Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neurotransmissions-elon-musk-and-the-hubris-of-neuralinkElon Musk, the world's richest man, is the co-founder of Neuralink, a company that plans to connect the human brain with computers. But in the six years since it was founded, has it lived up to the Musk hype? Well, it seems like it's starting to dawn on Elon that the brain isn't as simple as it seems and that the creation of brain-computer interface technology can only get you so far.

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neurotransmissions-the-scandal-that-shoook-psychology-to-its-coreIn 2011, a scandal broke in psychology that made everyone question whether any of its research could really be believed. For the last decade, psychology has grappled with the aftermath and has tried to understand what went wrong. The ensuing crisis of confidence comes from a replication crisis in the field that we’ve seen over and over through all of science.

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neurotransmissions-bring-back-asylums-but-betterIf you hear the word “asylum”, it most likely conjures creepy, horror vibes. Mental hospitals have long been the source of mystery and curiosity, but what if I told you that we need to bring them back. Just...better. Thanks to deinstitutionalization, psychiatric beds have disappeared at an alarming rate in the past fifty years. But let me say that, overall, I think that's actually been harmful to mental health care. So let's take a deep dive into the complicated past of these scorned institutions and see what kind of role they should play today.Chapters:0:00 The legacy of asylums2:55 Shifting thoughts about mental illness5:33 Moral treatment and the first asylums8:00 The steady decline13:21 Deinstitutionalization16:11 The failed promise18:26 Getting yelled at19:05 The argument for reopening asylums25:12 My personal experience26:32 Swinging the pendulum back28:52 What would modern asylums look like?Buy our book, Brains Explained! amzn.to/3hkmCdo---Find us on social media (Twitter, FB, Insta) and check out our website: https://www.neurotransmissions.science Join our Discord server: discord.gg/rD6wjQa7VsIf you like what we do, support our work by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/neurotransmissionsWe couldn’t do all of this without our awesome Patreon Producers, Ryan M.

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neurotransmissions-we-need-to-talk-about-bad-therapistsIf you or someone you know has been in therapy before, there's a deceent chance that you have a story about a "bad therapist". But how can you tell? And what can you do about it? Therapy is a complex process that combines the professional with the deeply personal, which can sometimes make it difficult to differentiate between discomfort that arises from the therapy process and discomfort that results from a bad therapist. Sometiems it's quite clear-cut. We need to talk about bad therapists, especially the difference between therapists who are the wrong fit versus therapists who are wrongdoers. And if you ever have an encounter with an unethical therapist, I'll tell you what to do to respond.This video focuses on a lot of negative aspects that might be seen in a therapy setting, but it is worth reiterating that the vast majority of therapists do a good job and act in a legal and ethical manner.Visit brilliant.org/NeuroTransmissions to get started learning STEM for free, and the first 200 people will get 20% off their annual premium subscription.List of licensing boards in the U.S.: opencounseling.com/blog-posts/therapist-license-checkThere is a wide range of bad behaviors that a therapist can engage in, but here is an (incomplete) list of signs that you're seeing a bad therapist:- They do not ask relevant questions or appear disorganized in their thoughts- They fall asleep in session- They fail to develop and enact a plan for therapy that aligns with your goals- They frequently miss, cancel, or show up late to appointments- They make frequent errors in scheduling or billing- Their personal problems interfere with their ability to provide proper treatment- They downplay or avoid exploring any of your emotional or vulnerable feelings- They act as though they have all the answers and tell you what to do to fix things- They are frequently contentious or confrontational- They encourage you to blame your friends, family, or partner for your problems- They talk excessively about their personal issues without any therapeutic purpose- They’re not sensitive to beliefs or background- They misdiagnose you or overdiagnose you- They involve authorities when not necessary or do not when needed- They keep pushing a particular therapeutic approach that you aren’t interested in- They judge or criticize your behavior, lifestyle, or problems- They shame you for your mental illness- They force you to talk about something you’re not prepared to talk about- They impose their religious, spiritual, political, or social beliefs on you- They get angry or defensive with you if you try to challenge them or give feedback- They don’t tell you they’re a trainee or don’t have a proper license- They try to keep you in therapy against your will- They try to provide a service they’re not qualified or trained to provide- They break confidentiality and share your information or the info of other clients- They’re trying to be your friend- They abandon you by stopping service without giving you any time to find a new therapist- They try to convince you to get involved in another venture or business of theirs that isn’t related to therapy- They say things or take actions towards you that are clearly racist, homophobic, sexist, or otherwise overtly discriminatory- They’re trying to have a sexual relationship with you- They try to involve you in illegal behavior or engage in illegal behavior in front of you, such as insurance fraud- They are practicing without a license- They provide services that aren’t therapy or that are experimental, harmful, or dangerous- They sexually harass or assault youTimestamps:0:00 My last therapy session2:41 We need to talk about bad therapists4:28 The two kinds of "bad therapists"7:07 "Wrong fit" Therapists10:16 Signs that your therapist is the wrong fit11:36 What to do if your therapist is the wrong fit13:19 "Wrongdoer" Therapists14:38 The First Circle of Bad Therapist Hell15:46 Brilliant Ad17:26 The Second Circle of Bad Therapist Hell19:13 The Third Circle of Bad Therapist Hell20:06 What bad stuff can therapists do?21:02 What can you do if you have a bad therapist25:28 In conclusionBuy our book, Brains Explained! amzn.to/3hkmCdoIf you like what we do, support our work by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/neurotransmissionsWe couldn’t do all of this without our awesome Patreon Producers, Ryan M.

