Woooosh me because I don't get this joke
@@iamwill1088 woooosh
it’s been 4 years…
i’m still caught in an infinite loop between these 2 videos
🎭
Considering how internal monologue and thought goes this makes a whole lot of sense. That’s why how we think is often framed as a sort of lecture to ourselves or even a battery of questions. It’s as if we are speaking to someone in our own head sometimes.
Because it turns out we are.
Actually no and CGP is wrong about this (along with no studies or data). Left/right brain was disproven a while ago as we found out these “hemisphere” functions are actually scattered across the brain and in concert with different areas.
So language isn’t a left brain thing and the right isn’t like creative, etc.
He’s operating on faulty data .
Well most of the brain is unknown and many aren't identical mental conditions and all that so it could be true but in most probability it isn't the brains or people in the studies might have only acted that way due to their brains being damaged
@@Trust268 Recent data disproves the “two people” idea.
@@Trust268 The point of the study was damaged brains. Dont use this as an excuse to make the brain a mystery.
@@Darkloid21 I think you're speaking of the faulty notion that the left and right hemispheres of the brain had isolated characteristics such as the left hemisphere being more logical and the right side being more creative. That idea was more or less disproven as electrical patterns observed under live MRI scans showed equal activity in both hemispheres regardless of whether a person recalled truthful data or created fabrications. At least that was one of the studies I was familiar with. However that isn't to say that, different parts of the brain don't actually have different functions and that one hemisphere couldn't hold a function the other couldn't. The ability to speak is usually reserved to the hemisphere that contains both Wernicke's Area and Broca's Area which for most people is located on the left hemisphere, meaning the right side of the body reserves the ability of speech. In corpus callosum surgery where the hemispheres are separated, the left side of the body is observed to be mute. Since it can no longer instantly communicate with the other hemisphere, it will often "disagree" with its other side. I don't know if I would go as far as to say they are separate entities after separation as Grey suggests, but Left/Right brain specialization, at least in this context, is a valid and recognized phenomenon. Grey is not promoting pseudoscience here, there are a number of interesting case studies with videos you can look up on youtube if you have the time and I'd encourage you to take a looksie. :)

I would say dual core since the individual parts of the brain are like individual parts of a CPU. A CPU is actually very complex and has dedicated areas that do specific thing like our brain and all those parts come together to form one complete core.
Duel Core, but with Hyper threading between the cores maybe?

What I think is that despite the halves of your brain being separate, you are still one entity. They are just functionally separate, but the sum of their mechanisms and coordinations creates the experience that is you.
Now I am worried that my right brain isn’t happy. How do I make sure my right brain is happy?
Edit: Just realized my whole brain is unhappy.
Hey right brain, I’m sorry for being so annoying.
-left brain.
dear left brain
how dare you insult my thoughts
@Ayah Awad The left brain is responsible for speech, but the right brain is responsible for writing. See at 3:04, the left side of the body (controlled by the right brain) is writing.
So nietLars effectively had his left brain tell his right brain to apologise to itself on left brain's behalf.
Dear left brain:
@Ayah Awad If the right brain can not speak, but still understand speech and draw... can it write? can it type?
@Ayah Awad Your left half doesn't know, the right one just doesn't tell you
Kurzgesagt: What are you?
CGPGrey: You are two.
Well that was easy.
Hehe yeah, nice :D
Hahahaha
Haha exactly what I thought
I was thinking that as well XD
Hahahahaha
I remember when I was riding my bike towards a small intersection, I was kind of tuned out, just passively keeping track of the street and parked cars in front of me. I knew I was going too fast to comfortably round the corner, and I didn't know if the intersection was red.
So without moving my eyes, just tuning in to my periphery, I saw the little red hand showing on the pole.
There's a corner up ahead, I need to pull the breaks a bit, and in my periphery I see my hand open and close onto the brakes.
But the thing is, I didn't brake because of the light, and I didn't check the light because braking brought me back into the moment.
I made those decisions simultaneously. When I think back, I have two memories. One where in the lower corner of my vision my hand stretches out and hits the brakes, and another where in the upper corner of my vision I see the dark green traffic pole with the red hand showing solid. And I remember the moment immediately following was me realizing that I had just had that happen. I know my eyes never moved, and yet the memory with the breaks has no visuals on the light, and the memory with the light has no view of the brakes
I understand this video is simplified for general audiences but it's frustrating as someone with a background in psychology and neuroscience. It's not that there are two brains, your brain is one organ with two halves that communicate to create your experience of consciousness. What then happens in split-brain patients is that because the left and right hemispheres can't communicate, they experience two slightly different versions of their reality. Again, super simplified but it's an important distinction. Because the idea of the right hemisphere as a separate entity from the left is purely science fiction.
Also the left hemisphere can process faces just fine, the ffa is a bilateral structure.
Is it wrong that I now *really* wanna split my brain?
Of course it is.
What?
@@ponponpatapon9670 That's exactly the dialogue for me though. And I'm not split. Then again I also tend to talk to myself the instant I'm alone.

