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.
I wonder if psychedelics somehow cause the two halves to be able to communicate or share something in a way they normally aren't and that's where the feeling of completeness that people often feel or even discovery of parts of themselves they didn't know existed. Or maybe you lose track of who "you" are and can instead feel what the other half you normally can't feel feels. Perhaps this is why addiction can often be cured because it stems from this conflict and once the two halves can reconcile the addiction isn't necessary anymore.
I’m really wondering about how this works in ND people, e.g. people with ASD where the two hemispheres are way less specialised (in autistic people, usually, both hemispheres are engaged in speech nearly the exact same amount, with the left one being only slightly more active in most cases, while in neurotypical people the left hemisphere completely dominates the right one in speech and other verbal functions)
With the popularity of chatGPT4 and its tendencies to “hallucinate” when it does not really know the answer. It makes you wonder is that how our left brain work
I don't think that this means that there are 2 consciousnesses in all our heads. After all, as far as I understand, the connection between the the halves of our brains is the same in nature as the connection between the individual neurons in our heads. Also, if they are two separate entities, why can they interact so seamlessly? I think that in reality there just aren't clear cut-off of where one consciousnesses starts and the other begins and that there has to be is merely something a humans understanding on the world imposes. After all, we are just a system. A system that feels, experiences and has value, yes, but still just a system. And if two parts of that system are isolated, that doesn't mean that there are, or ever were, two parts of us, it means that now there are two halves who are isolated. But each were used to the existence of the other and compensate for that.
If we think this through to the end, I think that it is very possible to merge two humans brains into one two actually become one person that could, with time, develop its own sense of self. Also, personally I think that we will eventually merge ourselves with AI systems and incorporate their strengths into our way of thinking.
But then again, we still don't know where consciousness comes from, so yeah, this is all speculation. I just think that with how seamlessly the two halves interact and with how they are connected the same way all our other braincells are, its not plausible to think of the two as separate entities. I mean, if they were and one half of the brain truly does just accept to become a slave of the other, statistically there would have to be at least SOME cases where one half decides to rebel or some other anomaly that points toward that. No, i am very certain that they are just two halves of the same coin.
Небольшая история Недавно впервые за несколько лет я посмотрела ужастик. Это было напряжённо, но не подарило мне кошмаров, и у меня появилась надежда типа "Вау, может теперь какие то абстрактные идеи и истории не будут доводить меня до истерического ужаса". А потом я смотрю видео своего любимого познавательного канала, с интересными, но похожими на уже происходившими в моей голове размышлениями. И там есть продолжение! И пятиминутный ролик крушит мою надежду, пока от неё не остаётся ничего, кроме пыли неопределённости
What if we could somehow take the right brain out of someone's body and put it with another persons left brain body. Would it be the same? If we connected the two, would the person still think two thoughts or no?
As a left handed person, although this was surprising to learn, somehow this didn't feel like something I had to rationalize and explain to myself. I wonder if writing centers are in the left brain?
What's great is when you realize the other person is in the house and have a nice sit-down on what we're gonna do now. 🍀
I think things have gone quite well, honestly. 🌙
If i’m 2 then does that mean i have my own Tyler Durden?
Not If you have Cross Lateralization.
What if your blind in one eye
Love your content! Hope you notice me :]
The true perfect loop
There both me. Its just that the 2 PARTS of me wouldnt be able to communicate therefore acting independently
I think that i have a 2 brain
When I first saw that video 6 years ago I LOST MY SH1T.
I never forgot that ever since
Is that why I do things that I don't understand?
Sorry right brain, I don't mean it
-sincerely left brain
oh there are way more than two people in my head

Tbh, if there's two of me, we're just chilling.
i don’t want to be two1!1!!1!1!1! 😡😡😡😡😡😡
im from tpot?
what?

so the right side of the brain is taking the left one hostige? I mean the other way around, right broke free for a second.
I felt self love watching this video.I felt self love watching this video.I felt self love watching this video.

So when I refer to my brain as a separate entity, I’m really just talking about that motherfucker controlling my left hand
You think my other side might be gay?
I wonder if the Right-brain is our internal monologue or background thoughts, while the Left-brain is more conscious speaking thoughts.
So your saying that i’m never alone😊

KURZGESTAGT
What if you got the iPads to text each other but neither side knew and just thought it was a chatbox
No, I’m not two people, I’m 19. Thanks trauma.

So are you split brain, Grey? Or did you act out all of that split brain footage? If the latter, I would love to see bloopers.
1:05 what is the original video from
I came from a channel with birds talking about how I'm made of a lot of cells.
I wanna have two brains.
So when you second guess yourself is your right brain talking???
Trippy
I dont wanna get my brain splitted but id really like to experience that feeling
As a left handed person, although this was surprising to learn, somehow this didn't feel like something I had to rationalize and explain to myself. I wonder if writing centers are in the left brain?
I'm pretty sure my right brain is the smart one.
dose that make a reason of exotropia?
What happens if you separate the brain halves at birth? Would the right brain not resign to cooperation with the left brain like usual?
Can you give source
This is pretty interesting
This explains all the self-sabotajing in my life jsnsndjm
Your how I originally found in a nutshell, thanks!!
Wait wait wait, so can you have like, two voices in your head instead of one? Because I feel like sometimes there's a second voice in my head
