It's no longer 2019, it's been over a year, and yet Mind Field is still free for all.

let me rephrase it in a better words.
EVERYONE FUCKING LOVES THIS SHIT!
@Sassy The Sasquatch The Procrastinating Bunnies.
He said it was free in the last video... You guys really don't pay attention huh?
I’ve always respected Michael so much for his active listening techniques. This was something that took a lot for me to learn to do as a child because of undiagnosed ASD but he never interrupts anyone, and always lets them finish their thoughts before jumping in. It’s so inspiring to watch someone with so much pride and enthusiasm - power - in the room, who doesn’t interrupt others continuously.
Vsauce: "Wow, your skin condition went away!"
Girl: "Yup! All thanks to your machine!"
Vsauce: "Actually, it never did anything. It was off. You healed all by yourself!"
Girl: "Oh..." **Nervously scratches arm**
I do always wonder if any of those kids came across a Michael meme, remembered his face, found mind field, saw the episode and thought "what the fuck? My life is a lie!"

Michael: The dog was not a very good actor
Dog: You fool, i was acting like a bad dog so i get to eat more cheese
A dog that acts as a bad dog for it's own benefit, in real life, actually is a bad dog rather than a good dog.
@@FireyDeath4 however a good dog acting as a bad dog acting as a good dog acting as a bad dog to eat more cheese is still a good dog.
@@FireyDeath4 All dogs are good dogs.
@@catdisc5304 considering that you deemed the dog good before going through the string makes the dog a 'good dog' by default, whereas FireyDeath4 just said 'A dog' without giving it a good or bad tag.
Perhaps. It depends on the morality of the converser, since morality and ethical alignment are entirely subjective and arbitrary to existence and it's significance. You could say that, no matter what, all dogs are good dogs, as long as you care about literally nothing else when it comes to situations normal humans would see as dire extremes. And if that were the case, I could assume that the goal of your existence is exclusively to ensure dogs never go extinct. Which they will, but that doesn't matter: the longest time is good enough.
I hope Vsauce stays around for a long time. I love the science you do and wish I could be apart of it.
You can just work hard
I have epilepsy and for some reason something that happens after I have a seizure is that I usually get upset about red. I have freaked out that there isn't anything red neat me, and I've also freaked out that I don't know what red is, and I've freaked out that there is red things around me. Human beings and brains and colours and how they interact are totally wild haha.
thats fascinating
Usually, red should be a more calming color, if you're exposed to it in a non-threatening way. For instance, red light. Lowest visible light on the color spectrum before infrared. Red light therapy is a real thing, that fights inflammation, helps regulate body processes, helps with sleep, etc.
Blue = probably more calming because we think of air, water, breathing, and "Blues" music, which would more likely mellow someone out, than amp them up.
It shouldn't come to us as any shock that we're easily tricked.
Michael: posts three Mind Field seasons

Okay so I'm totally not crying at the kids after they managed to get better. That kid saying he no longer has migraines, & now he's actually excited for high school, broke me.
& if you think I'm being ridiculous, wait until you have a child of your own. My 3 year old son has had to go through so much since he was born, & the feeling of seeing your child happier & able to live the life they want is so powerful. This whole field of "curing children through placebo" deserves all the grants & all the Nobel prizes.
It’s not really the life they want if you lie to them about the life that they’re experiencing, but you know that!

Watch a bunch of science guys laugh at a kid on the inside
mind field was, for a lack of a better term, a surreal experience for me. Everything about it was high quality, intuitive, and at the same time many of the subject of these episodes are still so mysterious for all of us, others having real life applications. This, this is what i absolutely love about science
Minefield is free!
Or is it?
What exactly...IS free?
*lifts one eyebrow*
Elham Popal mindfield
Why would I want a "minefield"?
I have already watched mind field when Michael made this free. In only 2 days
You ever been in a mine field
This man is going OUT OF HIS WAY to provide FREE information to everyone. People will get to see these videos even after Mind Field gets behind the pay wall after three months.
This effort is definitely laudable.
After Mine Field becomes paid content again on January 1st, I’ll just go back to watching Michael’s 2013 videos.
Help me get 1000 subs yes
What effort did he put in? This wasn't a decision by RUclips?
@Alexander Supertramp I didn't know asking questions was ungrateful, I'm sorry. I don't see any evidence that he bugged RUclips about anything, he knew the show was a RUclips Premium show when he made it. And he didn't go "out of his way" make all of his content. They were videos he just wanted to make, so he made them
@@pegamationproductions6062 me and my friends made an archive of all mindfield episodes in seasons 1-3 so we can watch after it is paid
1:20:58 im so glad you mentioned this!! I have to admit throughout a lot of these mind field episodes that involve external participants I was thinking how much geography and ability to commit time would be selecting for a particular type of person.
Fun fact: all mind field episodes has no *Hey Vsauce, Michael here!*
Some of them have ,,Hey Mind Field, Michael Stevens here" tho
:(
But they do have "And as always, thanks for watching", so that's something
He said it tho
That's literally the only flaw you can find this show otherwise is perfect in everyway
This is just a trailer to the Michael Stevens dating game

