A much needed differentiation from standard pop-science channels! Keep up te good work, you've got a new subscriber!
I wish people that disliked videos were required to have some sort of explanation as to why they disliked it. Like is info in the video not entirely true? Or do they just not like the animation style? I like the animation btw 👍🏼
A few things, although I only glanced through the video - it gives the implication that brains usually route to specific places. While patterns are observed, brains are over all generalized machines. This is obvious when looking at how born blind people use the occipital lobe - brains can be retrained to navigate in New unpredictable ways (a lot of studies performed on ferrets demonstrate this, and its how people rehabilitate split brained patients). The organization of the brain in two hemispheres in pop science may be socially biased. Rather most significant structure actually appears in the center of the brain. And of course the corpus collossum is part of this central structure. Difference in hemispheres happens because the organization of signals in the center privileges one side for optimization which as the video correctly points out is advantageous. realistically your brain is far, far more than two. Bilateral symmetry, which is found in most of our bodily structure, is the reason why we have two lobes by the way. - a lot of autism research can be pretty suspect and I question the video creator's ability to understand the paper or the authenticity of the sources... Left-right brain stuff sounds more like some researchers pressured to find correlations than an actual scientific breakthrough esp since neurology is far more sophisticated. I think autistic people deserve better than this. So yeah i think your answer is that its another pop science video taking advantage of undergraduates who dont know better by repeating misinformation and oversimplification of serious illnesses that seriously impact people's lives.
I've been blind in my right eye all my life, so its intresting to reflect how I react to things, I always look at something creatively first, and then start breaking down the logic of it
Interesting, I’m blind in my left eye and also autistic, I have trouble with social cues, it makes sense that since I see with my right eye, my left brain is more active, also since I can’t see out of my left side, I pay more attention to sounds coming from the left. I sometimes feel heat on my left when people are close by. Since you’re blind out of your right eye, do you feel heat in your right side when people come close to you in that direction? I’m curious
Visual input through either eye is processed by both hemispheres. So lacking vision in 1 eye still means the other eye sends signals to both sides of the brain.
I love these videos, please contine covering a wide array of topics from biology to physics! There's way too few biology channels for entertainment lol
Things we’re vaguely aware of, yet never articulated to ourselves, float to the forefront of our thinking and become, “knowledge,” as a result of watching these clever videos. Quite a service to humanity, when you think about it like that, don’t you think?
I feel alienated at the very first seconds of the video. Im supposed to keep one ear on when someone wants to talk to me and Im listening to music? How would I be able to enjoy the song properly, or talk to someone else properly, with my attention being pulled apart by two completely opposite ends? If Im listening to a song, depending on how much Im involved in the song Ill either tell them to wait if (its not a long song), or pause the song, listen to the person attentively and then restart the song. Is this "music" supposed to be background music? Do people with headphones usually listen to ambiance mostly? Am I the weird one? Im very confused as to how this is a practical example, it seems terribly illogical and rude to split your attention to music you would put headphones on for and to someone inquiring you.
I love this video so much, I’ve been thinking about this a lot as a musician, because scientists have recently been realising that the left ear is attuned to tonality, and the right ear is attuned to percussiveness and transients, due to the two brain hemispheres having different functionalities. And it got me thinking: isn’t it fascinating how in philosophy, we always come back to concepts like yin and yang, chaos and harmony, or as Nietzche puts it, apollo and dionysos, aka order and disorder within ourselves. And isn’t it fascinating that in greek mythology, apollo, lord of order and beauty, chose for instrument of predilection the lyre, a plucked instruments that plays percussive sounds or transient notes, whereas Dionysos, lord of disorder, prefers the flute, an instrument that plays tonal, long sounds that pitch up and down and fade in and out? It feels to me as if our whole approach in philosophy of seeing the universe as a struggle between chaos and harmony, or order and disorder, stems from us projecting the struggle we all have/feel: to make our two brains connect and wark together in harmony and synergy
Did you know, there’s a nerve centre in your brain that takes on the shape of a treble clef the more you play instruments? Literally. And the way they first discovered this is mind blowing! Look it up. Not a lot of people know this, but Albert Einstein’s brain was stolen, (post mortem of course) and there’s a whole tale around that, which ultimately lead to this bizarre, but nonetheless fascinating discovery. Useless information. But great for the dinner table conversation.
@@iaimboti Just look it up, it's on his wikipedia page. You can't expect people to add a bibliography to their RUclips comments every time they want to share a fact.
I'm autistic and I can have a really hard time verbalizing what I'm thinking. I'll restart multiple times as I consider other aspects or ways to say something or ways something could he misinterpreted
I heard somewhere that learning a musical instrument has an effect on the hemispheres connecting, I can't recall all the details but it was fascinating all the same.
