It's amazing to consider that I'm holding in my hands
The place where someone once felt, thought, and loved
For centuries, scientists have been battling to understand
What this unappealing object is all about
Here is this mass of jelly
You can hold in the palm of your hands
And it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space
The brain has evolved from the inside out
It's structure reflects all the stages through which it has passed
Information in the form of energy Streams in simultaneously
Through all of our sensory systems
And then it explodes into this enormous collage
Of what this present moment looks like
What it feels like And what it sounds like
it explodes into this enormous collage
And in this moment we are perfect
We are whole and we are beautiful
【Robert Winston】It appears rather gruesome
Wrinkled like a walnut, and with the consistency of mushroom
【Carl Sagan】What we know is encoded in cells called neurons
And there are something like a hundred trillion neural connections
This intricate and marvelous network of neurons has been called
An enchanted loom
The neurons store sounds too, and snatches of music
Whole orchestras play inside our heads
20 million volumes worth of information
Is inside the heads of every one of us
The brain is a very big place In a very small space
【Jill Bolte Taylor】Information in the form of energy Streams in simultaneously
Through all of our sensory systems
And then it explodes into this enormous collage
Of what this present moment looks like
What it feels like And what it sounds like
【Carl Sagan】No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain
We can change ourselves
Think of the possibilities
Think of your brain as a newspaper
Think of all the information it can store
But it doesn't take up too much room Because it's folded
We see with the eyes
But we see with the brain as well
And seeing with the brain
Is often called imagination

【Jill Bolte Taylor】And then it explodes into this enormous collage
And in this moment we are perfect
We are whole and we are beautiful
【Robert Winston】It is the most mysterious part of the human body
And yet it dominates the way we live our adult lives
It is the brain
