Your brain is your main point!

I love it bro

Perception Deception indeed, for example, I perceive at (21:17) that our gal has dark red fingernails which is clearly an illusion because the scenes before and after this one clearly depict that she has a less colorful manicure. Oh heck it's all in my mind.

They're not factoring in the knowledge/memory organization method called the Mind Palace. I've been building mine my whole life. You really need some degree of photographic memory to start out with, but you can also learn that ability. When I fetch a memory, I treat it as a pathway, because it is a pathway. Instead of allowing that path to become overgrown, and harder to traverse, I keep the path trampled so it's always easy to navigate the route to the memory I am fetching. I'm not good enough at it to remember everything, and for me it isn't a palace. It's my home town that I've lived in my whole life, and it's the towns I visited constantly while growing up and visiting my grandparents and cousins and best friends (after one moved 50mi. away and another moved 7mi. away). It's really the state I live in. Oregon. I use locations, then I use grades in school, and I then use my age, and then I add in smells and plants/flowers, and pets, and vehicles, and weather plus time of day, and then moods/mental states. It all creates a coordinate system that acts like gps for memories that don't just link the information/data of that memory, it links the reality of the memories. As in everything that is perceived when the memory was imprinted. This works for me, it may not work for you, because everyone is different and usually requires a different "palace" to store that information in. Just give it a go, and really focus on it. You'll amaze yourself with how much you will be able to accurately recall!

Who is created brain? Who is create the first human that have the first brain?

I heard Green needle for brainstorm and brainstorm for green needle 😂

blue and black and then blue and black for me duh

Do I have a special brain? Most of these illusions had little to no effect on me. I was easily able to control what I saw and heard. The checkered shadow illusion was the one that I couldnt quite wrap my head around until you moved the boxes together.

===== Dual Brain Psychology

Many organisms have two hemispheres and can be conscious. On the other hand, self-consciousness, like a mirror, is the recognition of ourselves, by reflection, from the mind in our brain's other hemisphere. Much like examining the inner workings of a radio, that cannot be understood until experiencing its result, that is, greater than the sum of its parts.

Who else sees the cars (timestamp 16:35) green top left, orange top right, red bottom left and blue bottom right? I feel trolled.

I wonder if this explains why some people have aphantasia, its like this blind spot lady guessing the tools. I can't visualize very well, maybe its like super general and fuzzy. But I can feel the memories, and sometimes like flashes of details of the memory. When I try to recall for example playing as a child in my backyard, I get flashes of what was around me, trees, a dirt patch, the old pick up truck we had, no specific memory or details.

Also interesting I had a TBI back in 2017, apparently I woke right back up after fainting and hitting my head with my full body weight on concrete. Interestingly enough, after waking up I didn't remember the tattoo I had gotten a few months back on my arm, but knew my Brother still. All I remember after my head hit the floor was slowly coming back into consciousness mid conversation with the paramedic on the way to the hospital.

Okay at 16:33 I did not see the same color cars as she described, am I the only one? Does this have to do with my phone maybe or am I missing something? Lol I also still see the dress as only black and blue it never changed to gold and white. Lol I love these documentaries!

Any thoughts on the auditory illusion? I only heard the words green needle I didn’t hear what the other choice was. Unless it was brainstorm, but when I listen to that degraded audio, it couldn’t possibly be brainstorm so I’m wondering what I missed

I never have seen that dress as gold and white, even in the all blue it was still black and blue lol whyyy

Sad that it was never answered, “what happens to me when I die?”
Romans 1 & 2… and the rest of it!
But specifically 1 & 2 God made us and showed us and 2 He gave us a conscience… but those who refuse to acknowledge Him He allows them to go their way in their thinking into foolishness. Jesus loves you if you seek truth you will find Him

Weeeeird. The first time I heard the Yanny Laurel, I heard each, based on which I was looking at. The second time I heard Yanny, Laurel, Laurel. And after that I only heard Laurel.

re memory : it’s never too late to have had a happy childhood.

The clinical term for severe, high intensity pain is “exquisite”.

I disagree with some of their opinions on memory. I can recall stuff from when I was less than 2yrs old. I can still remember those moments and I haven't changed the memory. It's the same every time.

Alr idk if im alone w/this but from what i see from 16:30 the car images top-down & left to right is green, orange, red & blue. Really felt the naratives were kinda messing with me even though its obviously a serious based documentary... But yea im just clueless as i am tbh :')

i do not like ai

The "Magic Eye" still freaks me out.

yes it was live

You're more susceptible to illusion and manipulation if your frenzied instead of depressed/apathetic

There is no spoon.

My whole life is a lie. I'm not real. There's no point in any of this.

Buddhists and psychedelic users figured this stuff out long ago.

Well I sure heard 'green needle' both the times.

Fabulous and fascinating
