blind spots we can't actually make it into something totally different. Kinda like when you're reading fast and sometimes you read something isn't actually written on the line and your mind fills it up as it is something that is usually on the sentence or next to the word. It won't give you a whole different sentence
@@spongebob9682 Or is it? What if our brains are processing something illusory, such as data to which all of our brains take in - and what if this data isn't exactly "real," but just an illusion masking a nothingness. Time itself is illusory, and extremely confusing. It is important to remember you have no idea how or why the world works, or why or how you exist; so never attempt to believe that you understand.
Lack of sleep definitely causes some hallucinations

bruh are you on your computer 24/7

How to locate the part where your eye is "blind".
1- Look straight forward, at a fixed spot, toward the horizon,
2- Close your left eye.
3- Extend your right arm and give a "thumbs up" to the horizon.
4- Move your extended arm to the left, keeping the thumb aligned with the horizon.
You'll see there's a spot you can't see your thumb at all. Try moving it. It's like it's not there!
That's where your retina cuts out and the optic nerve begins. It's around 10-15 degrees horizontally to your focal point and it is effectively a blind spot. It's where your brain interpolates the surroundings so you don't see a gray spot all the time.
The brain also does this somewhat to your nose and eyeglass rims, if you use glasses. I used to wear thick rim glasses with relatively small lenses (I don't anymore. PRK surgery is awesome ♥). And you don't notice them consciently after using glasses for a long time, even though you're well aware of your deficiency.
I had glasses forover 5 years and im still as annoyed by there existance today as 5 years ago. When will this kick in?
AAAAH THIS IS CRAZY i found it!!!!
I had glasses since I was 6 years old... Now I am 12.
Strange... I had to move my arm to the right to see it.
WHOAA
I’m now remembering the time a few years ago my clothes crawled around on my floor for a few days and I heard someone breaking down my door and terrorizing. May I never relive those days of my life again.
i pray that you never have to deal with that ever again, ive had similar, allbeit shorter bouts of that kinda stuff. terrifying
Beautiful animation! Kudos to you, animator!
Once I got a fever of like 103 and I experienced hallucinations that made me feel like I was shrinking and growing, and to avoid feeling like I was totally gone, I had to grab a large object such as a pillow and curl into a ball around it
I feel that.
That is very interesting.
NightcoRohak yeah I used to have that as a very young kid, if I was sick, I would have dreams of clinging onto one thing in the middle of a dark abyss that kept shrinking and growing, when the abyss shrunk, it would close up on me and I just felt overall claustrophobic. Dunno it was really scary lol
I became a infinite line when I had the stomach flu once. Sole reason I haven’t done lsd I don’t want to go back to that place
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded
Ted ed has the No. 1 topics! They fascinate me! I have never known so much! Thank you so much Ted ed!!!!!
Ted ed is becoming my favorite thing to watch on youtube. These animations, just wow.
Especially when under influence, absolutely mesmerizing.
Fun fact: If you watch Drunk History while drunk, it just becomes history.
You are both hallucinating. ; ^{)
Hear hear!!
Watch this while hallucinating lol, same thing, it’s just history.
But I will say, this makes me not want to hallucinate, EVER. this actually is motivation not to take harmful drugs, as seeing reality bend or break in strange unearthly ways would terrify me. I’m already sensitive, I don’t need to add to it lol

I thank you for the content and for this topic exactly because my mother suffers from this syndrome, and when she was telling me about her seeing loud colors, I used to accuse you and say that it is just hallucinations, but now I really understand it makes us respect the difference in our perceptions Thank you for the topic TED
The reason the blind spot never bothers us is because we have two eyes. They each have a blind spot in a different place, so they both fill in the other’s blind spot.
sweet
@@alaskavonenzberg6467 an interesting experiment is to put two small dots about two inches apart on some paper. Cover one eye and stare at one of the dots. Slowly move the paper and eventually that dot you aren’t staring at (which should be in your peripheral vision) will vanish from existence since it’s in your blind spot.
