V.S. is one of the most respected minds in all of neuroscience. His name is often uttered in the same breath as some of the most enduring names in the history of science. His insightful experiments, coupled with his ability to boil the complex down to the super simple, has made him one of the most sought after lecturers living today. He has done multiple TED talks and, like Michael Faraday, Thomas Huxley, and countless Nobel Laureates before him, he has had the immensely grand honor of being invited to give a Friday evening discourse at the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
Additionally, he was the Gifford Lecturer of 2012, an honor reserved for history's brightest minds that dates back to the 1800s and has included such legendary figures as Niels Bohr, Roger Penrose, Werner Heisenberg, and Carl Sagan. He obtained his PhD from Trinity College at Cambridge, received two additional honorary doctorates, as well as the Henry Dale Medal. Richard Dawkins once called him "The Marco Polo of Neuroscience." He is the Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition, a distinguished professor with a Psychology Department and Neurosciences Program at UC San Diego and is an adjunct Professor of Biology at the Salk Institute. V.S. is also the best-selling author of The Tell-Tale Brain, Phantoms in the Brain, and A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness.

Rama is a reason why I'm studying neurosciences, literally! The genius of our times and the most underrated scientist.
Man, I agree! He's phenomenal.
Greatest, yet simple.
likewise. shoulders of a giant!
@@TomBilyeu would you say "disorders" such as "anxiety" would not be a negative thing as a disorder but more in less a way your brain has created a new pathway for your mind to take control of your body? As an example I suffered with anxiety to the point where my nose would bleed and I would fear that I'm dying and until I accepted that F@#$ it I might die who cares and actually researched the disorder I realize that anxiety helps slow down my logic but yet speeds up the calculations on what I say and do.
I want to apply this to DL , how to proceed
Very refreshing to see someone whose success is not measured in the number of items sold, games won etc, but sometime who is humbly leaving his passion day by day, helping people and finding time to appreciate poetry. He feels complete and happy, and driven more by curiosity and compassion rather than desperate will to make an impact on the world. So instead of asking him how to manipulate your brain for practical reasons I would really ask him how to be so happy and not to be distracted by the conventional image of success
Thank you. Somebody needed to say this.
This is so beautifully written
Hands down the best comment I've stumbled upon on of all the internet!
beautifully written
What makes you happy? Not the materialistic way because it lasts for very little time. Neither the substances coz those also fade away. Where the satisfaction comes from? Maybe upanishads have an answer.
Please let your guests have more say Tom,after all, they’re here to impart their priceless knowledge. Thank you.
totally agreed.
1.Our brains are modules that interacts with itself, the environment we are in.
2. We can manipulate and fool our brain to be free and successful.
3. You must be creative and spend time with creative people.Poems and Metaphors boost creativity.
4.Solutions for all your problems are simple and they are in plain sight.
5.If you learn something new ask why.
Thank you!
Does it say anything about how with regards to number 2?
Yes ask why and end up knowing it did not come from me but through me. But where did this originate?
@ A thought is an electrochemical event taking place in your nerve cells producing a cascade of physiological changes.
This is true!
Hands down. You choose the best people to interview.
Thank you!
@@TomBilyeu fuc you tom
thank you for interviewing this great man!
Watching in 2020. Appreciate how Tom Bilyeu has improved his interviewing skills and his show overall since this one.
This is the best RUclips channel ever. This program should be on CBS or ABC. Better than 60 Minutes.
Thank you! So glad you like it!
Yes i agree
I've been following VSR for the last 4 years. There's not one talk or interview if his that sounds mumbo-jumbo. He makes complicated stuff so accessible - including the books he writes. He has an amazing way of making the complex so entertaining. I also absolutely admire your ability to engage someone like VSR into giving a provoking understanding of this mystery called our brain. I think we just witnessed one of the most influential scientists of our times. Congratulations Tom, on such a wonderful presentation.
Thank you! So glad you liked it! VS is amazing!
Ramachandran once again demonstrates the artful and creative brain potential
That's Rama for you!
Wow, Tom is a really good guest!
LOL
hahaha
Dr.Rama's stare is so intense and powerful. Genius!! Tom, you are doing a fantastic job as an interviewer.
Ikr
He has Graves causing exopthalmos.
@@priyamohan3414 I didn't know about graves till I saw your comment. Thanks for sharing!
Rama is an absolute genius. Thanks Tom, this episode is fantastic!
Agreed! Rama is phenomenal.