I applied to be a fake nurse but my fake degrees werent qualified for the position. Im now going to fake night school to pursue my dreams.
fake people are nice.
As a drug addict, I really wish Michael would make a video about addiction, and the science of it. It'd possibly bring light to the fact that we don't really choose to be addicts.
i feel the 100% same way
Hey, just wanted to let you know that I hope you are well.
The first time you took the drug you chose to be an addict. Now stop playing the victim card and blaming other innocent people for telling you what you are.
@@thedislikebutton1907
You don't have the slightest clue what is going on in other people's lives. I myself am not an addict anymore but I used to be one a few years ago due to some major hardships in life and you of all people should know that we didn't choose for it to be this way. It takes a lot of self control to get over drug addiction and some people may or may not have the strength to overcome it. My life has improved significantly due to another person lending out their hand and making appreciate the positive aspects of life rather than the negative ones. We all are different individuals with different beliefs, experiences, strength, weakness, etc. at the end of the day, even I dislike a situation where a person suffering with addiction just give up on any hope of overcoming it. But instead of making light of someone going through a difficult situation we could help them get better and it is the least thing we could do. Have a nice day :)
@@nezukochan471 Staying addicted isn't an easy choice to avoid making, but initiating the addicting behavior is, you choose to do drugs for the first time you choose to drink you choose to overeat you choose to play video games you choose whatever, the first time doing it you choose it, and that's what dislike's saying. You can get over an addiction, with a metric fuckton of effort, you CAN choose to not be an addict anymore, it's just hard as hell. But absolving others of their blame for their own addiction is not going to help, they fucked up, and they're dealing with the consequences, telling them that they never fucked up'll just keep them from putting in the effort to get better. People don't get better by being told what they wanna hear they get better through taking earnest criticism.
I wonder if Michael realizes how powerful his beard is. He's like an ancient Greek philosopher, but for hard science.

This is great stuff. Not sure why some people focus on the "deception" aspect given that the researchers are up front with what they are doing. And the fact there are positive impacts on lives of the young people, not a bad outcome. Hope they are still doing well.
compared to the risks of an actual neurological procedure, this is really smart for the types of cognitive issues on display
I'm so glad he made this, it's been such a powerful revelation - especially the part where he explains why the experiments in earlier Mind Field episodes didn't produce the most 'sensational for TV' results; it's truly incredible to see now the work he's put behind the series considering he started out just as a RUclipsr and now he's actually highlighting fascinating studies into fields like placebo that researchers don't want to pursue, I mean the man has already drastically improved the quality of life for some of those kids and their families by extension. One of the most underrated content creators alive, this man.

I rlly dunno if anyone has made an explanation on the "how chinese ppl associate with red" topic but in short there was a legend about a certain monster called "年" (which, I guess you can translate it directly into "year") that basically hunts people especially small children during New Year. People find out that it is scared of the color red, so they just put red things everywhere like the lantern, envelopes nd firecrackers stuff like that (it's also afraid of loud noises)
and that protected people from the monster by scaring it away, since then the color red is associated with luck and joy and almost some sort of safety in chinese culture (especially to the older generation who directly absorbed this very big part of our cultural tradition)
1:00:00 I definitely believe the machine is a huge part of the belief that they will get better. They are not told it will heal them but In some way it’s definitely implied. Kids are more impacted by events than just words In my personal opinion

Oh wow
I think one of the reasons red is so salient and attention grabbing also has to do with our physiology. We only have RGB cones in our eyes, but blue is so predominantly the sky, and green predominantly related to grass/foliage, which leaves red as the only remaining ‘pure’ color to use that is not overly stimulated in our environment.
You made this comment 2 years ago, just wanted you to know you made someone just go "OHH that's so smart!"
Innit
The non-verbal autistic part was a bit rough. Just because they're not speaking doesn't mean they don't know anything, or that they don't understand speech. A placebo isn't contingent upon the organism being a "normal" human, or even human at all.

I think the biggest issue people have with placebo and hypnotic type of stuff is; that they feel embarrassed and humiliated when they find out it was their own brain. Alot of people dont know just how powerful our own brains are.

I was 9 years old or so, my late father came home early and i was watching tv instead of studying, so i did the usual, play asleep.
He came into the room, i can hear him looking at me, yes, i can hear his looks, i was scared shitless, but he was the kinda man that would make you laugh and fill you with love, but at the same time fill you with fear if you do something wrong.
So he was looking at me and spoke to my brother, saying "he is not asleep, he keeps his mouth open when he sleeps", and you guessed it, i slowly opened my mouth thinking that they wont notice somehow if i do it slowly enough, but instead i hear him burst with laughter.
A good memory.