Playing a musical instrument shapes an area of the brain to take on the literal physical shape of a treble clef, apparently. They first discovered this, when they recovered Albert Einstein’s stolen, now sliced, brain. Post mortem, of course. A true and utterly bizarre story that not a lot of people know. Thought you might be curious, given your interest? He played the fiddle, BTW. I know, crazy, right?
9:19 I’m right handed and hold my phone to the right ear during a phone call etc., but I always remove the left side of the headset to listen to somebody when they want to talk to me
Im all over the place, im mostly right handed but can also write with my left. On the Phone/ talking to someone i mostly pull the Headset completly down, exept if i dont do that i pull up the earpiece that is on the side that the Person is at and if the Person is infront of me its random
"Hey wait wasn't this debunked?" -me The dominance of one side was debunked, but the different roles of one side of the brain and the other are pretty clear-cut.
I disagree with the claim that the “dominance of one side was debunked”. I’m totally left brained, to the point of being completely factual and logical. I’m very smart logically and mathematically, but my social skills and spatial skills aren’t as great
@@charlesg7926 Maybe I misspoke: there isn't more neurological activity in your left brain, the right side is just as active. The myth that was debunked was that, specifically, the "dominant" side was more active than the other, rather than being better at its respective job. Didn't mean to imply that being smart with academia guaranteed that you'd be good with social skills.
ok, i have a question from this video. it was mentioned that music and vocals have a preferred side. if i listen to stuff like music or video on my earbuds (as example), if one of them if a bit blocked and audio does not sound like it is in the center of my brain but slightly to one side (either or) it really bugs me. can this be explained in some way due to this? as a not i am most likely on the spectrum and have adhd + dyslexia.
"...if they want to." Another great video. I like the brain surgery and it's scalpel. For whatever reason it reminds me of the scissors in the Big Lebowski dream sequence.
FYI, at 0:28 it has quantitative spelled "quantatative" and sequential spelled "seqeutnial." Those spellings are repeated later, too. Seqeutnial is the more confusing. Took me a while to figure out that it was supposed to be sequential.
Our good old dyslexic term, "Seqeutnial" (sp), makes a repeat appearance in this follow-up video about the brain's asymmetry, at the 0:29 second time point.
There are tests you can take online to find out? And you would be helping institutions and universities by adding to their data sets. Just be sure you’re doing them for a respectable institution and not some bogus advertising agency. ✌️
I am right handed, but I take out my left headphone and leave the right one on. I do lots of things "backwards" from other right hand dominant people. I keep my wallet in my right rear pocket, I wear a watch on the right hand.
What a great video, i have been thinking about this for decades :P. One interesting thing i personally always wondered is, i wonder if there is a 'frequency'/hz between the two hemispheres, and could somehow it create a balance or equilibrium and then be able to efficiently react to important stimuli while they are incoming... hmm
As they are electrical impulses, it is a physical certainty that they will have frequencies, “Hz,” (probably varying) and that these must be known, as they have been detected. QED. Therefore, it follows that they could be manipulated. The question really is; have they ever found such experiments to be efficacious? Has technology caught up yet? And to what end could you use it? I would imagine that any such discoveries would have global implications (both, “globally,” regarding the brain, not just that area, and, “globally,” planet wide) and be a well guarded secret? After all, we’re talking, “mind control,” techniques by implication. But, we could also be adding fuel to nut jobs who complain about phone towers and 5G, which would be unhelpful to human kind too?
I'm a non-right dominant person who just watched this entire video with my left ear bud in, only for you to predict what side my ear bud was gonna be in at the end.
I've come to realize youtube sucks and is an unfair mirror of society. Why does this have only just under 10k views? It's not due to quality. It's because you're not favored by the algorithm overlord. I really dislike that everyone has to please this central robot thing for years in order to gain its favor, just so their work gets due recognition. I hate how they push what's already big instead of promoting small creators. Dunno why this is specially pissing me off today, i've known this for decades.
From watching documentaries about split patients years ago, I've got this idea that we all actually have two personalities in our head, where the dominate one is us, and the other is a slave enclosed in the body with only limited ways to communicate with the outside world. This could also explain the positive and negative side of the brains. To me this explains a lot about the way people act.
for the past half a year ive become increasingly convince that i have autism since i have most of the symptoms. while watching this vid i remembered that a few times in my teenage years where i was sleep deprived, stressed and overstimulated & i would have instances, either when fully awake or falling asleep, where my consciousness would split into two. It felt exactly how it sounds like. I had one dominant consciousness with a certain thought train and less than a second after i would remember what happened simultaneously in my other consciousness and it was one of the weirdest phenomena my brain has conjured.(ive had other weird stuff happen) Im not sure if it proves that i have autism or if it even really is the two hemispheres failing to communicate or if its something else.
