- The neuroscientist speaker explores how our brains construct reality through senses, focusing on retinal research and diseases like retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma. Diverse perceptions of colors, shaped by retinal biology, highlight a continuum of sensory abilities. 'The Dress' phenomenon illustrates how experiences shape color perceptions, challenging intrinsic color notions. Within the 'Goldilocks zone' of the electromagnetic spectrum, the speaker explains how our brains interpret wavelengths as colors. The talk concludes with a call for compassion, recognizing unique perceptions while collectively adapting to a shared reality. Dr. Bryan William Jones is a neuroscientist and photographer. His neuroscience focuses upon understanding the retina and how neurons in the visual system are wired together in a complex topology that allows the computation of visual information. Understanding what the evolution of neural circuitry can teach us about how retinas process visual information can teach us principles of information processing not just in neural systems, but potentially also in biologically inspired computing. The work is funded through the study of retinal degenerative diseases to understand how neural structure, organization and circuitry changes in neurodegenerative disease.
Bryan’s photographic work is a tacit personal reminder of why he works in retinal and visual sciences. Understanding how we perceive the world through neural circuits involved in vision is compelling enough. But understanding how neural circuits are altered in diseases like retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis drives the work. He has been published or his work discussed internationally and has appeared in museums, have been used in documentary films, and numerous books on various topics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

What a genuinely nice man. Love what he says at the end, brought happy tears to my eyes 🥲
I am glad some branches of science are recognizing this, that we do live in different realities. Next up: how it IS possible to change your reality. I did it & anyone can do it.
Very exciting stuff.
Thank you kind sir for this presentation 💜
“There is no colour in the world.” “Colour is a shared illusion.” What’s wild to me is that those are considered controversial concepts in 2024. To see clearly in the darkness so as to light the way for others is what I’m coming to realize this shared reality/illusion is likely all about. Without the darkness there can be no light - scientifically and spiritually, which I am finding are two sides of the same coin. Thank you for this amazing video!🙏

This is one of the more riveting and fascinating videos I've seen in awhile here, and hosted by a fantastic guest; always been intrigued by vision-as-reality because I've had odd visual field anomalies my whole life, most of which no one seems able to explain and it definitely impacts how I interact with, or understand, my reality vs others. Thank you.
OMG. Awesome presentation. The underlying themes carry even far beyond just visual differences.
Different People have Different Visions. Kinda like a Zoetrope; and/or a Dream, - or a Mirage.. Some Visions (however) are Healthier than Others.
Just wondering about this last night before I dozed off. Didn’t look it up, but here we are. Algorithmic serendipity or manipulation? Maybe it’s a matter of perception…
Manifestation
A very interestingly informative talk. Well explained the linkages of vision to personal reality. Rift could occur due to difference in the instrument or the process. Giving compassion to other realities for a better composed/ shared reality is is worth emulating. Enjoyed, thank you!
Latterly my brain was about to blow up when I tried to answer the question "What is blue?"
Hindsight is 20/20 and so is this video 20:20
Wonderful talk
Thanks for sharing this video with us
The human brain constructs reality based on sensory input, particularly vision. The brain relies on senses to interpret the world, with each person experiencing it differently due to variations in their sensory systems. Vision issues like myopia and color blindness exemplify these differences. The "dress" phenomenon shows how perceptions of the same object can vary.
Colors are interpretations of electromagnetic wavelengths by the brain, not inherent in nature. These interpretations vary, creating unique realities for each individual. Despite these differences, people generally agree on a shared reality, promoting understanding.
The message encourages recognizing and appreciating the diversity of human perceptions, advocating for empathy and kindness in acknowledging that each person’s reality is uniquely shaped by their senses.
This all makes me wonder what reality looks like from an outside perspective. If we could somehow borrow the view of our reality as a sort of out of body experience. What would that be like? And also considering that nothing is solid. Everything is in motion regardless if we can notice the motion or not. Incredibly fascinating.
I agree with you Crystal
I enjoyed the show it was both informative and fun. Philosophically, it is true that our views determine reality and are different for each one. According to the speaker, scientifically people see colors differently and their basic understanding of color is different so how can we make people see a common reality(color) in that scenario?
love it!
Thanks
Seeing is believing, but sometimes seeing shatters our strongest beliefs.
My adage
Amazing video
This is why I think "heaven" is among us. We can't see the colours or sounds (because we also only hear specific wavelengths.)
amongst the very few …much of the world is born into horror
Wavelength could be hear?
But wavelength could also be seen..?
@INFINITY_117 humans can only see and hear within a specific range, so what I'm saying is that the afterlife isn't some far away place, but exists with us. Among us in other spectrums that we can't comprehend- like the turtle that can see 7 colors.
It's like a veil of separation. Your loved ones are standing beside you, but the average person cannot see, hear or feel them (energy).
First time I hear that some women can see 4 basic colors instead of 3 (which most people see). That's fascinating! Gotta research more about this. It would also be interesting to explain the evolutionary reason such trait would evolve in the female part of humanity.
Well this helped my derealization
👏🏻
Excellent...!!!
Our God, is The Only One Wise, The Only One, GOD, The Inmortal One...!!!
If you are referring to our sun in the milky way, I agree.
Why are there so many TedXTalks uploads these days?! FFS, it's too much. Just upload the best ones, like this one!
The chart with visible light in the middle has the colours inverted! Nice presentation otherwise 🌈
👍🏽
Great 👍
Thanks for completed 900 subscribe rs

Still doing Kant's homeworks
Please pray for me please pray that I may have a firm faith to God I am struggling right now. I am stress about my financial and my health also to my bills please pray for my peace of mind
Omg
Colour is a shared Illusion.
Now do the same with hearing.
First comment🎉
Well good for you.

Subject : Exciting collaboration opportunity for your youtube video
Dear [ ted x talk channel owner ],
I am a huge fan of your content and have been inspired by your videos. I have a proposal that i believe could be mutually beneficial.
I’d like to dub your videos into another language and upload them to reach a wider audience. I am willing to take care of all the work involved, including translation and dubbing . In return, I’m suggesting a 50 - 50 revenue share for our collaboration.
This partnership could potentially open up new horizons for your content and help it recreate with a global audience . I’m confident that together , we can achieve great results.
If this idea intrigues you, please let me know , and we can discuss the details further . I’m excited about the prospect of working together and amplifying the reach your fantastic videos.
Looking forward to your response.
Best regards,
[ankush]
No, these days your reality determines your vision. How many mentally insane see the world in a way that is stranger than fiction.
There is no color....try telling that to a turtle.
Hey turtle! There is no color.
He could have said all this in 2 minutes, and it would have been more interesting to talk about the other 19 senses as well… also the colours were reversed in the EM spectrum! Such a novice mistake…