This is the probably my top pick on youtube when it comes to content that is imperative for self growth. Thank you for staying informed and finding it necessary to interview these brilliant minds.
I really love these interviews and I respect Tom for doing this but if I may leave a constructive feedback.. It would be really great if we can hear less of the interviewer and much more from the interviewed. Thank you.
Thanks for the constructive criticism! And if you watch my more recent episodes, I think you'll be very happy. ;-)
Tom keep doing you! Lol. The day I stumbled on your channel, it completely changed my life. I make sure I watch atleast one of these interviews every day. So much free knowledge out there. Best channel I have come across! Thanks so much
John Kim I thought he did a Great Job in Story telling and insight..😎✌️
@@robertwolf3382 I agree Tom is amazing and changed my life too and should not change how he interviews his guest - let's show gratitude that we have someone like Tom -which is free - love from UK
@@TomBilyeu I admire your receptiveness to the well meant criticism. But I understand your input impulse as this type of interesting and mind blowing material makes it very difficult to contain one's enthusiasm. Totally overwhelming. Thanks for doing this interview. I have just discovered you and am glad!
This just gets me crazy excited to explore the potential our brains have! Great episode!!!
Yes! It is a universe unto itself. Glad you liked the ep!
New Future Builder I agree!
james dean and keep in mind that for the most part it's all about that thin layer on the surface ;-)
Yeah Man, this is a great channel to discover new philosiphers whom you could learn a th8ng or two from.
haha me too.
Hi Tom, I accidentally stumbled upon this wonderful interview. Rama is absolutely awesome. You too. I found you at your best during your last but one question and subsequently. I found you cutting short your interviewee at times when he was going to make some beautiful statements and some wonderful gestures too. I know it is your enthusiasm, but it would bd better for you as an anchor to make your guest speak more.
This wonderful clinician has his office just up the hill from our home. Although I'd been diagnosed with three so-called, "suicide diseases", including trigeminal neuralgia, for which surgery & irradiation had proved ineffectual, we were watching a local PBS documentary on which Ramachandran was the central expert. I'd had enough of neurological pain & problems but whilst watching this man, who worked so close to our home, describe yet another condition which I had & which was later confirmed in a clinical setting that I also had two different kinds of synesthesia.
Your enthusiasm makes these interviews Tom!!!!
Thank you!

@@TomBilyeu I think you and your shows are amazing and I am so grateful for the free lessons on RUclips
- please come to UK
"Hang around poets." Excellent.
Ramachandran and Mr. Bilyeu in the same room makes for an incredibly insightful listen. Bless your souls
Omg look at his eyes, so Intelligent!
Looks like he's seeing the person's soul while listening to him.
MsZawee Who?
Tom?
Great episode (Y) I started making notes and then I realized that I was writing down the whole video :D
Haha! I love that! Rama has that effect on me as well!
Wow! What a gentle persona Chandra exudes. I was riveted to this talk and can't wait to listen to him again on the Ted Talks. Tom this is probably the best interview. Your interviews educate us. Thanks for bringing these great minds on your show
I clicked because I LOVE Ramachandran but it turns out I was actually wanting to hear more about this interviewer's mind.
Amazing start to the new channel :) I've really been waiting for you to come back, thanks so much Tom, this episode will be playing through my head at least several more times this month to digest all the info and possibilities. Thank you so much!
So glad you liked this episode! VS Ramachandran has been such a huge influence on me. His work is incredible!
sometimes i'm put off by tom's interruptions
but many other times i'm actually glad he asks the questions he asks
he brings it back into the practical and the applicable, which is the whole point of this show (actualizing potential, not just knowing you have it)
yes, by using himself as an example and relating it to his experience...
but this is still helpful because we can put ourselves in his shoe or interpret his experience, and it's better than hearing just the theory in a vacuum
anyway, amazing insights by V.S. Ramachandran
This is some really amazing content ! I LOVE the power of the jelly between our ears, and the fact that there is still so much to discover ! Thank you to the whole IT team for making these videos !
I'm with you on that one! There's so much to learn! It's incredible. I love studying the mind.
AWESOME!!!💖🐴🐴🐴💖. That's exactly how Equine Therapy works. I met a 3 year old girl who couldn't walk or talk. And now she can. Her brain didn't tell her legs to walk. But. When she rode the horse. Her body engaged the brain!!! She started crawling and talking. And eventually she could walk. Insurane will pay for therapy. But not equine therapy. Pray Insurane catches on! 🐴🌸🐴🌸🐴🌸
That's such a cool story.
