How does Wired find all these really charismatic professionals? Seriously, every series where they have a professional coming in and explaining their field always has someone who's funny, not condascending, and really good at explaining complex things conscisely.

[beckyandanime]

Bring him back! He explained things so well and clearly. Actually understood what he was saying.

[k_a_y_l_e_e]

honestly, i could legit listen to him speak all day.

[masterimbecile]

6:20 I asked my ASL teacher once how deaf people dream. He received mainstream education since little (I.e. a deaf person going to hearing school and learned to speak), but in his dream, everyone uses sign language, even his hearing parents and friends/teachers.

Me watching this video is a brain watching a brain trying to explain brains. That's meta.

[Butterflier]

"Some people with really good memories have a lot of problems in their lives because they simply can't forget" THIS IS SOOOO

[myrtoula]

oh my i just never wanted this video to end

[ArngrimTV]

I like this guy, he genuinely answers everything, and actually explains things understandably.

[Unhate]

This is great, this is what YouTube is for. Thank you. I'd like part 2.

[jillxox]

I plan on majoring in neuroscience in college, and this video made me even more excited to graduate and eventually become a neuroscientist!

So... neuroscience is basically the brain learning about the brain....

[_innerpeacekeeper]

I loved this so much! Thanks Anil Seth for explaining things so well for us laymen. My son has autism, and I've become quite interested in how the brain works.

[masterimbecile]

Wonder how much of this information would become outdated in 10 years. Not hating on him or anything, its just that we are learning so much about our brain all the time.

Brain is the only organ that is learning about itself. Crazy if you think about it.

[ApPillon]

He can explain this stuff so easily without using hard words, showcasing that actually he’s really smart in his field

[santoshpss]

I got a dream where my late grandfather visited my family’s house, I was there, and I welcomed him, shook his hand and everything... felt really real... I wish I could control dreams, make them last all night, so that I could make anything I wanted, go anywhere I want... I hope there would be new technology to make that happen...

[TheFranc]

The amount of interesting brain stuff in this video is too damm high.
please, give him a regular series, I need more neuro science stuff.

[chelseashurmantine]

He sounds like a supervillain. A crazy smart and powerful supervillain

[dizzylbnt]

You simply can't study neuroscience without learning about Phineas Gage lol

[rejuvenatingsoul]

He looks like the Hitman who got bored of contract killing and got a neuroscience degree instead.

Edit: Thanks for the likes though.

Edit 2: LMAO 4k likes, let's see if this beats my all time best of 8k likes. Hi Reddit it's u/vrevdude

[denizkaptan]

I swear this is the most beautiful accent & voice combination I've ever heard.
