Why We Love Scary Things? I A Look Inside The Brain

Why do we like scary movies, and why do we watch them again and again? In this video, Dr. Kushner explores why we enjoy horror. We talk about the excitement of being scared and why we like those surprise moments that make us jump. We also look into the science of fear and why it's interesting to our BRAINS.
Whether you're a big fan of scary movies or just curious about why we like them, this video is for you!

    I have watched tons of videos. Your explanation is very simple to understand. Love it. Would you plan to make a video of Meditation on brain and overall health covering the nuances of the changes that the body and mind goes thru. Thank you again for all your effort. Subscribed and liked.