Is there a way to temporarily block communication between hemispheres in a safe way? If so, would you want to try it?
Imagine having a split brain, and you ask someone to share a secret, but they only whisper it in one ear so half of your brain never hears and doesn’t know the secret, and is super frustrated that the other half does.

@@thomasward7196 RIP I hate when that happens.
This reminds me of the anti hero "twice" from My hero academia.
Get your "this was on my recommended" ticket here.
The split does not split your personality. Just decisionmaking. Youre still the same person but both halfs of you are separated making decisions done not by both halfs instead of one and both can disagree with each other. Im fascinated by this as i would really love to have a split brain just to understand myself better. It allows you to see more than just the surface of your thoughts and many decisions and disagreements are simply because you yourself dont know what to do so both halfs disagree trying to make the choice fir you. After all your behaviour never changes. You are you no matter what will happen to the brain because scientists still cannot point out what makes you.. you.
I see.Thanks.
Plausible hypothesis but don't phrase your hypotheses as facts.
@@raphael_santiago i actually spoke to my friend about that few times by the 7 momths and he agrees with me. The reason this is happening is because both halves need to coordinate your decisionmaking. Splitting this ability in half makes you do more than one decision. If the theory of two personalities was real there would be more signs than were actually explained. There is a lot in this video going unspoken. The theory i say is widely accepted as the reason as there is no sign of a second personality inside other than different decisions. They may seem odd to the person who experiences it because they conciousness is able to grasp only one idea at a time. Its much like thinming. Try to think about two things at the same time. Impossible isnt it? Splitting your brain allows you for that but you dont really have the ability to use both halves separately due to the way the whole life you relied on it being whole. And by this unable to split your attention to both. Its like when you do a random thing and dont even understand why you did that. It happems often. Ever took spoon by mistake instead of a fork? Said something you did not want to? Its the same thing. Both halves having a idea but only one going throught. As complicated as our brain is there is not even a exact source of our conciousness or where it is set in the brain but trust me. If you say that there is two of you to anyone who works with this subject he will laugh. Brain is a complicated tool that works coordinated. Imagine your brain as a server. All data going through it both ways to coordinate it. If you severe conection between its parts the parts will not stop working but no longer will be able to know what the other part wants to do and will do their own thing. There is a lot of thing you could compare it to and every single one makes a clesrer picthre that this anomaly is nothing special. Its even a bad thing as it limits your capabilities as you sre limited to two halves not one whole of your complete processing power. While interesting i feel sorry for anyone who needs to deal with things like that.

Honestly it's actually pretty simple, each half of the brain has certain functions mainly controlling specific side though also controlling a specific other function, normally they communicate in teamwork, thus why you seamlessly do any task (With some exceptions) but when this surgery happens that cuts the lines of communication, both halves function separately, just one can talk and the other not, because there's no more communication they generally do their own thing or try to figure out what the other is doing, they have to otherwise the split brain person shouldn't be able to walk at all.

Right brain is clearly superior
Similar to how right wingers are superior than left wingers

No!!!!!

