How does Wired find all these really charismatic professionals? Seriously, every series where they have a professional coming in and explaining their field always has someone who's funny, not condascending, and really good at explaining complex things conscisely.

idk I feel like people are always really excited to tell others about something they know a lot about. They get really enthusiastic about it. if somebody asked me to explain soccer or Eminem music to them, I'd be jumping out of my seat. Only exceptions are teachers really, most of them turn bitter and aren't happy to help their students learn effectively.
I also like the saying "if you can't explain it to a 6 year old, you don't know what you're talking about." They simply Know what they're talking about

6:20 I asked my ASL teacher once how deaf people dream. He received mainstream education since little (I.e. a deaf person going to hearing school and learned to speak), but in his dream, everyone uses sign language, even his hearing parents and friends/teachers.
I dream in Japanese sometimes, after living there for a year and not being a native (Or even a very good) speaker. In my dreams I'm way better at speaking Japanese than I am in real life hahaha!
You people should check out the Tommy Edison experience 'channel. He is a blind guy (btw with an amazing attitude to life) and he did a video explaining how he dreams.
^ that and he talks about things like they're truly fascinating (which they are) and he's excited to tell you about them rather than making you feel like you asked a silly question or said something dumb. His excitement is contagious. I'd love to have him as a teacher or people like him as teachers.
And then there are people like us who use our brains trying to understand a brain that created a comment about a brain watching a brain trying to explain a brain .
Wonder how much of this information would become outdated in 10 years. Not hating on him or anything, its just that we are learning so much about our brain all the time. Brain is the only organ that is learning about itself. Crazy if you think about it.

I got a dream where my late grandfather visited my family’s house, I was there, and I welcomed him, shook his hand and everything... felt really real... I wish I could control dreams, make them last all night, so that I could make anything I wanted, go anywhere I want... I hope there would be new technology to make that happen...
Both my mother and I have prosopagnosia, mine is fairly mild, hers is a bit more moderate. There was one time she was in the store and she noticed a woman that looked extremely familiar. It kept bothering her til the woman then noticed her and started walking up smiling, then she recognized her. Turned out it was her daughter. My sister teased her about that for years.
I laugh because I have had moments like that. One of my coworkers hugged me and because we weren't at our normal environment I remember them in, I gave them this weird look like they were some stranger touching up on me. They were like, you know me. And I'm like, I do.
People I have failed to recognise: my best friend because she was wearing eyeliner. My mother because she changed her hair. Myself, in photos. My sister and nephew in a place I didn't expect to see them. Sundry cousins, aunts, and uncles in places I wasn't expecting them. Gillian Anderson every time she had a costume change in American Gods. (My boyfriend started playing Spot the Gillian to help me keep up with the plot, bless him. The big reveal in Spiderman: Homecoming went right over my head for some time.) I wonder how many people I've accidentally blanked on the street because they were out of context.

I often get this feeling of rising interest as I advance in watching Wired's videos in the "support" format. But about this one, I probably felt the strongest and I saw again, what fields of research are out there in the world which could be so interesting that I'd like to study them myself. Neuroscience could be one of the fields able to revolutionize our lives in the next decades. And being part of that would most definitely be one of the more interesting things in life to do ;)
I am hearing impaired and usually have to watch TH-cam videos with the subtitles on but I have to say Wired and these types of interviews has such great speakers I don't even need to use the closed captioning because they all enunciate so clearly I love it! And as always interesting subject matter as well.
I hope we become able to remove memories one day. Maybe then I'll finally be able to stop thinking about that embarrassing thing I did over a decade ago that nobody but me remembers.

