[00:00.50]It's amazing to consider that I'm holding in my hands [00:05.00]The place where someone once felt, thought, and loved [00:10.00]For centuries, scientists have been battling to understand [00:13.00]What this unappealing object is all about [00:20.00]Here is this mass of jelly [00:23.00]You can hold in the palm of your hands [00:26.00]And it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space [00:31.00]The brain has evolved from the inside out [00:37.00]It's structure reflects all the stages through which it has passed [00:40.50]Information in the form of energy Streams in simultaneously [00:46.00]Through all of our sensory systems [00:52.00]And then it explodes into this enormous collage [00:57.00]Of what this present moment looks like [01:00.50]What it feels like And what it sounds like [01:03.50]it explodes into this enormous collage [01:07.50]And in this moment we are perfect [01:11.00]We are whole and we are beautiful [01:14.50]【Robert Winston】It appears rather gruesome [01:17.00]Wrinkled like a walnut, and with the consistency of mushroom [01:23.50]【Carl Sagan】What we know is encoded in cells called neurons [01:29.50]And there are something like a hundred trillion neural connections [01:33.50]This intricate and marvelous network of neurons has been called [01:39.00]An enchanted loom [01:45.50]The neurons store sounds too, and snatches of music [01:50.50]Whole orchestras play inside our heads [01:56.00]20 million volumes worth of information [01:59.00]Is inside the heads of every one of us [02:02.00]The brain is a very big place In a very small space [02:05.50]【Jill Bolte Taylor】Information in the form of energy Streams in simultaneously [02:12.00]Through all of our sensory systems [02:16.00]And then it explodes into this enormous collage [02:22.00]Of what this present moment looks like [02:24.50]What it feels like And what it sounds like [02:29.00]【Carl Sagan】No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain [02:33.00]We can change ourselves [02:36.00]Think of the possibilities [02:38.00]Think of your brain as a newspaper [02:42.00]Think of all the information it can store [02:44.00]But it doesn't take up too much room Because it's folded [02:49.50]We see with the eyes [02:53.00]But we see with the brain as well [02:56.00]And seeing with the brain [02:59.00]Is often called imagination [03:02.50] [03:10.50]【Jill Bolte Taylor】And then it explodes into this enormous collage [03:16.00]And in this moment we are perfect [03:20.00]We are whole and we are beautiful [03:26.50]【Robert Winston】It is the most mysterious part of the human body [03:29.00]And yet it dominates the way we live our adult lives [03:33.00]It is the brain