No. Even if you had one eye you wouldn't notice the blind spot.
ima keep one eye closed for a few days, seeya in the psych ward
@@aplus1080 your brain fills it in with surrounding colors. You can notice it if something is totally in the blind spot where the rest of the eye cant see it and fill it in

The animations are amazing!!
They always are on Ted-Ed aren't they? Love how they change their style with each video - but this one blew me away! This was something that 10 years ago you'd expect as a short from Disney or another huge company - but from a TH-cam channel (granted, TED is a huge company) this is insane!!!
Baekhyun, Seulgi & Jungkook i see you everywhere
Hi army also I see u everywhere!

I'm gasping at every single frame, the animation and transitions are gorgeous
The brain is so underrated! A lot of people would be fascinated if they’re told about the subject in the right way. Thanks so much TED-Ed :D
That's exactly why I watch TED-Ed videos. : )
I get what you're trying to say, but "underrated?"
Unappreciated. Undervalued. Misunderstood. I agree.
But, _underrated?_
having psychosis I can tell you the anti psychotics really work wonders I was extremely paranoid of them at first but when I changed to the monthly injection it really allowed me to step back from delusions and hallucinations and I felt like a whole new person. they come with a few side effects but its definitely worth it if your life is out of control and I can tell you they also really do effect how lsd works. I took some on a holiday with a friend and even after a few tabs It didn't have that much of an effect beside the body load and having a great sense of humour while my friend was really enjoying his trip. hallucinations can be interesting and fun but in every day life they can get in the way and the delusions can really break you down, if anyone is experiencing voices or thinking people are talking in code or the tv is talking to you these can be signs of psychosis and its ok to get health care involved because if it gets worse its hard to trust anyone including your own reality.
I'm experiencing this now and am on antipsychotics
I will say for me the meds don't just have a few side effects. They can be pretty awful too. I'm glad they help with psychosis but they make the avolition and cognitive effects worse and have caused me a permanent movement disorder and restless legs syndrome as well as 70 pounds weight gain.
i got psychosis when i took a heck ton of benadryl
TED-Ed be making better plot twists than M.Night Shyamalan
...that's actually such a strange coincidence, literally just commented on someone's comment about Sixth Sense....
Ever had that hallucination right after you woke up, that you're holding your phone in your hand, but then you open your eyes and realize you're actually holding nothing?
Yes and its so weird 😭
yeah... its called dreaming
That's called Hypnagogic Hallucinations
@@stablow4291 no called Hypnagogic Hallucinations
A lit cigarette. I don't smoke in bed.
I hallucinate sounds even though I still have my hearing, some of them were calling names even Unknown songs
Same
Nuel Aria same
It is possible that you have a pretty light hearing loss. I very recently realized that I have tinnitus and a couple months ago I constantly heard people calling my name. While it's just a correlation, it's something to look out for
My brain makes music when I smoke weed
I heard ppl i know call my name before even Tho they werent around. Was pretty scared the first time bc it just Sounded so real
I thought this was going to be about drugs and I was already typing a joke about it and you dropped that « blind people have hallucinations » and my mind was bloooooooown!!
The writing and animations were fantastic for this video. I got the feeling there was well grounded thought behind each line of this video. Fascinating topic.
I am a teenage deaf girl who is on TH-cam a lot and you have just help so much as I have had hallucinating voices. Thanks for letting me know what was happening. Yours sincerely a teenage deaf girl👂
5:25 the waves are the same shape as the objects!!! wow, I know there's a lot of comments on how the animation is impressive, but that takes the cake. so gorgeous.
This was a great talk! ♥ *I was really surprised, however, that you didn't mention the fact that no blind person has ever been diagnosed with schizophrenia.* To me, that's perhaps the most fascinating part, especially since the most common form of hallucinations for those suffering with schizophrenia are auditory.
P.S. since everything we see is subjective, and is all experienced in the brain (for instance: how colorblind people see the world differently), isn't it technically _all_ a hallucination? :)
Arguing semantics, but I think "illusion" and "hallucination" are different. Everything we sense could be considered an illusion. But I think a hallucination suggests a form representing something that cannot be confirmed by general consensus. The very chair you sit in could be some grand illusion, but the fact that others can confirm its existance and describe it as you do would suggest it is at least not a hallucination.