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neurotransmissions-your-brain-on-covid-2022We’ve learned a lot about COVID’s effects on the brain over the past two years. And frankly, it’s not pretty. Brain fog, “long COVID”, sudden death, all resulting from neurological damage done by this awful virus. Despite quarantines, masks and vaccines, we’re still in the middle of the pandemic, and it’s still unclear if the end is in sight - or if it will ever end. But knowledge is power. So let me tell you about everything we’ve learned about what this coronavirus does to your brain.

Why I stopped watching football Neuro Transmissions 2022-01-19 | Wanna watch this video without ads and see all of our exclusive content? Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neurotransmissions-why-i-stopped-watching-footballAre you a football fan? So was I. But a few years ago, I learned some things that totally changed my mind. Football fans everywhere are prepping for the Super Bowl - the Big Game - but I’ll be sitting on the sidelines for this one and I can’t bring myself to participate in the NFL festivities, even if it can be very fun. The reason? I discovered so many awful truths about football (and contact sports in general) and their relationship with concussions, dementia, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. It was enough to turn me off of football, even as a native Wisconsinite and huge Packers fan. I hope you’ll hear me out and make up your own mind.

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-would-you-zap-your-brain-with-this-for-a-good-nights-sleepWould you shock your brain to cure your insomnia? How about your depression or anxiety? What if you could do it in the comfort of your own home with a hand-held device? That’s what cranial electrotherapy stimulation, or CES, proposes to do - just clip on a couple of funny little earbud-like wires, turn on your machine, and boom, insomnia cured! But how does this technology work, and how does it stack up to other kinds of brain stimulation? Is it even real or is it just a placebo? In this video, I’ll explore the tech and science behind CES, ECT (sometimes called electroshock therapy), and even tDCS (aka transcranial direct current stimulation), and dig into the claims made by a new neurotech company.To try out Brilliant for free and get 20% of a year of STEM learning, visit http://brilliant.org/NeuroTransmissionsTo check out the Sorosis Mini3 device and learn more about it, visit indiegogo.com/projects/sorosis-mini3-sleep-faster-longer-feel-better# Our video on the Apollo Neuro device: youtu.be/IuPSJqq6Ab0Buy our book, Brains Explained! amzn.to/3hkmCdoSources:Brunoni, André R., et al. “Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Acute Major Depressive Episodes: Meta-Analysis of Individual Patient Data.” British Journal of Psychiatry, doi:10.1192/bjp.bp.115.164715.Feighner, John P., et al. “Electrosleep Therapy.” The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, doi:10.1097/00005053-197308000-00004.Kavirajan, Harish C, et al. “Alternating Current Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) for Depression.” Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, doi:10.1002/14651858.cd010521.pub2.Rosa, Moacyr A, and Sarah H Lisanby. “Somatic Treatments for Mood Disorders.” Neuropsychopharmacology, doi:10.1038/npp.2011.225.