Dr. Andrew Huberman on Reticular Activating System (RAS)

I do not own the video, I'm just reposting it so that this beautiful message gets more noticed.

Thats what Youtube does to us. The more we seek and focus on a specific subject, the more the algo feeds us content about it

[ÜberAlain]

I'm only impressed by his true passion for science. At the very end he openly admits he can't know enough to see the big picture. We all have finite focus and energy but awareness is expansive.
Keep growing it for yourself!

Thanks for this, I was explicitly looking for a video of Dr Huberman explaining the RAS. This was perfect

[GoldenChild]

Never heard the scientific elaboration of RAS. Love it!!! It all makes sense!! Thanks for sharing!!! 🧠💡⚡🚨👀

It’s funny how he used the exact same example of a Bronco, as Mel Robbins did on her video about this same subject.

Kinda feels like it may play a role in the mechanics of self fulfilling prophecy

[Bobbyholland]

I really appreciate this video and it’s content I want to be a better student and a better user of my brain

[prof.keebler]

Where can I get more info on this? What textbook did you read Dr Huberman?

While it is understandable is when non-neuroscience folks use the word RAS to appear smart to present their views, it is surprising that even some of the neuroscience community is also lured into this concept of glorifying RAS. In this entire conversation if we replace the term RAS with Brain the outcome and meaning remains same. There is nothing they tell you about how you can manipulate RAS because you cannot. Use the word RAS and then suggest to have right intentions, focus, consciousness or attention to say you will achieve your goal.
RAS to me is simply a gatekeeper before the thalamus that relays the signals forward. Whatever conscious things we do Brain ultimately has to process it. So its the same as manifestation, law of attraction, motivation, volition, willingness etc all are the same wine in different bottles. RAS is overrated for a rather an inconsequential thing
It's like saying that the sphincter muscle is the gatekeeper for your stomach so it is responsible for losing your weight. Just make sure you are conscious of what you eat 🤠
RAS is overrated and a big business in the coaching community.

that was enriching. curious. too much dopamine and you have mania, too much serotonin and you dont want to get out of bed, because you're blissed out! is there such thing as too much oxytocin?

[satwik]

How does huberman knows this stuff? Did they experiment on human brain? Blocking the reticulate formation etc?

Hit that like button on your way in 👍
Shoutout to my gatekeeper(s)

[antalperge]

😍 I prefer YOU & ANDREW compared to those fake gurus, like Gregg Braden, Dispenza 🤭

[CoconutPete]

I get the funny feeling this guy isn't a doctor

[bestvideosever]

never heard so much to understand absolute ZERO about the TOPIC, this guy should not walk around and above, just to seam be smart ! i bet 100 bucks his oponent understood ZERO what he just told.