If we want to go deeper and dismiss the idea of a general consensus by suggesting us observing others is in of itself also an illusion-- then we must define things by how consistant they are in our minds. Observing a pink elephant is a hallucination by definition because it is inconsistant. While a chair is consistant.
But what if pink elephants become a consistant sight? So consistant, they are as ordinary to you as your chair? At that point, I don't think language is useful. At least no English language.
TedEd is the best . It's so helpful and informative. I love watching this channel. Thanks to all the people who make the animations and do voice overs and do the research themselves. We are grateful❤️
The animations are amazing as always!

TED-Ed really makes me question the world and I love that
Q) What causes hallucinations?
A) Our Brains, that what.
Aadiv Rath but how does the brain cause them? The mechanisms involved are varying and complex and measuring them objectively proves difficult.
"If the human brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't"
That phrase tells evreything.
I stroke haved
Not here to encourage drug use, but I believe psychedelics, when used properly and with respect; can be a very positive, introspective and meditative tool. LSD, DMT, Ayahuasca, Psilosybin, Peyote- all hold a place than can benefit us when used in a way that promotes insight to the world around us. The concept of an 'ego-death' is, in the moment, often scary, awful and profound; but when you come back to a sober state, it allows you to reflect and feel humbled, almost. Able to see things in a new light and hopefully gain new respect for things you may overlook in daily life. You see details you never would have noticed. Feel things that you may have ignored otherwise. Often times, people generally go back to a child-like state of understanding. Not in a 'childish' way necessarily, but in that your perception changes to see things fresh and in a new light. One you may have never considered before.
Post nut clarity >>
it when your brain try to fill in emtry space...
hahahhaha you started with "Not here to encourage drug use.." and then TOTALLY endorsed drug use in the next ten lines.. so much so that I'm convinced LOL
@@riddlezastra1496 Haha, well, I don't think talking about psychedelics in a positive light is specifically endorsing or encouraging their use. These are just my beliefs and what I've experienced. The one thing I do encourage everyine to do is research for themselves.
@@okeoi Sure.. I am ALL for that, actually.. but you know there are things like psychosis, bad trips.. and impulsive and dangerous behavior ("I believe I can fly") so maybe it's not for EVERYBODY, that's for sure.. but there is this study that says that microdosing everyday has cognitive benefits and stuff.. so maybe that'll work for all of us
The animations are so good! I love how bright and colorful it is!
This is so beautifully bade and so incredibly cute! filled me up with inspiration and need to create! thank you!
Completely agree! Filled me up with a desire to keep on improving animation and design skills - these were STUNNING! The flow of the video and the style of the animation itself were beautiful!
CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW LONG IT TOOK TO MAKE THE ANIMATION.
This art style is so calming. I just feel alive for once more.
I've always loved TED-Ed's animations but this one was especially brilliant!!
Boy: granny can you see me?
Granny: wow mr. Triangle you can talk,
Boy: I’m your grandson. Are you hallucinating
Dang 70 likes and no comments…
This needs more likes
She knows her grandson is a square…
Everything is gorgeous, from the sound effects to the visuals. And the explanation is clear and well put out. You never cease to amaze me!
I can confirm, I've had a lot of hearing issues over my life and I hear all sorts of strange auditory hallucinations.
Take care
When you look at a mirror in really dim light, almost all of what you see is a hallucination.
@Hedgiethe Hog just look at yourself for 10 minutes. No distractions. You start to slowly see distortions in your sight. You might not even be able to identify yourself anymore. There’s even a study for this
@Hedgiethe Hog yea i get that too
@@AxolinaAxolotl Yep.
Candlelight is best for this.
Just stare at your reflection or another person... it will change drastically and many times.
Link ?
@@zurkez No link really needed. Just light a candle and stare at the mirror. You'll see it.
