    The human brain is excellent at adapting to different types of realities. That's why some dreams seems so real. It is only as real as your brain tells you it is :)

      Mirk Jerken i know this sound crazy but i had a dream that my hand was burning and my skin layer buy layer piealing of and i could feel it all the burning and piealing off is that possible? I mean i know its possible because i was felling it . Tho my hand in my dream was not on fire it was just i dont know its weird.

    • @nobody6317
      @nobody6317 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A dream can’t make you feel pain
      If you felt pain, which means the brain puts the “pain stimulus” from the real world into your dreams making it seems like it was the dream that was making you feel pain

  • @Nazareadain
    @Nazareadain 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Neuroplasticity is great, though it basically means we spend our younger years calibrating to our body, building proprioception. What's especially interesting about it, however, is that it technically means we can develop a sensitivity to signals that has nothing to do with our current senses. There's probably input that makes more sense than others, and there's obvious issues with trying to feed it directly to the brain, or making custom inputs, but any sense is just a set of signals, and any set of signals can be interpreted. Some of those interpretations are more hardwired than others, but the fact that not all of them are hardwired will make it interesting to see how the field develops.

    • @MrDarren690
      @MrDarren690 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, and this is the basis for sensory substitution or sensory compensation. Other senses can "spill over" into other domains; e.g. this TED talk from a guy with pure colorblindness, but was able to perceive colors by hearing different tones. Or, how blind people can recruit their seemingly unused visual cortices for other processing, like hearing or touch.

    Really interesting Learning - The Rubber Hand Experiment demonstrates the brain's capacity for multisensory integration and its ability to adapt quickly to new sensory information, blurring the boundaries between self and non-self. It highlights the importance of sensory input in shaping our body image and our perception of self.

    I'm sorry I don't understand why this is sensational.
    His finger is attached to an artificial look-alike. They decieve is brain into thinking it is moving the artificial hand... but it is. His brain is entirely responsible for moving the artificial hand albeit that it is not visually aware of the connection. Did I miss something? You get a similar feeling of going in between two extremes if you lay on your arm long enough and get pins and needles, that in fact you are not responsible for actuating this machinery, then as blood returns to the nerves the idea of agency is restored. I think I'm missing something.

    • @0MVR_0
      @0MVR_0 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Perhaps that is what I missed. That there is a feedback effect to sensation from the central onto the peripheral.
      But if that were the case or the intended effect, why don't they stimulate only the fake hand instead of both at the same time after establishing that link?
      I still think this video is going way over the top on detailing the contours of an exposition which shows something we are all already familiar with.