We can already do that on the large scale with ECT, not that it’s used for that purpose. In terms of specific memories, that’s kind of wishy washy with our current understanding but maybe
Anil Seth must get more interviews and podcast invitations. His Royal Institution and Sam Harris appearances were among the most interesting things on the subject of consciousness
Consider getting a cat, the cat will scare the dog but you will have a 100% chance that the cat will kill you and your family for seven generations. Or just get a fox
This man is so eloquent and agreeable to listen to. He was so clear, this is already a super interesting subject, but such a clarity is not a given in that field. I'm looking into what he does.
So yeah, we have only begun to understand consciousness, but we are making progress by breaking it down into different aspects and coming up with precise theories that recombine them. It might be that a deeper understanding of consciousness is very unintuitive. Neuroscientific methods (imaging, TMS, lesions...) are a new & really useful tool in narrowing down/constraining all the fancy ideas we can have about consciousness. (Looking at you, Aristotle...) Neuroscience can now explain parts of the puzzle, e.g. why you aren't conscious in deep sleep/coma/during a seizure. The phenomenology (what kind of thing consciousness is) is probably the hardest part; but remember that other sciences aren't much better at it. Physicists still don't know what the quantum wavefunction actually is, but they still can make excellent predictions about what particles will do; and without rigorous, reductionist science we would have never even known that wave functions are important. Same will go for the study of consciousness.
Sadly we don't really know what consciousness is and all of its implications, but if it helps quite recently we've recognised the anatomical structure that makes it happen which is basically a reticulated mix of grey and white matter
Ok I'm a linguistics nerd and a theater nerd too so I am in love with the precise and crisp articulation he has and I can tell he lectures bc he has great resonance and frontal projection he's able to be heard everywhere with straining his voice and just 😍
I love this! I loved Anil's presence. Brilliant without the attitude or needing to project intelligence with too much jargon. Enthusiastic and just so into teaching concepts in an entertaining, straight forward manner. What a legend. Please bring him back for more vids! He has such a great screen presence. I wish I had teachers like him for every subject growing up, and especially at university.
It’s almost becoming scary how much we’re learning about the brain, not because knowledge is bad, but because of how people might try to alter our brains
Amazing stuff. I wish this has Spanish subtitles to be able to share with my daughter who studies psychology and it's passionate about getting a master in neuroscience.
About the breath: I've been doing yoga and meditation for a long time and while I made progress, I never understood how the breath alone could calm me. Turns out I had muscles issues and wasn't using the proper muscles to breathe. Now that I know, I'm working on improving that and the more I do the more I realize how amazing the breath can be for helping tame emotions in a way that helps to make better decisions and have a better experience. I would love some info about how muscles in the body can be so tied to how the brain processes experiences and emotions.
So you are a moist biological chunk of matter determined by the laws of physics and prior events and conditions. Any chunk of matter can't change the laws of nature and prior events and conditions, so the outcome of that facts are not up to it. I wonder if psychology could be reduced to chemistry and physics psychology it self would be obsolete because to repair a machine I don't need to talk to it, I just need to fit some cables (neurons) and tight some screws. I need a mechanic not a psychologist.
@@pepedestroyer5974 No, I don't think so, because, if there's something that makes human a human, it's the culture and the society. If you try to explain something that's so complex as the human behaviour, just by the chemistry, there's a problem in the way that you're not considering the interactions in a macro scale. And, I'm sure that, if you ask any neuroscietist about it, will agree. Just take a moment and read Carlson, Pinel, Domjan, Sternberg, and you'll figure out the importance of not being reductionist. I guess, yeah, you could take about a human in terms of chemistry, neurons, neurotransmitters, autonomic nervous sistem, but you're leaving aside so many elements that explain why humans are humans. And, psychology has so many branches of knowledge, two of them a reneuro and physiological physiology.