Each video of ted ed is a gem
The cuteness of the hallucination lill guy kinda makes me want to hallucinate just to maybe see it
Every trip can be a bad trip depending on how you perceive it. I've been in a room full of people on LSD and we all seen the same exact thing. Or the same exact thing happened to us during the trip that seemed to stand out from the rest of the trip. I believe it lifts a vail of what normal perceiving people see. I also had a near death experience and was completely Atheist "Never religious in my life" before this happened. I saw my entire life "Like a movie" play out in front of me. Then I was shown a baby sitting in the middle of the bed with her arms out wearing a ponytail on the top of her head. Then I awoke looking down on myself from an aerial view staring down at my own body. I couldn't see or feel my body from where I was. I only had my thoughts, my sight, and my hearing. I could hear people from below me frantically trying to revive me. I felt calm, warm, like a baby being cradled by it's mother. I was slowly drifting upwards ever so slightly as the seconds past. I asked questions in my head and they were all answered. I was eventually revived and a year later had a baby girl that looked exactly like the little girl from my "Life review". The whole time I was floating I felt as if someone was next to me but I was never able to turn to see who it was. I knew from that moment there is more to this world than we could truly ever understand. Almost feels futile sometimes. Especially to explain it to others. Near death experience studies are fascinating. Seems to hold a lot of keys to the answers of consciousness and the human brain. I was experiencing thing I shouldn't have been experiencing in a time when I should not have been conscious at all. I was dead for 15 minutes.
What an interesting topic. As a person with a lot of experience with hallucinogenics you really begin to understand how subjective the world really is. When you are able to identify when you are hallucinating it can be a pleasant experience but if you cannot it is very terrifying, I can only imagine life with schizophrenia.
The animation is just amazing. So artistic, I'm in love!
I've always been too afraid to take hallucinogens but I remember a few times hearing such real classical music while I was trying to fall asleep. It lasted for 5 or 10 minutes. There's no rhyme or reason for it. Great video!
I had only one auditory hallucination when I was a kid. I was by myself and remember vividly being alone in a park near my house. I heard someone whisper in my head and I immediately looked behind me to find nothing. I don't know why it happened, now I only have these occurrences in the twilight zone of sleep, but it was as clear as any voice I've heard. And I'm positive it was in my head as no trees or places to hide to were around. I wonder if I conjured up this memory but it couldn't have been the case, As I remember every detail to the letter.
gmmg same, i had a few auditory ones when i was younger, they never came back
What did the whisper say?
that was a ghost..
I sometimes hallucinate voices when I’m waking up. A couple of days ago someone said ‘carpets’ and I woke up. I live on my own but he voice was as if someone said that standing next to me. I know it was a hallucination. I find that in dreams otherwise you don’t really ‘hear’ voices, you know almost the same way as reading off of a page what the other person has said. The voice that said ‘carpets’ was also distinctive away from my own voice and louder than my inner monologue.
This guy by any chance? th-cam.com/video/6NRH-M38eRo/w-d-xo.html
I like how you put it in regards to dreams and voices. It always feels to me like everything I'm experiencing in a dream is part of a "script" of sorts. If it's a nightmare about something scary like a monster or such I'd feel anxious all the time during the dream, even more during worse moments of it, sure, but still I can "feel" it was a bad moment. If it's a good dream about something joyful happening, then I always feel light and happy all the time. As such, the events of the dream always feel like they're already something I should be expecting to happen somewhat.
i’ve also had a hallucination while waking up, and they are apparently pretty common when waking up and falling asleep. they have different names for visual and auditory ones but the only one i ever had was about a year ago, and it was vidual and auditory and im still curious about it.
Can we just take some time to admire how fluid Ted-Ed's animations are while managing to deliver a perfectly understandable lesson to the viewers. Impressive.
This videos animation was amazing!! I especially love the elephant at 00:20 !
can we just appreciate the beautiful artwork and animation. good job animators!!
One time i was trying to go deep in meditation and i thought i sleep but i was awake, and I don't get any visuals that are more normal but i was hearing and controling a whole orchestra, i was hearing every instrument and i was able to focus on then individually, i never have heard this song that was playing, it feels like i was creating the sounds all at same time, it was beautiful
When I had a fever, I had hallucinations. At the time I thought it was my brain taking the easy route to showing me what I was looking at. It was kind of an imaginary focus. I guess this video confirms it!
