All cells with mitochondria likely have the capacity to produce melatonin. Some studies in melatonin research suggest that this production stops immediately when the body / mind are exposed to light. Most melatonin is produced in our cells, and only 5% is produced by our pineal gland. As we age, this production of melatonin in cells decreases. i’m just trying to suggest a correlation.
Honestly he tends to do theoretical science more than proven science, but I prefer that because there's a lot of interesting things that may or may not be true, but he may be onto something with it. For example, staring at a far distance actually helps with overthinking and it's a valid point that looking close distance at your phone causes anxiety
Love the spirit of this video. Question everything! I'd also be curious if there's a behavioral or cognitive measure which may serve to work in conjunction with the EEG results. Something like response time or a simple cognitive assay that would provide an ability to comment on if the wakefulness from the light actually translates into something meaningful or if it's just your brain responding to the light in a reflexive way without downstream effects like improved attention and so on. Cool video! Thanks, Cody! -Kiefer
Great comment Kiefer. Yes we are going to start incorporating more of those cognitive measures into the videos as well. Let me know if you come across any good software tools to use.
Doesn't Huberman always harp on the importance of using outside light? May be an interesting future video to see what the difference between artificial light and sunlight is on yourself.
Really cool to see you put the protocol to practise and share the result - Thanks! The Click bait title is a bit lame though, and although the TH-cam algorithm favours it, I really don't think such a video needed it - Making it sound implicitly like Huberman needed to be help accountable for some wrong doing... Personally I feel automatically put off channels that use click bait points - So much of the time it overshadows the good work people do to me. All the best Cody.
Hi Cody. I would prefer to see this interview. It's interesting how vulnerable while being central to homeostasis the hypothalamus is. I had a forensic anatomy TA who would touch his soft palate with his tongue so he could run to class and sweat less giving a few minutes more of lab time. If you like meditation as a tool consider sometime air flow and temperature on the hypothalamus and not just light. Simple things aren't so obvious always. I am interested in the lights for lucid dreams. I was in the military as well but as a helicopter guy, then medical now research and maths. Good to see that. Be well.
I'm broke but I'm on the verge of splurging and getting a muse in order to quantitatively work on my meditations. Ideally I'd like to work with an integration of quest3 +muse. I'm not sure if it exists but I'd like to have an BWE device that integrated with a EEG so as to it responding to your real time brainwaves to a target level , instead of just playing a canned set of tones light flashes. I don't see that ability in any product nor do I see that being affordable. So I'm looking for a binaural beat generator that can quickly easily be fine tuned on the fly manually while using the mind monitor app
@@CodyRallMD I wonder what your thoughts are for best tools for a recovery lounge. I am currently using the Neorhythm while clients are getting a normatec compression session. My idea is to track clients from sessions to session. They come in, I test what state of frequency they are in and then add a Neorhythm to being the brain back into focus. I am thinking of introducing this to corporates in a wellness session but would like to know your opinion on which devices you recommend for this.
were you trying to prove that looking up into light would make you feel more awake or being exposed to light would make you feel more awake? Why not also have a case where you did not look up into the light, but just had the eyes open with the light source in the background and one where you looked up with no light just to make sure the effect you were seeing were not from the action of looking up alone. It is no surprise light energizes you. If you are in the dark it is usually easy to get sleepy, unless you have a lot in your mind.
When I first got onto Huberman I loved his content but the more I watched his videos I became uninterested...I'm more into meditation practices and Huberman doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable in that area...to his credit he admitted that...
I just want to say thanks for calling Huberman out. I started off as a massive fan of Andrew but gradually realized that while there is a lot of good content, there is also an incredible amount of speculation and cherry picking. I think of him more like a decent hypothesis generator of rather than a truth teller.
Overall I think he does a great job. I can understand how a little showmanship goes into making scientific data interesting. It is important to dig deeper and not accept things as dogma from thought leaders though. Myself included. Thanks for watching Haemp!
@@CodyRallMD It's more than just "showmanship" when you have an audience of a million people you have to be a bit more nuanced. What he often does is identify a real biological mechanism and extrapolates it way beyond any scientifically validated conclusion. I'd be fine if he'd then add some nuance around the counter evidence but he very rarely does. One example out of many is his scaremongering around Melatonin where he extrapolates from its role in puberty suppression and then warns his audience without even hinting to wider literature and how it directly contradicts his claims. I do agree he is better than 95% of other health influencers though. Love your channel, keep up the great work!
Huberman its a guy who saved peoples life’s. Can you say that about yourself? Just because it didn’t work for some it doesn’t mean it didn’t work for many.
@@natashat6541 I’d not heard of him saving lives. I enjoy listening to him in small doses but find he exaggerates his claims. Also, he’s said many things I simply disagree with. Even if he has saved lives, it doesn’t excuse him from misrepresenting findings or not doing his due diligence to understand something before he presents it.
Sorry to put it bluntly, but it would really help your credibility if you didn't sport print t-shirts and the hairdo of a cartoon character, spoke with the tenor of an adult and professional instead of the phrenetic nasal tone of a kid, and tried first acknowledging the weight of the individual and institution in question, then replicating and testing the experiment that led to this conclusion as a point of departure, instead of the gratuitous and somewhat petty questioning of his entertainment value and the number of his youtube channel membership, then improvising and reinventing the wheel in a home experiment. (I mean, you were testing this in your bathroom at home?! How would this produce "conclusive results.") Dr. Huberman has Pew and McKnight awards for his work in this specialty area at Stanford, so it is not like testing a sixth grade science experiment or kitchen recipe for the youtube clicks. Whatever the intention may be here, the whole tone of this video seems to be trivializing top level science and scripting a drama for an untrained audience, not scientific peers who should be part of the audience of such a cross experiment, if at all serious. So there are disconnects out the gate. The audience is unclear, this seems to appeal to a dumbed down imaginary. "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." Individuals not academically trained will watch this much like a History Channel-style sensation clip or the Hollywood gossip column of pop sci. It makes one wonder within the first couple of minutes who is this guy questioning a Stanford professor and with what superior qualications? And in the absence of a reply to that, plus the above-mentioned impressions, is it really going to be worth watching this video all the way through? Our time is precious. Got about 4 minutes of my time, which was double after the first instinct to click away, to give you the benefit of the doubt, which never came.
Great feedback. The point of the video is to show that anyone can start using these devices to do neuroscience at home. Even a silly sounding cartoon character person like me ;)
Sorry to put it bluntly Ana, but it would really help your credibility if we could agree that nobody asked for your opinion. You freely chose to watch this, which means you can also choose to leave and watch something else. That will freshen up the room for the rest of us, who are actually interested in listening and learning. Haters can't be creators and something tells me you belong to that group. Is "Intellectual Karen" a concept? It is now.
@@KarlMagnusBlindheim Well, well, look who's speaking. And now we have an "Intellectual Karl." I think Cody did fine with his own response. You were also always free to click away from my comment, if others' free speech displeases you.