Excellent interview on brain how it works. Great insights and experiences from Dr Ramachandran. My daughter has been so much interested in Neuroscience, now I am glad after seeing this interview that she has chosen a great field to explore. I hope she will get a chance to interact with great achiever Dr Ramachandran at some point in her career. She is completing her under graduation in Biomedical in couple of months.
Thats how ancient Indians used to learn in Sanskrit, Everything is in poems. Even science and technology
And Mathematics, etcetera!
and medicine
Same thought
Subhashit it to learn
Yes, sir! The Fibonacci system derives from the prosody of the Vedas. Fascinating shit.
Oh my god, I learned so much from this video. BEAUTIFUL. thanks!
When I need to prepare myself for speaking in public, I listen to your motivational videos just like how you listen to Jay Z. Thanks for doing all these Tom.
I love the way he rolls his R's.
;-)
Ah, yes! No one can say "fusiform gyrus" better!
That's a different kind of Indian accent, I myself had use subtitles to understand what he was saying, he was a little fast.
Wow. Music as a bridge between left and right atmosphere. I like it.
I have always loved studying the brain and its functions, and have been told for years that if you are an accountant you are naturally horrible at art/creativity because the brain 'doesn't work that way.' Well, I stopped being an accountant after 20 years to pursue my true passion of being an artist.I am 2 years in on a full time basis of it. Artists are people that manipulate their brains in a way to see what is ACTUALLY there rather than what our brain 'fills in' and tells us is there... and then puts that reality on paper/canvas. From a young age I have taught my son how to use that way of thinking and he has become quite the artist.
Anyway, I said all of that to say this... thank you for bringing on people who dig below the surface and spell out the real truths of what it takes MENTALLY to make your physical body respond to what you are trying to accomplish. Powerful.
I am German and yes, we do have a sense of humour ! At least two weeks per year we do. Greetings from Munich
One of the best episodes ever!
He is brilliant, and directly proportional to his humility.His incessant curiosity is visible in his eyes. Wish I could meet him in uk!
I'm inspired in going to be a medical doctor so I can innovate the field of medicine and help create astonishing medical breakthroughs.
Dont give up, please!
Tom, another excellent show! Thanks for sharing Dr. Ramachandran with us. I'm so fascinated by the brain and our ability to trick, train and use it to our advantage. I've already done this in many aspects of my own life with great success. It's exciting to be around others with such passion for the science and art of understanding. I can't wait to check out more of both your and Dr. R's content!
You and I share that fascination with the brain! So glad you liked Dr. R. He's amazing!
To say he is supersmart is an understatement. Tom let him speak a bit more :) But thanks for calling him on the show.
When I was young I saw the movie Osmosis Jomes, this gave me the ability to visualize my white blood cells as police that have a captin in ny brain, and I pictured that all my life and I have been sick less than 10 times in my 37 years, I always got perfect attendance in school and work. The few times I did get sick it never lasted very long. I love the power of imagination, it really has saved me a lot of sickness, I am so lucky I saw that when I did!
Extraordinaire to understand the brain with your brain and to think with yours how to change the brain and we are mostly carrying about us from the neck down, but this is limited somehow, also related to brain. Removing brain limitations remove all of your limitations.
Yes, indeed! Remove your mental limitations and you really are free.
Freaking Amazing!!! I can't tell you how GRATEFUL I am for what you do and the people you bring on. Inside Quest, Impact Theory present Quantum Leaps into consciousness and the desire for expression and introspection. I now believe that it's not that humans are evolving, but rather finally discovering what we are, and what we have always been capable of but have oppressed. Anyway, It's like someone connecting my thoughts and theories and questions and presented them outside my head in a rational form. AMAZING!! THANK YOU!!
So glad you liked this episode! VS was a game-changer for me. He's amazing.
For years I suffered with painful heart burn. It disturbed my sleep and caused no end of discomfort. Doctors put me on esomeprazole to reduce acid. It helped a little. During a holiday in Thailand I went to a pharmacy to buy some. The Thai pharmacist asked me if I'd been tested for helicobacter pylori. No. When I told her I came from Perth in Western Australia she smiled and said it was two Perth doctors who received the Nobel prize for discovering how to cure this and was amazed that my doctor hadn't done this for me. She gave me a course of antibiotics and esomeprazole which I finished in 2 weeks. I've never had heartburn or indigestion since then and I can eat anything I want.. That was 10 years ago. No antacids, no medication since then.
