Tom Wujec on 3 ways the brain creates meaning

think of how terrible it would be to be born blind

Is there a way to get the sketches from the beginning online ?

If anyone is interested, just google BigViz which will take to you TED blog and you can download it from there, it's great

you have a problem, see a therapist. eventually the karma police.

Grandiose. Very useful ideas, but he could use time in the sensory tank.

his conclusion is circular. This video should be retitled: How the brain creates vision from visual stimuli. He focuses ONLY on how the visual system makes meaning, then goes on to conclude that "we make meaning by seeing." Also, his conclusions/'lessons' have nothing to do with the brain facts he spits out early on.

This is design. No science here. Don't get confused people.

In what field is your science doctorate? Just curious. Helps me to understand your perspective on the material, especially the brain visualization part. Have you read The Triune Brain in Evolution by Paul MacLean (U.S. medical doctor and neuroscientist)? (BTW, i think the Wikipedia info on Triune Brain is not completely accurate, especially if you follow all the footnote trails about its non-acceptance by certain researchers.)

I am not certain, but i think all these other senses are merging in and around the limbic region to give us feelings about what we are visualizing. The vid mentioned feelings being attached in the limbic area.

First part of vid is great in largely confirming Paul McLean Triune Brain model. Visualization begins with light stream flowing to back of brain, where R-complex and evolutionary extensions are located and where basic IDing occurs, then eventually onto the limbic area where feelings are attached, and finally onto the neocortex where we analyze, imagine, and verbalize what we see. I do not claim to be any kind of expert. I am fascinated by McLeans theory and want to learn more about it.