@@Allenryan819 The brain -a material thing- is the seat of the mind, that does not implies you can reduce the psychology to brain chemistry. The "mind" has its genesis in the social interaction and in the relation between the biological genes and the practical activity we stablish with our species and the material word we born in. In resumen, yes, psychology, and neurosciences in general, take a materism approach about the mind - body problem.
The "take a deep breath" thing I think has more to do with breaking thought patterns than anything physiological. When you're agitated/anxious, your mind is fixated on something unpleasant/scary. Taking deep breaths forces you to focus on your breathing and helps take your mind off whatever was upsetting you. It's the same principle as any other relaxation or centering technique: meditation, chanting, counting sheep, etc.
To make it simple : fMRI is the measure of the BOLD signal. BOLD stands for Blood Oxygen-Level Dependant Big changes in oxygen-level in one part of the brain means that this part is more or less "active". PS : I know I made a lot of shortcuts, I just want everyone to understand the aim of the fMRI.
Is this measurement a one-time, discrete, or continuously taking? Like, is it like a single photograph or a video so that you can detect the change in measurement over time? Is the measurement has a quantitative result that you can tell how active or inactive a part of brain is, or it's more qualitative that you say a part of brain is relatively more active than the other, but can't say how active? Sorry for the many questions, I'm really intrigued
I know it's late, but I hope you also understand that drinking alcohol leads to dehydration which caused hangover headache and may harm your brain, being dehydrated. Rehydrate well and take a good care of that brain! ^^
Now I want to sit through an entire lecture on the subject. Well, I did through plenty since I took a couple of neuroscience courses but this guy would be great at lectures.
Just started my first if psych in uni and I couldn’t be happier. I love it and it’s so interesting. We actually just finished the section on memory and forgetting.
Neuroscience is so cool! It quantifies psychology (which people 100 years ago would think is impossible) and it's also ironic because we use our brains to learn about our brains!
This is one of those sciences where average people don't even know enough about the subject to ask the right questions to extract the full potential of interviewing a professional. Instead we get these silly questions which anyone could have answered.
There are many other videos out there for people who might want to look into the subject, but this is a great introduction. I think the purpose was to make it simple.
The fact that he responded to someone crying "DO YOU KNOW NEUROSCIENCE' on Twitter and explaining that they were, in fact, full of it (nicely, of course) proves to me that it's best to have a professional answer even the simplest of questions.
As a person with an eidetic memory, I promise you that forgetting is a privilege. I relive moments and the emotions associated with them every time I recall. It serves me well in my studies, but is terrible otherwise.
You seem to have missed the part where you describe what the evidence we have so far seems to suggest, and what direction research is currently moving. Saying "we don't know for sure" is a fundamental part of science.
No you don’t. I’m studying a neuroscience degree and have never taken a psychology class in my life. They’re different subjects but share similar topics
I think the biggest confusion that people have about memory is that you store them as if their files in a hard drive or something, but in reality its all connections, and having more memories and connections actually is more likely to help learn and remember more new things because the more concepts exists in your mind the least effort you need to learn familiar things. So I encourage anyone that wants to learn new languages, new fields of science, new music etc and is afraid you're cluttering your mind, go and do it, you will only help yourself.

