Beautiful Minds The Einstein Effect 5/5

[Ralph6485]

the brain is nothing more than an objectification of the mind -that is, the mirror in which the mind reflects itself. 'Monks meditate'

[BarkyDarks]

I wish I knew what I'm good at

[Zee96969696]

that last song was pretty good

[Q3020Q]

What is the piano music at 4:50 !!!!

[TheVideoSupreme]

i dont believe that neurons arent build after 25 but damn if i lived my whole life in the US i'd sure have felt the same way....

[jwmillerusa]

1:24 and 1:34

[maxeomai]

"Within a minute, I realized he knew.....a lot."

You can tell which one is the savant.

[bcpuron]

whats the name of the song they keep playing?

[deloreans8]

At 8:38 so if so much brain cells are to play in hurting people with autism then would an autistic person that does drugs not have as bad of a case of autism?

[s2003m0205]

do you realize that all of them are male.

[fashanu1000]

i wish i was a genius

@98646421 Yeah. poor guy. He said so much still to teach.

RIP Kim Peek

Why do I get the feeling that a hundred years from now scientists are going to be looking back on this and laughing out how ridiculous our notions of brain science are. Not unlike the way that we look back at phrenology, today.

[chicofreson]

@Jcolinsol but they also will know that without these studies.. they may not get where they'll be in a hundred years.

[longfootbuddy]

@Jcolinsol scientists always think they are at the top of the mountain.. dont try to use logic with them

[TustiFaith]

Fantastic documentary. Thanks so much for posting it.

It's so sad to learn that neurons disappear in teenage years. I feel like going out and doing everything now.

[LetMeBeYourGhost]

@lennic95 I know. When I heard that, I was like what?! I'm 18, so I feel like if I ever want to learn to do something, I have to do it now. Kinda makes me wanna cry.

[ninjatoothpaste]

@lennic95 If you take SNRIs you slow the atrophy of neuronal networks, add something like modafinil to that to boost neuroplasticity and dopamine for motivation and creativity, then maybe boost thyroid output slightly (levothyroxine) which increases basal metabolic rate, neurogenesis (creation of new neurons) and neuromaturation - that's what I did to chemically speed up my recovery (memory and balance problems from seizures and inner ear infection respectively), it worked despite doctors advice

[ninjatoothpaste]

@ninjatoothpaste Doctors told me that my brain would either repair/compensate or it wouldn't. I learned a great deal of neuroscience and biology, came up with my own theories and predictions and then researched medications - that combination worked for me, it worked even more effectively than I expected - it actually has allowed me to jump up 10 IQ points within 6 weeks of treatment, I'm continuing the treatment to see where it will end. I have major depressive disorder - see Sapolsky lectures

[ninjatoothpaste]

@ninjatoothpaste for more on that - it causes atrophy of the brain in the long term (causes isn't really the right word but you get what I mean :)

[longfootbuddy]

@lennic95 dont believe everything they tell you

[longfootbuddy]

@lennic95 in fact, dont believe anything those fools tell you

[ImNotALemon]

@lennic95 It's not the neurons disappearing but rather the connections between them. From ten to twenty about two thirds of axons are pruned from the brain, but this just makes it a whole lot more precise.

[IGetMoney92212]

it's called the einstein effect because of the common belief that because einstein displayed symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome he may have been autistic....it is simply an exploration of possible connections between mild and severe autism and genius level intellect or prodigious talent...

[befuturenow]

Why is this series called "The Einstein Effect"? That is not properly explained, and it needs to be, because if you are even remotely suggesting that this encompassing genius of our time was remotely autistic, then you are a whole lot more stupid than you look. Einstein didn't do "sums" , memorize presidents make little figures. He REWROTE science in a series of singular revolutions that left the entire field of his illustrious contemporaries litetrally gasping in the dust.

[CorporationLulz]

@befuturenow I agree with you, the title is very misleading, and I question the title of "genius" they give the subjects in the video.

[bluefootedpig]

@befuturenow You missed a part then. It is saying that genius comes from our brain not using emotional remembrance to guide it. Without this part of the brain, you can look at the world from a more realistic perspective, and find the truths in it. This series is not saying that Einstein was a savant, merely that if his brain was slightly autistic, that could explain why he was a genius. Many engineers have this, even more so on the grad level, as they dive deep into science.

[philbertlamblips]

@befuturenow and all of the of the other regular geniuses out there. you r sooo right...what happened to the day when retards were just retards? god like why do they deserve jobs and talent and shit. uh as if.

[wtfronsson]

I need to get an EKG meter and search my mindsets or whatever. Maybe I can find my Zone.

[lordtalon69]

To the guy in the previous video who said steven is merely copying what he remembers and isn't really creating art that is not true.

The drawings are precise but even if I looked at the picture of the video of flying over rome I could never draw that specifically to scale what I was seeing because I am not artistically inclined. I think it is art and just amazing at that.

[255ad]

did he? really I dint know that it

[cryonyits07done]

kim peak died last year!

[trbelk]

amazing

[dukandaar]

thanks for uploading this dude ... great program

[thepianoaddict]

nice thanks for uploading :)
