Would love to see more of these quick explanation style videos on science/psychology/philosophy and literature related topics. Your method of explanation is to be admired. Don't get me wrong, my favourite hobby is game of thrones speculation, but my passion is learning.
+Jack Jamieson Cheers! Yeah I plan to do more "educational" stuff in the future. I love ASOIAF, and I think there's value in analysing it, but it's good to talk about the real world sometimes too (:
I think you speak for all of us "Jack". So many of these subjects are made boring by lousy teachers. At my advanced age, he's rocked my world with G.O.T. explanations.
Was studying for a neuropsychology exam and I find out that my favourite fiction and tv show discussion channel did educational psychology and adjacent videos in their intriguing past, I am floored and amazed and ecstatic.
I love the science episodes, I guarantee you that a teacher will show this video to her class eventually, its good enough to be the go to presentation teachers use because they can't explain it any better
This is a great breakdown! I am a a huge proponent of better understanding the brain. Traumatic brain injuries are the one injury / disease that we can likely eventually cure if we continue to gain more and more understanding. MEG is one - very productive - way of gaining that insight!
Seriously though, this summer I'm doing research in the Neuroscience department of Stony Brook University (I'm 16) and the chair of the department and her husband both work their. She does electrophysiology (looking at the brains electricity) and he does molecular biology. According to him, all she does is "squiggles" and according to her, all he does is "blobs"
Pretty good video, but it's missing a hook. I went through most of the video thinking "why do I care about this?" If you restructure the video to start with the monkey with the mechanical arm, or even Luke's mechanical arm and ask a question like "How can we make this a reality?" you get the audience much more interested.
I love this guy's voice. His explanations are so easy to understand. After his "Hamlet" tutorial, I wish he'd do all of Shakespeare's works. Along with the bible! Cheers!
In your Doppler effect video you talked about how it tells us the universe is moving further apart. I think an explanation of this would make a great video.
Your videos are fantastic! Really really easy to understand even though the topics are so complicated. Brilliant, please keep it up :) Do you think you could maybe do a video about EEG scans? Just interested. Thanks man
You had the perfect spot for a joke about Magneto there :) In any case, great video as always. You always make everything so clear and simple, keep it up :)
So the SQUIDs are arranged into a sort of helmet, I assume, which is placed on the person's head. And that helmet is -270 degrees Celsius? How is the person being examined shielded from the extreme cold of the SQUIDs?
love_otter There's a vacuum to insulate between the cooled inner bit of the helmet and the outer bit that touches the person's head. Probably should have mentioned in the vid..
Alt Shift X Very interesting stuff, thank you. I didn't imagine I'd be sat at my computer at 1:30 on a Friday night learning about magnetoencephalography, but I'm enjoying it all the same.
I know your channel for the game of thrones and other show videos but didn't expect to find a topic for my studies here lol. Still a great video though!
Good video, but a few of the points are a little off. MEG is definitely not superior to fMRI imaging in either temporal or spatial resolution. The only reason for the widespread use of MEG is because compared to higher resolution techniques, it is dirt cheap and requires much less sophisticated equipment. MEG's actually give very poor spatial resolution. The readout you get from MEGs is the cumulative waveforms of thousands of neurons, which you then need to break apart with fourier decompositions. The biggest downfall of MEG is that you can only see the outer layers of the cortex, and get very little signal from the deeper parts of the brain. (Where there is a lot of interesting things happening). As you touched upon in your video, implanted electrodes (will give you much better resolution (and it gets even better with tetrodes and/or microdrives). One misconception that you have (that is very common) is that neurons do not communicate with each other using electrical signals (with the exception of a very small subset that actually have electrical synapses). Within each neuron, yes, there is an electrical signal (which starts graded at the soma, and an action potential down the axon). However, once the terminals are reached, the electrical signal is transduced to a chemical one with the release of neurotransmitters across the chemical synapse between neurons.
you are not 100 right in this. I work for company what makes MEG machines. ( i make squids for it) and our machine cost 2 000 000 euros. Its starting to be old tech and needs so much shit around it and to produce it. Also you need so much testing. Helium and a antimagnetic room. This all adds even more to the price. We already have better squids that can measure in room temperature but it still has some proplems and they are not in use. Meanwhile CT scan machine cost have come down and a lot.
Excellent video. Great to know you can operate outside A song of ice and fire. I would love to see more of these videos. Just a slight criticism, I don't like you saying "but yeah" in the videos, sounds a little off key for some reason. Take it or leave it though, it's only a small flaw. Great content as always.
Talking about heros here are Campbells and Jungs Archetypical Hero...How Many can we check for Jon S, •Unusual circumstances of birth; sometimes in danger or born into royalty •Leaves family or land and lives with others •An event, sometimes traumatic, leads to adventure or quest •Hero has a special weapon only he can wield •Hero always has supernatural help •The Hero must prove himself many times while on adventure •The Journey and the Unhealable Wound •Hero experiences atonement with the father •When the hero dies, he is rewarded spiritually
That was very useful for me as I study Psychology and wanted to understand how MEG actually works. Can you make more videos for MRI/fMRI, PET, CAT and EEG?
Your channel is awesome i love the topics and GoT, but i would like to see your thoughts on how many seasons does GoT plan to go in HBO and if there could be a spinoff with house targaryn in the future? And please explain more about the life of Aegon Targaryen * i know i didnt write that correctly*
Please response why there are 3 helmets for MEG and what's their use. Next question is does detectors connect from computer for give output. And what is inside the MEG helmet I mean it's inside construction.
iirc the monkey had an invasive type of connection into the motor cortex. Also the aphesia disables the part of the brain responsible for producing speach, ie the patient can't contrusct it to begin with including written speach. So no amount of extra devices is gonna fix it.
kage131 well you could use it to make Prince Doran some robotic legs? or maybe a full mechsuit for Rickon to march into winterfel and just step on the boltons.
i work for one of the only company that makes them in the world and it cost 2 000 000 euros. also you need shitload helium, ( one tank is 300L) antimagnetic room etc and they all add more.
The state of mental health research and treatment is much better than it once was, but still pretty bad. I believe that in, say, 30 years, our ability to treat mental health issues will be vastly improved, partly because of technologies like this, which are only a shadow of what they will become.