Wish there was a question for What is Consciousness?
No one knows. It has been debated by Philosophers of Psychology for centuries
So yeah, we have only begun to understand consciousness, but we are making progress by breaking it down into different aspects and coming up with precise theories that recombine them.

If you try to explain something that's so complex as the human behaviour, just by the chemistry, there's a problem in the way that you're not considering the interactions in a macro scale. And, I'm sure that, if you ask any neuroscietist about it, will agree. Just take a moment and read Carlson, Pinel, Domjan, Sternberg, and you'll figure out the importance of not being reductionist. I guess, yeah, you could take about a human in terms of chemistry, neurons, neurotransmitters, autonomic nervous sistem, but you're leaving aside so many elements that explain why humans are humans.
And, psychology has so many branches of knowledge, two of them a reneuro and physiological physiology.
How can you study the abstract thought of the mind but believe in materialism, that the mind is nothing but brain chemistry?
@@Allenryan819 The brain -a material thing- is the seat of the mind, that does not implies you can reduce the psychology to brain chemistry. The "mind" has its genesis in the social interaction and in the relation between the biological genes and the practical activity we stablish with our species and the material word we born in. In resumen, yes, psychology, and neurosciences in general, take a materism approach about the mind - body problem.
Idk why but I already trust this dude with my life. Good man.
Mr. Voldemort masquerading as Dr. Anil Seth successfully assimilated in the muggle world!!
I knew it. Neuroscience, Math, Physics, it's all just magic
We need more videos like this on TH-cam. Thanks Wired!
This is really interesting
The "take a deep breath" thing I think has more to do with breaking thought patterns than anything physiological. When you're agitated/anxious, your mind is fixated on something unpleasant/scary. Taking deep breaths forces you to focus on your breathing and helps take your mind off whatever was upsetting you. It's the same principle as any other relaxation or centering technique: meditation, chanting, counting sheep, etc.
I didn’t wear glasses for a year and now I can identify people by their walk accurately
As a recent neuroscience grad I think this guy explains things pretty well.
Best one yet
To make it simple :
fMRI is the measure of the BOLD signal.
BOLD stands for Blood Oxygen-Level Dependant
Big changes in oxygen-level in one part of the brain means that this part is more or less "active".
PS : I know I made a lot of shortcuts, I just want everyone to understand the aim of the fMRI.
Is this measurement a one-time, discrete, or continuously taking? Like, is it like a single photograph or a video so that you can detect the change in measurement over time?
Is the measurement has a quantitative result that you can tell how active or inactive a part of brain is, or it's more qualitative that you say a part of brain is relatively more active than the other, but can't say how active?
Sorry for the many questions, I'm really intrigued
This is so fascinating, more plz 🙃👍
Watching this while hangover af...
I don’t know why but it feels pleasant to him
I know it's late, but I hope you also understand that drinking alcohol leads to dehydration which caused hangover headache and may harm your brain, being dehydrated. Rehydrate well and take a good care of that brain! ^^
Nan Wijanarko thanks man 🙏
I love this segment so much and will definitely wait for more! They teach us things very clearly about interesting topics us hoomans can't understand
This guy is awesome! His attitude is so nice.
If these are the questions that made it through the interns, I can't imagine what they rejected.
What a wonderful human being!
Yay to all psychology majors !
anyone else want to sit down with him and talk to him for hours?
i feel like hes staring into my soul
Now I want to sit through an entire lecture on the subject. Well, I did through plenty since I took a couple of neuroscience courses but this guy would be great at lectures.
I love neuroscience!
Anil Seth is a mesmerizing speeker.
As a high school psychology student, I was triggered the moment he said ‘Phineas Gage’
Ella Wakeman lmaooo same
Just started my first if psych in uni and I couldn’t be happier. I love it and it’s so interesting. We actually just finished the section on memory and forgetting.
Hypnosis is like opening the command line console to your brain.
DO NOT DO THIS.
With root access
More Anil soon, please! This was great, thank you!
I love neuroscience so much.
I just loved him! He should have a channel!
I like his ears lol
They're happy
Neuroscience is so cool! It quantifies psychology (which people 100 years ago would think is impossible) and it's also ironic because we use our brains to learn about our brains!
This is one of those sciences where average people don't even know enough about the subject to ask the right questions to extract the full potential of interviewing a professional. Instead we get these silly questions which anyone could have answered.
like asking a weather scientist basic biology 1 course questions " why does it rain? "
There are many other videos out there for people who might want to look into the subject, but this is a great introduction. I think the purpose was to make it simple.
The fact that he responded to someone crying "DO YOU KNOW NEUROSCIENCE' on Twitter and explaining that they were, in fact, full of it (nicely, of course) proves to me that it's best to have a professional answer even the simplest of questions.
As a person with an eidetic memory, I promise you that forgetting is a privilege. I relive moments and the emotions associated with them every time I recall. It serves me well in my studies, but is terrible otherwise.
I can be a neuroscientist... Just need to say we don't know about that yet but we're studying it
Viyank gnr That just mean but i think you iys true xD
that is what scientist are there for...., or you ever heard a physician say "oh yeah i can literally understand everything"
Turtles xD
You seem to have missed the part where you describe what the evidence we have so far seems to suggest, and what direction research is currently moving. Saying "we don't know for sure" is a fundamental part of science.
correctly how could you ever say for sure ?
This guy is so awesome. I'd love to see another video with him!
Some of these questions related to psychology. Do neuroscientist's also study psychology?
Moez Rehman Yep! It’s a love triangle between biology chemistry and psychology 💕
You need to study psychology in order to become a neurosciecentist
neuroscience is just another posture in psychology... so yes a neuroscientist have to study psychology first.
No you don’t. I’m studying a neuroscience degree and have never taken a psychology class in my life. They’re different subjects but share similar topics
I think the biggest confusion that people have about memory is that you store them as if their files in a hard drive or something, but in reality its all connections, and having more memories and connections actually is more likely to help learn and remember more new things because the more concepts exists in your mind the least effort you need to learn familiar things. So I encourage anyone that wants to learn new languages, new fields of science, new music etc and is afraid you're cluttering your mind, go and do it, you will only help yourself.
