The Human Brain (part 1): A Brief History | ASMR whisper [science, history]

Description: Part 2: The Human Brain (part 2): Explaining ASMR [science, psychology, anatomy]

The human brain is like nothing else. It's only 3 pounds and from the outside layer, it just sort of looks like a round, corrugated grey blob with the consistency of something between jelly and cold butter. It doens't expand or shrink like the lungs, pump like the heart, or secrete visible material like the bladder.

But inside this unprepossesing structure that caps the body, lies the most complex structure we've yet encountered in all our probings of the universe. It's the seat of consciousness: able to think about itself, no to mention the environment it resides in. It autonomously keeps the rest of the body in motion, our emotions balanced, our chemicals at near ideal ratios.

It even has a boggling adaptive nature that can compensate and maintain relatively normal functioning even if huge parts of it are destroyed. And although technology is allowing us more insight than ever, we still haven't the fainest clue what makes us awake and aware of the world around us.

Let's find out a little about the brain and the steps we've taken to explore it so far. Thanks for watching.

As a psych major I appreciate being able to procrastinate and study for my exams at the same time

“If you sliced the top of the brain and looked inside, you wouldn’t see much happening”
Yep sounds about right for me

[fredtrox]

Ironic that our knowledge of the brain is limited by our brains comprehension of it

The brain is the only organ that named itself. Think about that. Great video as always, and I always love seeing Susan grace us with her beauty .

I swear when I wake up from your ASMR Videos I become 10 times smarter then when I fell asleep

[zellixir]

as a cog neuroscience student who is obsessed with soft whisper asmr, this video is a literal gem.

Glad you find the brain as interesting as I have. I found it so interesting, I got a BA in psychology with a minor in neuroscience (sadly my uni doesn’t have a Neuro major yet). And I’m currently a research assistant at a lab working on an aspect of Alzheimer’s disease. Love the video man!

I'm gonna need these to step their game up because somebody ain't doing their job correctly. I got too much of one and not enough of the other.

Hey I just watched a part of this video but I’m brought to tears because your descriptions, fascination and curiosity is so inspiring. I’m a psychology major and thank you for reminding me why I study what I do. I’m fascinated yes, that’s why I think about it everyday, but the infinite thirst for knowledge fueled by curiosity and powered by awe has dimmed in me since the time I was little. I remember the feeling of awe I had staring at the stars, just contemplating, I feel that through you for this subject. Thank you for this.

Susan is an excellent manager 🥰
Also really interesting and relaxing video! One of the best naps I have ever had 👍

Can u do a video on Leonardo da Vinci? Notably his anatomy research, his engineering designs and his overall genius?

[thelonecookie]

That 1 dislike is from The Manager because she couldn't come in

Lets find out ASMR: waking up a bit smarter everyday

[taylorreiter]

I was a neuroscience major before I switched to psychology so I could pursue being a therapist, I mainly clicked on this video because I’m always interested to learn about someone’s specific interest in the brain. The amygdala has a lot of different responsibilities and it’s incredibly interesting, I hope you looked into it.

[OrcChops]

My brain told me to click this as fast as possible

I used to love reading my dad’s old psychology textbooks from when he was in college - I felt like I was learning secrets no one else knew or something 😂I love listening to these, because it’s hard to read or even listen to audiobooks due to a neurological illness

[clarav]

I think I finally found my ASMR niche.

[didithurt]

I’m always struggling so hard to stay awake during your videos because they’re so interesting but also so relaxing 😆

[phazebeast]

That intro !😁 we are all blessed with another asmr vid from rich & the manager ! Lol