What causes hallucinations?
them drugs
Hey look, it's justin y's long lost cousin
Religion
I've been telling them! It's the faulty software, man!
No, it's them substances ) I mean, including those naturally present in the body.
Our consciousness is a product of the working neurons of our brain and we have no free will over it.
*That* is why we can be controlled by biochemical interaction of ingested drugs, because we are already controled by the existing drugs in our brain.
This really got me because I work as a med tech in a nursing home, and we have a patient with failing eyesight who recently had to get an eye removed. None of her meds changed and she's totally cognizant, but she's started to have hallucinations and we all had no idea why. Now I'm going to discuss the possibility of Charles Bonnet Syndrome with her doctor.
Or maybe she's just been secretly tripping this whole time.
I highly appreciate how this animation is done and how it communicates things.
I feel that the video is a Hallucination
I have always wondered about hallucinations and I was so happy when I so a Ted-Ed video about it. Thanks. And the animation is just BREATHTAKING espasily 2:53 . You are amazing.
It was the day before my 9th grade result of BOARD exams and I was so much stressed out it literally was nerve racking at last I finally slept at 🕝 two thirty n then I woke up at five to Offer prayer (I’m Muslim) and I clearly remember that I was standing and due to extreme sleep deprivation my eyes just closed themselves and I literally saw the same scene but everything was dark mustard in colour and I also saw three to four ME(S) standing on my either side and then I subconsciously say in my mind NOW WE ALL ARE GOING TO PRAY TOGETHER and then I open my eyes just at that moment all of the other ME(S) fuse with me ...I was so scared I immediately finished the prayer and then went to 🛏 bed !!!... I remember that vividly for sure...
As a side note I scored 97% ( not bad though)
Also I’m myopic but wasn’t born with it
Does it mean I have C.......?😱
Shazia Jamshaid woah
tippity tap yeah mind blowing isn’t it
Maybe u were just stressed....
I got hallucinations when I was highschool bcos of depression which causes lack of sleep, crying every afternoon and always alone. I even saw my feet standing in front of me and it was creepy, I even heard someone like a old lady calling my name with a thirsty sound (they were all sleeping that time except me bcos I had insomnia)... For now I stopped hallucinating (maybe) bcos I overcome my depression but I only hallucinate when I'm having sleep paralyze...
R/thathappened
Wow I've had nearly the same exact vision of my room being dark and yellowish when I close my eyes, only difference is I was tripping lol. You were probably in a very meditative state from praying which can cause some strange things to happen
Oh my gosh such smooth animation ! I love it!
try watching the video without sound it is absolutely amazing, mindblowing and hypnotizing
Can we just talk about how AMAZING that animation style is?

This video is beautifully put together. Not to mention the descriptions are the most accurate and simple I have ever heard.
I really need to know who animated this! It was amazing, I want to see more of their work
Me too!
I'm looking at the comments to hopefully discover who animated this video
According to the "full teaching" page for this (link in the description box), the animators are: Alessandro Durando, Giacomo D'Ancona, Silvia Bassoli, Dalila Rovazzani, Riccardo Chiara, and Milena Tipaldo.
The leprechaun under my house says everything is real.
Growing up my grandma lived in the same house my whole life. She had a mirror on the door of her guest bathroom, and I spent a lot of time in that bathroom getting ready for ballet class since she would pick me up from school and take me to ballet. Years and years later, I stayed at an Airbnb in Chicago. The bathroom had the same shape as grandma's bathroom. Whenever I would see the bathroom door out of the corner of my eye, I would see a mirror on it; yet, there was no mirror on the door. I never saw a mirror while looking directly at it. "Hallucination" is a pretty extreme term, but your brain absolutely fills in spots in your visual field with information it has generated itself.
Anyway this animation is incredible
2:16 Maybe that's the reason for dreams
Vinnuban B YOU MIGHT BE ONTO SOMETHIN!
