This Experiment Exposes How The Brain Really Works

Watch this video on YouTube ↗
Neil deGrasse Tyson, joined by co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly, interviews David Eagleman about how the brain constructs our perception of time, stretching frightening moments, hiding gaps in vision, and even reversing perceived cause and effect. Eagleman also explains how disrupted neural timing may contribute to hallucinations and schizophrenia.