"Alt Shift X", start a "Fund Me" for both "Fargo" TV show and "Goliath" on Amazon. I'd contribute, if it's a matter of money. Love you dude!
@@AltShiftX maybe a second channel, Alt Shift Y?
So this channel is Game of Thrones / ASOIAF analysis and explanations of very technical neurological examinations? Awesome, I love it.
Neuron... Euron...
Brain... Bran...
So is it safe to assume Euron = Bran ?
engladtur GET HYPE
engladtur Benjen = Magneto?
engladtur MAGNETOBOWL GET HYPE
Strahinja Krstić I thought what I wrote was just complete BS actually, but know... I'm not so sure...
billjohn RAISONBRAN BOWL 2015 GET HYPE
which episode of game of thrones is this?
dreamerx360 I think it's a theory from books rather than the show.
blinkyrem Must be about warging.
Actually, this is why Qyburn was removed from Oldtown
dreamerx360 This is how Robert Strong moves around, although the Mountain's head was removed and sent to Dorne!
I think it’s season 9

Im a teacher of a brainwaves & Behavior class and im putting this in one of my intro to oscillation lectures :)
"So there's this thing in your head.. Called a brain."
Woah woah woah, slow down will ya I can barely keep up with all this information.
Whoa.
Would like to see some explanation on current world activities and occurrences.
Completely forgot this part of Alt Shift X existed. Love it, super useful stuff!
You should do more of these videos, they fit your channel well.
As a psychology and neuroscience undergraduate student...
T H A N K Y O U!
Very interesting topic, nicely done :)
CivilizationEx Thank you (:
CivilizationEx 7 years old? heh

I love your channel dude! So cool seeing you here :)
Your explanations are BRILLIANT and I thank you mightily for them!
i saw the video in Facebook but the thing is when i tried to comment i saw that every youtuber that i like is commenting at your video
you're the best
I know the comments are flooded with Game of Thrones jokes, but I really enjoyed this topic.
"So, there's this thing in your head called a brain.."
Okay, you have my attention.
If you would have been my teacher back in school i would be so much smarter. THAT is the right way to explain things. Great Job!

Soo clear and greatly animated
One of the best channels on youtube. And I love your accent.
Thanks this actually helped me pass a psych test.
It's funny that I'm a med student applying for radiology residency who likes game of thrones and happened to come across your channel.
Very clear and concise explanation. Keep on going guys!
Really helpful for cognitive neuroscience psychology module for end of year exams thank you
Pretty good video, but it's missing a hook. I went through most of the video thinking "why do I care about this?" If you restructure the video to start with the monkey with the mechanical arm, or even Luke's mechanical arm and ask a question like "How can we make this a reality?" you get the audience much more interested.
Its definitely not aimed at you then, is it?
Thanks! This is the best explanation of MEG that I have found. Very helpful.
I love this guy's voice. His explanations are so easy to understand. After his "Hamlet" tutorial, I wish he'd do all of Shakespeare's works. Along with the bible! Cheers!
Thanks Mr. Smart person, i didnt know i had a brain in my head thing.
This confirms Cleganebowl.

