- How much of our brains do we actually use? Can we really talk over the phone and drive - at the same time? And what is brain chatter? Dr. Ayelet Landau talks about her exciting research into the rhythmic nature of our perceptions
"Dr. Ayelet Landau joined the Hebrew University in July 2014 as a senior lecturer in the Departments of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences. Since 2010, Landau has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI) for Neuroscience in cooperation with Max Planck Society in Frankfurt, Germany. Prior to this she did her PhD in cognition, brain and behavior, at the University of California, Berkley.
Her laboratory utilizes non-invasive physiology methods to investigate neural mechanisms and behavioral phenomena associated with spatial attention and the perception of time"

I found this by searching gamma rhythm and Ted talks 🤓 I’m curious about the connection between gamma rhythm and mood and cognitive disorders. And since gamma rhythm is at higher frequencies and linked to memory, attention and perceptual observation. Which is what I think makes adhd bipolar autism schizophrenia etc different and the intense visual/sensory perception and the alert and wakefulness and that comes with sleeping problems. And how much it affects consciousness. And how it’s connected to meditation. So much interesting stuff I wish more people like you talked about it in a simple way and shared their knowledge and observations with us. :)
Swami Vivekananda also mentioned, in the commentry on Patanjali's Rajyoga. Understanding brain and controlling it, is one of the major task in Indian Hinduism philosophy. Great video 😊🙏🏻
I have ADD, and I would earlier in life have loved the idea of brain rhythm training but now, it would remove so many amazing skills that I have that it would feel like being dumbed down to an area of the brain I probably have no use for since - I don't use it. I don't trust myself driving so I don't drive because I know ADD drivers are way more likely to be in a car accident. But as a kid I would focus on my thoughts (daydream) or watch tv with such laser focus that I would not hear a single sound around me, such as mom or the teacher. So after being yelled at enough times I forced myself to divide my attention and always leave a trail of bread crumbs or a radar into the reality and surrounding environment. 2 things happened. I could now be spoken to if I was reading or watching tv, and my focus suffered so horribly that my grades sucked. If I had been allowed to use my focus my own way - would my grades have been better? Who knows but I was so stressed out about being yelled at for slacking off fighting my own brain. It's as sad as it sounds which is why I would have loved brain training.
But, then my life changed and I became a farmer and suddenly my attention on everything became my strength rather than weakness and my noticing of details other brains filter out I have a high success rate of keeping my animals alive since I notice extremely small differences and very weird dangers, like a nail suddenly poking out of a board after repeated creaking in a storm that could poke an eye out. My attention deficit struggles to focus on one thing because I get flooded with the things other brains filter out. I used to see it as a curse but now I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING! Because I can fill in the gaps others miss and I experience the world in a different way and that excites me very much! Besides, training my bread crumb radar has made multitasking possible. I can watch this and hear every word while keeping my ears open for sounds and changes such as speech or dogs doing something weird while keeping an eye on the tv for when commercial break is over. Or another example, I can sing in English at the same time as I chat with someone in Swedish which is my first language. How I can use 2 languages at once, no idea. One is visual and motor skills while other is the lyrics muscle memory and verbal and yet I rarely mess up the words either phone line. So I am not attention deficit because I can't do one thing at once (Like ONLY watch a movie), but hyperattention because I keep lots of attention at many things at once. I need multiple stimuli which is where stimming comes in. Stimming helps me concentrate. Excellent tool!
Ambi Cahira what is stimming ?
I relate so much. I haTe hearing anyone yell still at the age of 31 it makes me cringe with a little fear. I’m just now embracing my attention deficit issues, it’s who I am and it’s ok to appreciate the small things that almost everyone ignores, the feel of s cost, the smell of the air each day,the crickets at 3 pm by bushes near the road, etc. can we be Facebook friends? I’m Ashley Morton from Pennsylvania!
Thank you
I feel like it's like a computer processor. It has a clock that syncronizes the steps of a cpu. Each time the clock ticks, computer do something but it's too fast that we think all the stuff goes on at the same time. And the %90 of the brain that everyone thinks we don't use is like the background apps no one care about but they are essentials for you to use computer properly.
Maybe this explains how different areas of the brain can "join in" or opt-out of the conscious experience, by either being synchronized with that certain basic "attention frequency" or not being synchronized with it. That doesn't mean they have to have the exact same frequency, but perhaps neurons's action potential frequency is an integer multiplication of the basic frequency such that the overall electric activity creates a "whole", and those brain areas that are processing things at a different frequency (that does not harmonize with the main one), are not "conscious".
What frequency do fricken screens emit right before bed and what about fluorescent lights at work, when I need to be in beta!?
i wonder about meditation and focused attention exercises? i would guess there no change in rhythm when paradoxically one thing becomes no-thing yet it feels so much better
Depends on the person, If you are a thinker and you like using your brain then I would say there's nothing better to train your focused attention than reading a book or learning new things that will really get your brain going.
If you don't really like it than yea meditation is the second best(my opinion)
Good luck!
סופר מעניין!
@10:15, Not true in general. What is true is the fact that driving is semi-automatic in most of the cases. You don't have to pay attention all the time. So talking to somebody or listening to something does not require full attention at all time, or even a few times a second as we implies. Brain (and other parts of nervous system) has lots of unconscious processes happening at the same time. The most extreme, and I'm not equating it to driving of course but it can give you something to think about, is walking and talking at the same time. You can pay attention to what you say and walk at the same time because walking is typically handled by the spinal cord only unless you want to change the direction or if there is a trip hazard for which you need some higher brain function and potentially the attention.
תודה. למדתי מידע שכנראה יכול לעזור לי (מחלים מדימום במוח)
בהצלחה חבר! התמדה ועבודה קשה זה שם המשחק.
ADHD. That is why i am watching this vid

You could have gotten to the point more quickly.
Attention seeking slag. She saw the opportunity, she took it and wrecked it.
This is absolutely painful to watch I'm almost ten minutes in and not a single point has been made its just some girl rambling about her kid at the fair.
