Let's Find Out - The Human Brain (part 2): Explaining ASMR [science, psychology, anatomy]

Episode Date: May 1, 2019

This book on the human brain is packed with facts and explanations. Let's see if we can make some connections with neuro-anatomy, psychology and ASMR's. I'm convinced there's an intimate correlation with our social nature and it's effects like grooming, hugging, and other forms of close communication. Thanks for watching. 😴Video featured is by brilliant creator, ASMRctica. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDlD1vHkdoU&t=834s #ASMR #Science #Psychology

reading the first two pages the other day. We're not sure I'd make him one flipping through it. Seeing all these different areas, sitting in a bar description to this video of his, he's so in tune with what makes ASMR. Let's go ahead and open this book up. Bounce through ASMR. So I read this in a dire.

an entire hour to get through last time so we went through the basic function of the brain perception of it that the Egyptians and many other ancients

didn't even think the brain did anything they thought they thought the mind was this is a cross section of our brains from our face back

The frontal cortex is mostly, most recently evolved part of the prefrontal cortex, and is most, mostly involved in forward, which makes sense why it's so hard. Registering stimuli, and then responding by generating action in the process. it also generates subjective. It's important when the ASMR because your spine, the body is that it can relax. Your brain is determined. It's in a very safe, non-anxiety-provoking, very explored territory, and you can predict to be making any abrupt sounds. And this is completely speculation right here, but I think that feel ASMR, you have to allow yourself to be empathetic,

to be receptive, and to be open to considering another's point. Less physical a matter of sits at the desovia of the spinal cord in the nerve. Instead of being has its own factory, but he triggered the trigger. nerve impulses that pass along this nerve to olfactory bulb. Then trigeminal nerve is your chin forehead. Facial nerve is the tongue. Two-thirds of the tongue. So it looks like hearing directly connected to your brain stem.

Perceiving and sensing and sorting, like sorting through the data that we perceive. there are modes that we have no bearing on consciously whatsoever. It's a stimuli, stimulus, and our brains that have been with us and are just modified from generation to generation very slightly and more slightly from species to species. is what one way of viewing it is as a media said that we can never directly experience the world because we are the creation of our minds brains and our body it processes and filters out so much information that we are only privy to a little minute bit of the external world at any given moment And you see there are studies that show that the human eye can only focus by definition on a very, very small area of the visual field. And from there, like the size of a thumb or something, and everything outside of that is decreasingly lower and lower resolution.

And that's a good analogy of the rest of our body the way we work. Because our brains are highly, highly complex. And we can think about deeply. We have to not our brains evolved to enable animals to respond to environmental changes. It has evolved to its present complexity. Origins such as light into vibrations. sensory cells are in turn connected to the surface tissue is a crude you can imagine simplest system as seen in this hydrop a tiny aquatic invertebrate consists of

the basic vertebrates nuclei alone are sufficient to produce this basic vertebra does not include more advanced features such as the limbic system or the cerebral cordial which exists.