That is an excellent video, presented perfectly.
You had the perfect spot for a joke about Magneto there :)
In any case, great video as always. You always make everything so clear and simple, keep it up :)
Thank you for your explanation. Neurology is one of my favorite topics
is this your presentation of your thesis in the Technicalities of Warging in ASOIAF?
I'd never heard the term 'temporal resolution' before. Cheers
Love this video as well as your GoT vids. Keep the awesome stuff coming!
Really great explanation
Excellent video, per usual. I always enjoy the humor you put into your presentations. :-)
that was so clear. thank you so much 👍
I was really interested in watching such vid as this one thanks
I love this channel.
I came for Game of Thrones, but surprisingly was not disappointed.
So the SQUIDs are arranged into a sort of helmet, I assume, which is placed on the person's head. And that helmet is -270 degrees Celsius? How is the person being examined shielded from the extreme cold of the SQUIDs?

The video was absolutely wonderful! Funny and interesting and great explanation, thank you :)
Thanks so much for this! Helped a lot :)
Huh. Didn't really expect non-GoT stuff when i subscribed. But if this is the kind of stuff you talk about... Bonus!
I know your channel for the game of thrones and other show videos but didn't expect to find a topic for my studies here lol. Still a great video though!
I miss these
Hey ˛ , great video!
m8 i am trying to revise for my neuroscience exam but all i can think about now- thanks to your voice- is game of thrones

+alt i hope you are a professor. 😀 nice, simple, clearly explained
Collaborate with scishow!! This was class
Excellent video. Great to know you can operate outside A song of ice and fire. I would love to see more of these videos.

Excellent video!
I laughed the way he said " there's this thing in your head called brain." 😂
Love these videos, could u maybe do historical events, as u have already done literature, science and psychology?
josh desbie Yeah there will probably be a history video or two some time soonish.
cool, cheers :)
studying for a clinical psychology exam, appreciated⚕
Talking about heros here are Campbells and Jungs Archetypical Hero...How Many can we check for Jon S,
•Unusual circumstances of birth; sometimes in danger or born into royalty
•Leaves family or land and lives with others
•An event, sometimes traumatic, leads to adventure or quest
•Hero has a special weapon only he can wield
•Hero always has supernatural help
•The Hero must prove himself many times while on adventure
•The Journey and the Unhealable Wound
•Hero experiences atonement with the father
•When the hero dies, he is rewarded spiritually
love your channel.
More Asoiaf! Just kidding, great vid dude! :)
That was very useful for me as I study Psychology and wanted to understand how MEG actually works. Can you make more videos for MRI/fMRI, PET, CAT and EEG?
Ahah i would never have expected a video like this, are you a biomedical engineer too? :) Where are you from?
Your channel is awesome i love the topics and GoT, but i would like to see your thoughts on how many seasons does GoT plan to go in HBO and if there could be a spinoff with house targaryn in the future? And please explain more about the life of Aegon Targaryen * i know i didnt write that correctly*
great video! thank you!
Please response why there are 3 helmets for MEG and what's their use. Next question is does detectors connect from computer for give output. And what is inside the MEG helmet I mean it's inside construction.
i've been in one of these a few times for study's at oxford.
You're a very interesting guy. Shame people only watch you for game of thrones.
Right now I'm working in an MRI and PET lab and I really want to give an MEG lab a whirl too
I'm a mri tech. I love your videos. im curious about what made you pick this topic to make a video essay about. are you in imaging?
Man I didn't know you work at the citadel, how it's going there?
Hey man, have you started on that Westworld video yet?? ;)
Muito boa. Excelente!
photonic s possible to remotely access ?
FNRI
what does this have to do with ASOIAF??
iirc the monkey had an invasive type of connection into the motor cortex. Also the aphesia disables the part of the brain responsible for producing speach, ie the patient can't contrusct it to begin with including written speach. So no amount of extra devices is gonna fix it.
0:45 Don't you mean "because the brain is dark and full of terrors?"
Thank you, super clear :)
We want more Game of Thrones videos! xD
Thank you
Now if only I could figure out how to apply the Dornish master plan. Or use it to prove where rickon Stark is.
kage131 well you could use it to make Prince Doran some robotic legs? or maybe a full mechsuit for Rickon to march into winterfel and just step on the boltons.
lmao
First comment!!! Another well done video from you.
How much is one of these machines?
i work for one of the only company that makes them in the world and it cost 2 000 000 euros.
also you need shitload helium, ( one tank is 300L) antimagnetic room etc and they all add more.
What does this have to do with game of thrones? Is the final villain a brain like starfox
hoe doe squids works?
Had one the other day. Room looked like a walk in freezer! Felt like one too! 😂 note that this video is old.
Brain Science! I love it. :)
WHAT DO THE COLORS MEAN I DONT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO
now you're talking my language!
That was awesome. And then GOT stuff?! Fuck. ASX might be my new fav thing.

Oh hello, brain
Holy shit u are smart. What have you or are you studying?
Are you a med student?
Is it bad to sleep north-south because of the earth's magnetic field affecting brain activity or is that just a myth?
That sounds like a myth to me XD
This is how Qyburn made Robert Strong
so Magneto is in our brains? 5spooky7me
HavoK -Zack- No... magnetic fields... not the mutant father of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff who is also the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
The more you know.