Despite your grammatical shortcomings, you seem to be articulating your experiences too well for an obvious autism diagnosis? However, if you want to know more about what’s going on in your brain, you could take online tests for universities and hospitals? You’re helping them, by adding to their data sets, and they’re helping you, by giving you the information you’re looking for. Just keep in mind, if it’s a label to describe your condition/s that you seek, that’s the easy part. If it’s understanding, and potential, “cures,” you’re looking for, that’s way more complex. Not impossible; just requires honesty, commitment and embracing the idea of overlapping complexities.
@@ashroskell What do you mean by "articulating too well for an obvious autism diagnosis"? I'm diagnosed with Aspergers Autism and I have no problems articulating myself in any way. Could maybe explain further?
i'm right handed but left eye dominant. makes it hard to shoot guns and impossible to draw and aim a bow. i wonder if there is a benefit to cross eye dominance?
This is why I think AI won't be about creating single entities, because intelligence never was about single entities. We need to create multiple, distinctive systems that work together in a similar way to the brain.
AI would work as a hive mind like insects. Each individual entity would communicate with each other as one larger entity creating an intelligence, if each one had a different purpose to be able to functionally work together similar to a brain.
@@Turgz It would be like a nation of people, except no arguments, no inner strife, no power struggles, and so efficient no one else could keep up. Think Nazi Germany during WWII, but better in every respect, making them terrible for us. If flawed humans could take over Europe, AI could take over the Earth.
That's... kinda how it works already. Obviously the same system that does one thing can't do other things; you need different, communicating systems if you want it to do multiple related things.
I have Asperger's and am left handed. Ever since I was around 13 I have hypothesized that there were more left handed among people with autism due to there being multiple in my class at the time. I have however never heard anyone else thinking the same thing until now.
I wonder if I could try and train my phantom sense to help me concentrate on the muscles that would theoretically let me wag my tail to the right if I had one, and if I practiced trying to wag my tail to the right long enough if it would have a noticeable effect on my mood... science lol
Hmm...From this, I deduce I am, apparently, right-brain dominant. I like having the headphones or phone in/on my left ear and have a hard time understanding people if my left ear is blocked... The more you know.
I nearly always put the phone to my left ear, but I’m right handed. I think this makes me either not particularly interested in the content of most phone calls or what is technically known to science as, “a freak.” I know which my wife would choose 😉👍 Fascinating stuff. Truly enthralling.
I really wonder what happens to YOU when you have such a surgery. Would it be like you become split between the two halfs of the brain or are you only one side of the brain? Kinda a werid thought.
Yeah, this whole channel seems like something pulled directly out of a HFY setting. I like your explanations and you manage to pull me in with the informationally dense presentations. subbed.

I really dislike that everyone has to please this central robot thing for years in order to gain its favor, just so their work gets due recognition. I hate how they push what's already big instead of promoting small creators. Dunno why this is specially pissing me off today, i've known this for decades.
From watching documentaries about split patients years ago, I've got this idea that we all actually have two personalities in our head, where the dominate one is us, and the other is a slave enclosed in the body with only limited ways to communicate with the outside world. This could also explain the positive and negative side of the brains. To me this explains a lot about the way people act.
I didn’t know that about dogs, very interesting

This video is pog.
I'm left handed and I died at 5:38 including snorts
alright fine I'll subscribe
Is the role of the two brains flipped in people with Situs Inversus?
It's cool how our brain has hypertheading. Lol
ive GOTTA find a way to split the music bot's music and my friends' voices into the left and right audio channels in discord calls
I must have every disease because when someone tries to talk to me while I’m listening to music I free the left ear
for the past half a year ive become increasingly convince that i have autism since i have most of the symptoms. while watching this vid i remembered that a few times in my teenage years where i was sleep deprived, stressed and overstimulated & i would have instances, either when fully awake or falling asleep, where my consciousness would split into two. It felt exactly how it sounds like. I had one dominant consciousness with a certain thought train and less than a second after i would remember what happened simultaneously in my other consciousness and it was one of the weirdest phenomena my brain has conjured.(ive had other weird stuff happen) Im not sure if it proves that i have autism or if it even really is the two hemispheres failing to communicate or if its something else.
Despite your grammatical shortcomings, you seem to be articulating your experiences too well for an obvious autism diagnosis? However, if you want to know more about what’s going on in your brain, you could take online tests for universities and hospitals? You’re helping them, by adding to their data sets, and they’re helping you, by giving you the information you’re looking for. Just keep in mind, if it’s a label to describe your condition/s that you seek, that’s the easy part. If it’s understanding, and potential, “cures,” you’re looking for, that’s way more complex. Not impossible; just requires honesty, commitment and embracing the idea of overlapping complexities.
I'm also autistic and have ADHD and anxiety as well. It was really interesting to me.
@@ashroskell What do you mean by "articulating too well for an obvious autism diagnosis"? I'm diagnosed with Aspergers Autism and I have no problems articulating myself in any way. Could maybe explain further?