What about lucid dreams? I have them, their fun but why can't everyone have them?
@@mandarinsandclementines2997 I have never had them in my lifetime even though I am already 15 years old lol :)
the most brilliant, incredible visuals i think I've ever seen on TH-cam.
what a wonderful animation, I loved how this is not just a vectorial animation, rather this has ( on purpose i believe ) pixel imperfect lines
The music together with the visuals make this video so haunting and creepy
The green head character is so cute
Y’all animate your videos to fit with the video so we’ll. Not only with what you’re actually animating but also with the style of animation. It’s amazing!
when they said, "she was comepletely blind" that creeped me out tho
same. sent shivers down my spine
I have one question.... who to blame for those delightful and exquisit animations in 12fps? OMG.
Beautyful work!!!
Ps: the info was amazing too
This video is so visually appealing and calming. Great info as well, thank you!
When I was about 3, I had a fever in the middle of the night. It got to about 104, and I was hallucinating badly. A couple days ago, I asked my mom to describe what it was like again. She said that, while she was trying to give me an ice bath to cool down my body, I kept on describing what was happening around me. It was mostly incomprehensible, as I was 3 with a near deadly temperature, but the main takeaways she gathered were that everything was green, I was drowning, and there were things crawling on the walls. Now, not only did I literally scream when the scene on the Boss Baby played when the kid had the green goggles on, but I also am not confused on why I experienced literal years of nightmares about drowning in a sea of green liquid.
"Even..Kermit the frog?"
The animation is absolutely incredible
I once saw on on of these glitches like at 2:05 , it was so weird i thought i was going blind then thought my brain was dying
I don't know if I was hallucinating or not but when I was around 5 year old during night with wide open eyes I could see the wall of my room being squeezed by a bulldozer. The color of the lights were changing rapidly even though the lights were off. It felt like my bed is an elevator and it's going up.
It was a wierd experience as I remember I was awake and could see everything in front of my eyes.
It's good, it doesn't happen now.
I once woke up red strings circled above me head near my face, I was startle but thats not the first time. Sometimes different colors or harmless form which is startling but always when im waking up
I know this is rather old, but what you described is essentially a waking dream. It’s sort of like lucid dreaming’s obnoxious twin, because unlike lucid dreaming where you’re asleep, know you’re asleep and can control everything, in a waking dream you’re awake, but your brain thinks you’re still asleep, and often or not you’re basically paralyzed as you watch hallucinogenic chaos swarm around you.
I’ve only had a few of them, thankfully, and all of them were associated with lack of sleep and high stress, so I learned to try to keep at least one or the other at bay to avoid it. But even when it was something otherwise harmless (blobs of color, things like that) it also seemed to trigger a fight or flight response in my head - possibly because the brain realizes that something isn’t right and is trying to forcefully wake me up.
Needless to say, it’s always ended with me staying awake with only a limited hours of sleep, and generally avoiding just about anything that seemed to be associated to the dream for a few months ^^”
@@Silentgrace11 hey i know this is old, but a really good tip to memorize for when you get sleep paralysis is to wiggle your fingers. It's such a small movement that your brain can actually do it while your asleep, and once you wiggle your fingers you can work up to your arms, and then you can move freely and wake up after a small bit.
I tried it, and i woke up really quickly
you can look it up too, I would provide links but I haven't researched this in years so i lost my sources
This is the finest animation in ted ed
Starting a few months after I turned 17 I began having some minor hallucinations. Granted at the time I was severely depressed, I am also autistic, and had a long string of terrible experiences and situations that led to periods of impulsive self harm.
Whenever my environment or situation got worse it would often come with varying hallucinations. I’ve heard a doorbell ring when there was no one there
The sound of people outside my house
Once when I was trying to sleep I heard a cacophony of people murmuring in my ear followed by one person saying my old name pre- transition.
Visually I once saw a large figure moving around my room repeatedly for about an hour around 4 in the morning. Once I saw an almost demon like shape flying above my head, and vines growing from posters on my wall
nobody,
absolutely nobody:

the animation is the best for any ted-ed ive ever seen
