[ashtongrist]

You can't study a subject that knows its being studied. This women needs to have her medical license removed.

[unassumption]

His dad is a redneck asshole ._.

[ashtongrist]

@unassumption Yeah he seems like a total twat. I don't need a corpus callosum to tell me what a fucking judgmental cunt he is.

[Omegawolfkia]

ekman? like paul ekman? O.o

[albedoshader]

@Omegawolfkia: Yeah. The faces are from his well-known book.

I was born without a corpus callosum and the only effect it has had on me was i write like i am 5 and that i have trouble playing the piano or guitar

[GuacamoleKun]

Wow, it's crazy how normal he seems though.

Also I wonder how often this gets diagnosed as Asperger's.

[MakkaPakka666]

What a self-absorbed bitch, trying so hard to turn the focus on herself. You`re not interesting. The guy with the split brain is..

[ijtheibert]

This guy is really brave for not only volunteering to try to help pathfind this, but to go ahead and say "yeah, I'm ok with you sharing this information with the world." I doubt he'll ever read this, but good on ya, mate.

[winterstellar]

I think those tests are a bit dumb. They should ask "what do you think the person has been told to pretend that he/she is feeling here", not "what are they feeling?" Because it's very easy to see that they're faking it. To avoid any confusion they should refrase the question. : )

[winterstellar]

@winterstellar At least *rephrase it*.. : )

[albedoshader]

@winterstellar: You’re missing a point or two. These people show the basic emotions which can be read even by the people farthest away from civilization. Read some of Ekman‘s work before making such a bold statement. These people were trained to move every facial muscle consciously, so all the real signs of the emotions in question are there.

[sacr3]

right, she goes on saying she is doing this because she experienced it and she just wants to help... Bullshit. Every person says this for more views - the more you "feel" for your patients the more people will respect you. Anywho, Brain is fascinating.. makes me wonder why it works in 2 hemispheres and not just 1

[corvey]

What an asshole dad that finally realized that yelling wouldn't do any good...

[sacr3]

@corvey Right, no parent should yell/punish because they're automatically assholes. Simply talking to a child that is "normal" doesn't work. They'll understand that when they do something bad they'll simply get "talked too" which isn't threatening in any manner. So they will continue to do the "bad things" because the consequences aren't bad.

[wonchisonvarity]

Hey whats the name of the documentary?

[bernlin2000]

Very fascinating...neuroscience is just awesome

[ashtongrist]

@bernlin2000 Don't confuse quakery with neuroscience.

[1989Gez1989]