This theory feels odd to me. If split-brain patients really do lend to the idea of there being two separate intellects in a human brain, then it would be easy to prove with communication. Not through speech, but through somatic methods, such as written language, typing, or even sign language.
I understand that language and vocal muscles are controlled in wernicke's area, which is exclusively on the left side of the brain, but written and spoken language comprehension is shared between both hemispheres of the temporal lobe. Surely this "silent brain" would undoubtedly have some language skills it could use with one hand.
It's likely that the right brain is much like neglected children who never learned to people, it's spent it's years of plasticity doing work left brain can't do then handing it off through the connective tissue. Unless you split the brain in someone very young then intentionally developed both half's sense of self, which would be highly unethical don't do that, your average right brain is no longer capable of doing anything else but recognizing requests and doing rote tasks.
Which is kind of horrible when you think about it. Everyone, from the beginning of history to today, has had what is essentially a slave, living the most 1984 esque nightmare you can imagine from birth, in their head.
Yeah The fact that this is the only place i have ever heard about this seemingly paradigm phenomenon coupled with the fact that my monke brain doesn’t want to cooperate with this idea is enough for me to trauma whipe this from my memory thankyouverymuch
I think CGP Grey sensationalizes this with how it's portrayed. I think we all already agree that consciousness is a collection of smaller things which make up a whole. If we follow this through, you can just then say that the different hemispheres of the brain are another subdivision of the whole, but not their own thing. Furthermore, it's easy to accidentally talk in concretes about something like this, rather than gradients. In reality, it's probably more accurate as well, to look at things of this nature as being a fuzzy-sort of partly the same, partly separate, rather than being discretely disconnected units.
I feel like this video has helped me explain alot of things about myself.
I didn’t want to have and Existential crisis today yet here I am
no. you *two* are having an existential crisis
...*screams*
Im curious what would happen if someone with split brains would be given 2 pens and an eyepatch and you would ask him/them while getting one eye off a written question and ask for response in writing and repeat. That would be weird but i think you would have a conversation made with words, symbols and drawing
That would be pretty intresting as we dont know if other half can have different personality and way of thinking and hosing things
You didn't ask for this, you didn't choose this, yet there it is. And it's treated no differently, than being... normal? I guess?
All I know is someone comes up with these CRAZY dreams every night, and it ain’t me.
Maybe the right brain communicates using symbols? just like a mute person using sign language.
No, it is you.
@@matttejada7381 you literally blew my mind.

This makes some of Yukio Mishimas tangents in Sun and Steel really interesting. It’s almost like his right bran started to rebel against his left
I am even more than the two of them.
Everything they care about is what I am.

He is wrong because the right brain can simply write "I am here left brain and you can't deny my existence" and there are even people who are born with split-brain and they are totally synchronized.
We are the users of the brain, We are not the brain.
@@sjey8665 thank you for clarifying
I think since normally both sides of the brain can communicate that the right brain is not frustrated, it’s only when it loses its say when separated that the frustration develops. Both brains work so well together normally.

Just the left eye.
Or Split
+Brandon dehart what's interesting is that there's a mental condition that inhibits a person's ability to process the concept of "left." To them, nothing to the left of their center of mass exists.
So if there is two of you, and each one controls 1 hand, does that mean that people who are ambidextrous communicate more with there silent part?
My little brother is Ambidextrous. Maybe.
Maybe for your question
@@cyclonetheseawing3283 ask him if he talks to himself a lot maybe? idk
Supposition :
That IT is the same personality running on slightly different hardware. If split then it might start to digress a bit.
Sub box :
Kurzgesagt: Who are you?
CGP Grey: You are two
This guy gets it
GreatBomb126 Fr!
If viewed the other way it's "You Are Two"... "Who Are You".
me too thanks
If you look closely at the end of this video, you'll see illustrations resembling something that might actually be on the Kurzgesagt channel. Coincidence? I think not.

I know. That was pretty much my point.
I found this video incredibly creepy... and at the same time, I didn't.
Looks like your right brain half is special and able to influence the emotions of your left.......
abschussrampe I'm just going along with the "left brain has its mind blown while right brain doesn't give a damn" thing. Sure there's more than enough scientific evidence to disprove my statement but honestly I'm just trying to be comedic here
you mean "deeply creepy"
This is the tripiest video I have ever seen, and yet somehow it makes complete sense
I mean, it’s how you always worked, so why is it creepy?, Right asked
Left answered: it means I dont really control myself
Well, it works, so it’s good, *right*? Said Right
So is inner voice a product of the language interpreting left hemisphere thus making what we refer to as “thought” a left brain dominant process?
Or does the communication between left and right allow for right hemisphere computations to be translated into inner voice as well?
I feel that this (for me) would be cool, fascinating, and fun