@@thunderfox4977 I've also raised an eyebrow when he mentioned "articulating too well". It's written text, there is nothing to articulate!
@@ashroskell What do you mean by "articulating your experiences too well for an obvious autism diagnosis?"?
i'm right handed but left eye dominant. makes it hard to shoot guns and impossible to draw and aim a bow.
i wonder if there is a benefit to cross eye dominance?
I also naturally hold phones to my left ear, although when I used to wear headphones at work I would take out the right one to listen to people.
Same here with the cross eye hand dominance.
What about savants?
But why do I always hold my phone to the left ear if I'm right-handed?
Few people seem to be able to really listen and talk at the same time.
I’d love to know how people who have mirrored bodies (heart more to the right, liver and stomach more to the right, etc) reflect these trends
Do "left handed" dogs exist and do other dogs get confused by them?
Then... Why do I usually free up my left ear? Even when it's the one farthest from the person I'm listening to?
I usually free up my left ear, and I’m right handed.
Ngl I wanna sever my Corpus callosum. I wanna meet my other half.
@1:22 Ahhhhh! Does the knife really have to be bloody looking?! I grew up on gory video games but now I'm a grown up with two kids... Please!
Me, cringing at the sight of the guy getting a syringe jammed in his scull, because i am an empath my heart.
This is why I think AI won't be about creating single entities, because intelligence never was about single entities. We need to create multiple, distinctive systems that work together in a similar way to the brain.
AI would work as a hive mind like insects. Each individual entity would communicate with each other as one larger entity creating an intelligence, if each one had a different purpose to be able to functionally work together similar to a brain.
@@Turgz It would be like a nation of people, except no arguments, no inner strife, no power struggles, and so efficient no one else could keep up. Think Nazi Germany during WWII, but better in every respect, making them terrible for us. If flawed humans could take over Europe, AI could take over the Earth.
That's... kinda how it works already. Obviously the same system that does one thing can't do other things; you need different, communicating systems if you want it to do multiple related things.
I am righthanded yet i always take of my left earphone to listen to someone even if thats in the opposite side of where they are
This video blows gcpgrey out of the water
I have Asperger's and am left handed. Ever since I was around 13 I have hypothesized that there were more left handed among people with autism due to there being multiple in my class at the time.
I have however never heard anyone else thinking the same thing until now.
I wonder if I could try and train my phantom sense to help me concentrate on the muscles that would theoretically let me wag my tail to the right if I had one, and if I practiced trying to wag my tail to the right long enough if it would have a noticeable effect on my mood...
science lol
I'm right handed and I hold my phone up to my left ear with my left hand.
Is good.
Huh, I always take off my left ear cup... wonder what that means?
Hmm...From this, I deduce I am, apparently, right-brain dominant. I like having the headphones or phone in/on my left ear and have a hard time understanding people if my left ear is blocked... The more you know.
Im going to be sending this to my left handed friends, “left handed people are FREAKS”
@@dariuszb3860 pretty sure they were joking, interesting that you seem to hold something against right handed people though.
@@isaimtz-cmcho688 yes i was joking, but i think what Darius sent might be a copy pasta that doesn’t get around often, so I think he’s joking too lol
Feels wierd watching this being ambidextrous.
I didn't know almost all people favour one ear over the other for example.
I need somebody to use anesthesia on my right hemisphere....
Weird, I listen to music in the right ear and am right handed
I’m right handed but prefer my left ear to listen to voice. I always have the phone to my left ear.
I nearly always put the phone to my left ear, but I’m right handed. I think this makes me either not particularly interested in the content of most phone calls or what is technically known to science as, “a freak.” I know which my wife would choose 😉👍 Fascinating stuff. Truly enthralling.
I really wonder what happens to YOU when you have such a surgery. Would it be like you become split between the two halfs of the brain or are you only one side of the brain? Kinda a werid thought.
Yeah, this whole channel seems like something pulled directly out of a HFY setting.
I like your explanations and you manage to pull me in with the informationally dense presentations.
subbed.

pog video :)
My left ear is deaf.
So I must giving my full attention to the speakers so I wont misinterpret the context.
Also I cant pinpoint the source of sounds.
a super scalar processor☝🏻
I’m left handed and listen with my right ear.
The brain praising itself for its truly magnificent design seem kinda biased...
yo what if we took another half brain from one baby and sewed it inbetween the 2 halfs of an original brain, asking for a friend.
I have to update my dual-processor it's to slow, quad-processor might be better
Left handed not freaks
They are just swapped from a mirror
I need 4 brains, so my girlfriend who's talking through this video I could then give loving attention without appearing distracted while leaving this comment and studying chemistry while doing my taxes...
We are dual core processors.
Sounds like Josh Clark....