I’m obsessed 😍🤩 with human Brain 🧠 and anything related to it Neuroscience, Psychology , Epigenetic’s etc. I spent thousands and thousands of hours consuming all the knowledge is out there and every time surprised 😮 how much we don’t know. So grateful and thankful for Anyone who teaches something new every time and having opportunity to learn all this priceless information for free literally. Thanks to Tom and the guests .
I have to say before I watched this I wasn't too sure if I was going to be interested in nerdy brain stuff but DAYYUM SON this stuff is nutssss. keep it coming Tom
Glad you like it! VS is aaaaaaamazing!
Thanks for sharing.. Much love & gratitude.. God bless..
Wow! so comforting: after many years of procrastinating on writing my autobiography-A bridge to Actualising Self-full love, I finally resorted to accomplishing 2 volumes, using lots of poetry which seemed natural to relate a dramatic story in a way I had not seen done before. It certainly showed helped me realised my creative on a whole new level. And this thing about seeing numbers in colours, is something I experience so often...Thank you both so much for this information.
Super f****ng cool!!
Thanks Tom, for the great content!
Impact Theory is a 'must have' in my mornings!
Another great interview. Tom's earnestness at the end convinced make me look into VS's books and other content. Love it!
This was so fascinating 😋 i m literally becoming mad ,curious about my future and working on my dreams .Thanks Tom!.
Tom your interests seem to align exactly with mine - your's is the only youtube channel I've ever subscribed. I've been so interested in the TED talks by Ramachandran. I am a lawyer and a published novelist and this talk reminded me of my fascination with metaphor and the power of language- how it uncovers the workings of the brain. Lakoff's Metaphors we live by is a brilliant read on this which came to mind. How the brain works, how it interprets the world really isn't what we think. Keep going. I'm really into your work.
Love this topic! So amazing and interesting! Love how you manage the conversation Tom, you are great man! I feel like i'm in the conversation with you guys. Thanks!
Tom, thank you so much for this amazing interview!!
One of the best interviews I have seen and heard. It was both of practical use and entertaining. Thank you both so much.
One of the most enlightening interviews ever! Thank you, Tom!
absolutely astonishing! i love the way ramachandra explains everything in explicit detail!
I just found this RUclips Channel today. It is already my favorite!
vs ramachandran is the best! Really like this
I think Tom Bilyeu did construct his interview very well and always does!!! I have watched all of his shows and he always shows the utmost respect to all of his guests - he is just enthusiastic about having this amazing Neuroscientist on his show. It's his show. Thank you again so I can now buy the books you mentioned. Tom is amazing and changed my life too - let's show gratitude that we have someone like Tom -which is free to watch - love from the UK
Off to the Ted talks. Thank you!
Cheers!
A great example of someone using another person just to talk about himself. Your personal life doesn't really matter, Tom. It is not relevant. You have a great humble scientist in front of you and you keep refering to yourself as if the show was a way to convince us of how great you are. An ego trap.
My fav neuroscientist,,,Thanks...
You need to add Ben Merzenich and Norman Diodge.
I LOVE this interview... Creativity, Poetry of Love and Life, Laughter, and the relational beautiful connectors that I find in everything that exist in nature and me... These have been exactly the keys of what fuels me in life in the most profound way so much so that I don't think I could survive without them... I find they are THAT fundamental, necessary, and epically vital to me... So this was a wonderfully grounding thing to hear... Thank YOU!!!
Mind blown! A sincere Thank you to you and Rama
Ramachandran will have my brain for research!
This was so reassuring! You can make major improvements by working on your perceptions and beliefs! Thank You, Tom!
Tom, I have watched you interviewing so many interesting and inspiring people, and thank you for that. For me the most inspiring and refreshing person is yourself !!!!
You are a truth seeker, with amazing insights, every time again,
Thank you !
14:00 I wanted to know what Rama was going to say about humour but Tom derailed the conversation by talking about himself and the audience loses the chance to gain Rama's insight
I was about to say the same..He made it about himself for no reason
@@TheGamingg33k 😣 now we'll never know what Rama was going to tell us about humour and the brain. Sigh smh
Hey Tom, love your work but please let Ramachandran speak. This man has so much to offer
Well, Tom's journey began with this man... It's gonna be interesting
This was a great interview. Thanks Dr. Ramachandran. We learn a lot about Tom.
Awesome interview Tom, The interview is very informative...
Thank you! Glad you like it! I love Rama!
He still did not tell you a practical way to change your state , to manipulate ourselves. He is passionate about poetry!
Yeah, I found his love of poetry fascinating! He's such an interesting guy!