Thanks Ronald! Yes I am definitely becoming more interested with the effects of light on the body as I get deeper into this research!

Definitely, lot's of practical techniques there to learn more about through testing.

Good point Anthony. I did ask Dr. Zietzer about using the SAD light for this experiment and he said it would be okay.
Muy buen video! Conoces el sistema Play Attention?, de un neurofeedback que mide la concentración? sería interesante tu análisis! saludos y gracias!

Did you increase the speed of this video? Some of the voices seem a bit higher pitched that normal.
Thanks, I noticed that a bit too. I think it might have something to do with my microphone set-up. Will have to troubleshoot.
@@CodyRallMD check if all your devices (sound interface, DAW...) are set to the same sample rate, otherwise this can happen :)

I love this! Doing actual experiments and sharing hard data
Thank you for this. He's clearly a smart dude, but a lot of it is junk.
Agreed. I don't think there is any malice there though. I think he's very much an "ideas" kind of guy and just loves to extrapolate new hypotheses.
Yes it would be unfair to believe otherwise Haemp
I don't remember him saying you needed to look up into a light source...he just said to look up.
AWESOME VÍDEO! I hope you can post more experiments like this! Thanks
Glad you liked it Francisco! Do you prefer experiment videos, tech reviews or both?
You need more subjects to get credible experiments and most trusted results... single data points in one single individual does not say a lot.
OK so is huberman against these devices like the halo2 and such?
id prefer from wide awake to slept in ten mins.
That would be nice. I am testing up the NeoRhythm Pad for sleep right now and should have the video out in July.
Hi Dr. Cody. Have you done a review of vielight?
Hubermen says that artificial light does not work as well as sunlight
I listen to podcasts a lot. I wish Cody had a podcast
How emotiv eeg headset?
More for research at the moment, I've made quite a few videos about it but will be testing the MN8 soon
Huberman is a youtube celebrity, he will not replace real medical tests
When I first got onto Huberman I loved his content but the more I watched his videos I became uninterested...I'm more into meditation practices and Huberman doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable in that area...to his credit he admitted that...
U sound pretty uneducated and dim-witted, OR SIMPLY being paid by the Pharma industrial complex…?! 🤔🤨🧐
Do you think EEG devices helps / worth the price to improve your meditation?
