What did we learn from this video: - there are people who has increased artistic abilities after brain damage. - certain brain areas are related to certain activities. - we dont know how the brain damage causes increased artistic abilities. What is the title of the video: How brain damage can make you genius How does title relate to the content: Click bait to a scientific sounding gibberish. Please improve the content of the next videos or consider to change your script writer. Dont pollute STEM section on youtube.

    I love when fiction is written with an inspiration from reality. Although this would only apply for base instincts as I don't see how memories could get sent from your brain to your sex organs. At best you could alter your epigenome through experiences (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2579375/ fun paper to check out if you want to go down that rabbit hole) but I don't see how you could alter your genetics to have your current memories due to how memory is a reconstruction that'd only really make sense to the original creator of that memory. In any case this video is more focused on how our genetics cause our brains to wire a certain way and thus contribute to our conscious experience with a shared or universal human experience. In a sense this is sort of true, but there's obviously going to be environmental factors that might make your experience unique to just you even if initially you had similar wiring to everyone else.

    This happened to one of my mechanical engineering professors. After a bad accident climbing in canyons, and recovery, he suddenly was full of creative pursuits. He taught me to weld, machine, and forge. He spends his free time collecting scrap metal to use for art installations, which he builds compulsively. Texas Country Reporter did a segment on him. Years later, brain cancer did something similar to me, but, with a lot of not so chill effects, as one can imagine.

    that's a misconception. while reduced bloodflow can make a brain area decrease its abilities, more bloodflow cannot make a brain area increase its abilities. but neuroplasticity (meaning other parts of the brain compensating for the lost abilities of the damaged brain area) does happen a lot (although it takes time and training). so you were right of that phenomenom, but were wrong about the explanation. still it does not make you a savant. when brain damage makes you a savant, it's because some specific areas of your brain are damaged, which would otherwise inhibit some special abilities, because before the damage, not having those special abilities makes you more adapted to daily life and survival

    Carls Jungs theories of the collective unconscious containing hundreds of archetypal symbols that underpins our religions and culture has been scientifically vindicated by the Electric Universe group at Thunderbolts.info They do plasma research and many of the symbols have been duplicated in electric plasma labs. The other place the symbols occur is in ancient rocks and the ancients saw cataclysmic plasma displays in the sky that wiped out most human and animal life. So the ancients were right to record these scary happenings. It never occurred to Carl Jung that the sky in ancient times was vastly different to what we see today. Not his fault. So he was RIGHT after all. And this lovely documentary explains the origins of Jungs symbols that he catalogued visiting isolated cultures all over the world.

Our biggest mistake today is assuming our unchanging skies today have always been that way.

    I was bad at sports until the age of 9. Had a concussion on the left side, woke up not knowing anybody. Had problems studying, remembering simple things. A few yrs later I would b good at everything I found an interest in, to a point I was able to master wat ever I focused on & surpassed within months that other ppl struggled to master after yrs of practice. It's something that always baffled me & I always felt it had something to do with that concussion

    I'm pretty skeptical about the first guy. I can maybe imagine getting your neurons scrambled in just the right way might make it where you have a greater ability to understand music, but playing piano is about WAY more than your brain. It involves muscle memory which literally takes thousands of hours to develop. And it literally happens in the muscles and even the bones of your hands, so a knock on the head isn't going to affect that at all.

    At 4 years old while in preschool, I was playing tag and tripped on a water hose, hitting my forehead on the corner of a metal sink (no fucking idea why there was a sink outside). Gash was a quarter sized, my dad told me that doctors had clear view of my brain. After that, as early as 7 years old I gained a crippling fear of mortality, and death. I constantly worried about the days where my parents would die, pets would die, and then I would wonder what comes after that? That young, I couldn’t rationalize any of it. Sometimes I think it was that fall that jolted my subconscious into worrying about death. Interesting video showing the positives of such events!

    I believe everyone of us is a genius. All it takes is the ability and patients for you to be able to listen to your self and keep practicing certain thought patterns/rhythms in your brain. You just need to practice thinking and concentration/focus. Your brain is like a muscle, the more you exercise it the stronger it becomes. Your brain is also very elastic and stretchy and the more stretching it the more you can do with it the more intelligence you release. Don't ignore your thoughts or your weaknesses but you think you have, use them as an advantage and they will become your strengths. I really have no idea what I'm talking about, I can barely read or write.

    the ad at the end for brilliant struck a cord in me. when I was very young I fell out of a tree and head my head in multiple places on the way down, having hit my head on multiple branches, the wooden railing of the tree house, and the ground on the way down. I became a talented mathematician. up until 9th grade, where a teacher destroyed my mathematic capability by forcing me to explain how I got to the results. I couldn't explain how I got there, because I didn't know how. I instantly knew the answers to the variables and to the equation. In the bit about brilliant, there was a cryptogram. I struggled with variable math the last time I tried it. this time, I solved it in a less than a second. I instantly knew. B can only equal 5 because given the positioning of 1B + B6 = 71 this inherently means that the numbers in the equation must be 15 + 56 = 71. I thought I had completely lost this ability, thank you!

    Savant and genius are different concepts. One makes you exceptional at something like art, music, or math, etc. Genius is a more abstract term. Head trauma making someone smarter in general or developing sudden genius syndrome comes with trade offs. It's not necessarily what people imagine or fantasize about. There's a cost for everything. This takes me to Phineas Gage and his behavioral and personality changes.

    It sounds like things the brain processed and didn't consciously absorb. Like the subconscious is holding on to what it's processed of music and anatomy but not giving that back in the form of composing and artistry. If you've ever listened to a language a lot and felt like you SHOULD know what they're saying by now but you just can't grasp it, that's a good example of something your brain picked up but won't share. I have no idea why this happens but often people who get brain injuries and wake up fluent in a language they never learned are nearly always found to have had a lot of exposure to that language before their accident (be it listening to subtitled anime or learning german in high school and enjoying listening to the language). It's been shown before that the brain locks away things that the conscious mind can't handle, like memories or skills, so if we're taught that we need to learn things before we can do them, then why wouldn't the brain use that teaching to add a block in childhood to keep us from knowing things we feel like we haven't put enough work into yet?

I know people who practice art/drawing everyday and they aren't as good as me or my siblings. I hate it when people say that talent doesn't matter amd practice makes perfect. No, in some people, no matter how much they practice they can't become really skilled if they don't have an eye for details and can't see mistakes/asymmetries. This documentary proves that real artistic talent is heavily influenced by brain structure.