I believe he is passionate about peotry because it is all about bridging and metaphors. Poetry ties in with your senses that send signals to your brain. That in return causes your brain to react in a way that can improve your state but also worsen it. Its all about working in unison with your environment to overcome. That's where the example of having the mirrors at a right angle and staring at the bridge of your nose comes in. You'd need practice to overcome the fact that you won't be able to move your head.
Hope this helps!!
I have synesthesia and what’s crazy is that I see the number 5 as red! Insane that he said that!
Back awhile, as a teenager, my late and seemingly innocent mother comforted a couple of my well-vocalized complaints concerning elder assholes by assuring me that if I just hung in there, I would would surely win for survival alone. I found that surprisingly macabre and astonishingly cool ❤️
Neuroscience is the study of how nervous system develops its structure and what it does.
I'm just learning english but I have say this is really fascinating and puzzle me about the mirror box. the box looks fantastic. thank you for spread this knowledge with us.
It's my honor!
I absolutely love Impact Theory, episodes like this one are so helpful in continuous growth and having an understanding.
Truly does have an IMPACT!
That's awesome! Thanks for commenting, Shane!
Hi Shane . Thanks a lot for your plc lessons. I have seen a lot of your plc tutorials. I accidentally saw you in this comment section.
Amazing man...everything was new to me in this talk....WOW!
Rama is incredible! So glad you liked this episode!
Hello Tom,
I am listening when someone like you is talking about the importance of knowing the brain for self-development. I have been resisting this for a long time even though I've always been interesting in biases. Now you convinced me, I'm going to put this knowledge on my path. I was too focused on the psychological part. I underestimated the importance of the hardware. Thanks.
Thank you you soo much guys! Much love from Germany!
This team has nothing but love for Germany! Germany is our biggest non-native english language country. Love you guys!!! Thanks for watching!
Lol
Amazing episodes . All are requested to view it to understand what is brain and the brain wed.
I am so glad I saw this today. And I and so happy that you don't have audience in the studio. ITS BETTER WITHOUT IT. I love your shows, your enthusiasm, your drive to REALLY GET IT, I love your relation with Lisa and I love Lisa. Its better with only U, or only both of u, because is the impression of intimacy, which is needed if you and we need to focus.
Yes. Consciously decided to apply placebo effect is working. I have used it once. It's all about allowing yourself to accept that you are OK. Sound simple yet still undiscovered, ignored or not believed by people. I suffered from panic attacks.
What a brilliant person. I have no words to describe how blown away I am with him. I want to know HOW to do some of what he is talking about?
Visualization is a technique used by spiritual practitioners as well. As a musician, If I want to create a new melody, I try to visualize it, not necessarily, I will get it, by the triggered thought process continues and it will click at an interaction with situation or nature or just while driving. Fascinating interview. Loved it.
Tom's questions and inputs are so insightful. Since I love his creative mind in drawing from readings and intuitive insights, I appreciate all his interjections of person experience and putting concepts in context in an approachable and conversational style. The comments the criticize his approach is absurd. This is his style and his show, which some people really enjoy and love.
I must also say Dr. Ramachandran was also fascinated with the practical applications that Tom is honing in on with razer focus.
I love your interviews Tom. You shouldn’t feel guilty about saying “manipulating your brain” our brains are manipulated from day one. You are your interviews are helping us to re- manipulate it back in our favor. Thank you
Wow just simply wow.
Great scientist. Passionate with his science.
Looked up Ramachandran so I could actually hear him talk.
just 37.6 K views!!!! this should be viewed by billions.
India and jews have produced some of the greatest and brightest internationally famous people in various fields. Kudos to them🙏🙏🙏
Super fascinating interview!! How is there 36 thumbs down on this?! Smh
Did anybody notice he (Dr.Ramchandran) barely flips his eyelids.... continuously open with wide eyebrows throughout!!
Like osho
yes...you are right, he hardly blinks. I am tempted to call him a genius - a word that I use very sparingly!
Gosh why did I come across your comment. Now all I can notice is his eyes and I am so waiting for him to blink.
@@saileejadhav1711 he won't!
He should interview him again
Such an AMAZING interview! I never heard before of Ramachandran, but am a Dual Dominance trainer (LearnLefty.com) and am studying how the Corpus Collosa grows. Funny, I lived in San Diego for 14 years and have been on UCSD campus many times, which is such a beautiful campus next to Torrey Pines. A must visit for out-of-towners (but no 'Zonies, haha). Geisel Hall is one of my favorite buildings and is named in honor of Dr. Suess.