Yes, it's probably not just a nice move from them. Still, that's a win win situation, since we get free episodes and they get more money.
Just watch it or download it
@@geisbuhlaron6969 or both
phil of blood I prefer downloading and NOT watching my pirated films
"I worked on the Fear episode on season 4"
So it's confirmed?!?!?

How have I not seen anyone comment on this? I want to see all that fanfiction, regardless of how good or bad it might be.

Thank you for helping these kids. As a child I was in hospitals a lot. I read a lot about the power of the mind and manipulation of the body through the mind on a scientific approach and it keeps amazing me
Thank you for everything you do in helping educate human-kind Micheal ❤
44:00 ok I'll reveal it then lmfao. It's tiny piece of pencil lead temporarily attached under his right thumbnail.
The sleight of hand involved is loading/unloading the pencil lead (uncomplicated when the only person you need to fool doesn't know they're involved in a magic routine), and making sure you keep your hand moving instead of statically holding the clipboard in the same place the number was written.
Yoo, I didn’t know those exact details but that’s pretty much what I guessed
Wow. That sounds awfully complicated! I don't think the average person is cut out to be a magician 🤣
i see you just HAD to stretch it past 10 minutes.
just came back 5 months later. had no idea this whole thread happened here until i came to rewatch this.
Michael: "Should I accept death?"
Every high school and college student: "Join the club, man."
I'm REALLY curious how placebo psychedelics would affect me. I've tripped a lot and its such a surreal well, trip, that idk if my brain could simulate it and make me fall for a placebo.
I love you Michael! You're the best RUclipsr!! We all learn so much from you!! Thank you!👏💗🙏
michael, you really shouldn't spoil us like that
we might become used to this great content
Gahmuret Van Begonia he used to spoil us a lot. After the long break we deserve it : )
Placebos are amazing, the only time I know of experiencing one was a year or so ago. I had recently started playing trumpet, and lost one of mouthpieces. My dad found says mouthpiece after a few months, and I thought it was smaller than my current one (smaller mouthpieces make higher notes easier.) I had been having trouble with high notes for a while, but as soon as I used that mouthpiece, I was able to play multiple notes higher. It wasn't until a month or two later that I finally realized the mouthpiece was exactly the same size as my other one, and I had placeboed myself.
This has probably jappened to me without me noticing, although it has happened to my friends alot and it's sort of funny haha.
Yeah this is totally a thing. Most people refer to is as psyching yourself out (if it is a negative) or being "in the zone" when it is a positive. It isnt that hard to relate to and then apply it to medical issues, etc. As much as I hate pseudo sciencey things, I also personally know many people that have been legitimately helped by them because of placebo, so it is hard for to criticize things like that.
In this case I don't know if really is a placebo effect. I used to play the french horn and something similar happened to me. The mouth piece that I lost were larger than the new one and it should be easier to reach high notes. But when I found my old one, it was easier. There where two important factors: the old one was better fabricated, was a Paxman, and my muscles were more used to it. Maybe if I trained more with the new one maybe this wouldn't be the case anymore.
Crazy thing about actualizing placebos sometimes is that you can just call that a coincidence and was because certain timing in your life for all different reasons. Like you could have just lost a touch and got better at playing the high notes again after positive alignments in ur life
Your embouchure probably had also improved.

@46:33 you can feel tingling in MRI because the acoustic noise is powerful enough to make things like fabric vibrate if it's resting gently enough against your skin.

Yeah clearly

"League of Legends is basically like mario meets checkers."
No wonder he got dumpstered by bronzies.
It was a joke lol
League of legends was the absolute WORST choice for this experiment. They should have had him play something non competitive and actually explorative of 3d spaces. They should have given him portal to play
@Thomas Johnson I bet the decision was made by someone on the esports team. Michael probably asked a producer for a suggestion and the producer probably asked some moron on the esports team who has spent the last 6 years of their life playing league every single day and had only spent like 5 hours on video games other than league. To that esports player, league is probably the best test of skill they can think of. They probably didn't think anything about exploring a space.

@@Mit852 Portal doesn't have that much replayability tho. So while I agree, that would require him to go to a new game pretty quickly.
35:16 Seeing Michael laugh is the best
That's impressive: how that kid with migranie would heal from such a disturb by just using a placebo? It's kinda magical
To quote Neil deGrasse Tyson: "It's not magic, its science" :)
Magic is everything people could figure out about what is happening, but don’t want to!
That’s what magic really is!
Because magic is made by unimaginative people!