“What Is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)?” What Is ECT?, www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/ect.Zaghi, Soroush, et al. “Noninvasive Brain Stimulation with Low-Intensity Electrical Currents: Putative Mechanisms of Action for Direct and Alternating Current Stimulation.” The Neuroscientist, doi:10.1177/1073858409336227.Zhou, Qi, et al. “The Effects of Repeated Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Sleep Quality and Depression Symptoms in Patients with Major Depression and Insomnia.” Sleep Medicine, doi:10.1016/j.sleep.2020.02.003.---Find us on social media (Twitter, FB, Insta) and check out our website: https://www.neurotransmissions.science Join our Discord server: discord.gg/rD6wjQa7VsIf you like what we do, support our work by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/neurotransmissionsWe couldn’t do all of this without our awesome Patreon Producers, Ryan M.

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-evolutionary-psychology-is-mostly-garbageDid our psyches evolve? Are human behaviors and thoughts subject to natural selection? If you ask an evolutionary psychologist, they would say yes, nearly every human action has a biological explanation. And yet, many take issue with this perspective and with the field of evolutionary psychology as a whole. It's sometimes seen as a fringe field. In this video, I outline my own thoughts regarding evolutionary psychology and some of the big issues that hold it back from being taken more seriously.To try out Brilliant for free and get 20% of a year of STEM learning, visit http://brilliant.org/NeuroTransmissionsBuy our book, Brains Explained! amzn.to/3hkmCdoSources:Buller, David J. “Four Fallacies of Pop Evolutionary Psychology.” Scientific American, doi:10.1038/scientificamericanhuman1112-44.Burke, Darren. “Why Isn't Everyone an Evolutionary Psychologist?” Frontiers in Psychology, doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00910.Holcomb, Harmon R. “Just so Stories and Inference to the Best Explanation in Evolutionary Psychology.” doi:10.1007/bf00389657.Lloyd, Elisabeth A., and Marcus W.

The Stoned Ape Theory is bad Neuro Transmissions 2021-10-20 | Wanna watch this video without ads and see all of our exclusive content? Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-the-stoned-ape-theory-is-badIs it possible that psychedelics brought about human language, our huge brains, and essentially all elements of our modern culture? Well, I made a video recently about what psychedelics do in the brain, but a lot of you felt bothered by the statement I made about this idea, the Stoned Ape Theory, being bad. So let’s talk about it! What is the Stoned Ape Hypothesis, and why exactly is it a bad theory? And if magic mushrooms aren’t the answer to how our human brains evolved, what are some of the theories that have maybe a little more support? Pascal Gagneux, PhD, a professor of anthropology and pathology at UC San Diego, joined us to talk about human origins, our relationship to psychedelic substances, and how much chimps love (ordinary, non-magic) mushrooms.

A (Brief) History of Brain Sciences Neuro Transmissions 2021-09-08 | Wanna watch this video without ads and see all of our exclusive content? Head over to nebula.tv/neurotransmissionsNeuroscience and psychology have a lot in common. But where does one begin and the other end? What are the differences? And how did we end up with these two different-yet-overlapping fields? It turns out that the history of brain science is diverse and winding, with roots going back to some of the earliest philosophers. In this video, both of us (Alie and Micah) will give you a *very* brief history of brain science, tell you exactly when psychology and neuroscience diverged from one another, and maybe more importantly, reveal how they still intersect. This episode was sponsored by Ryan Shaver, a philosophy graduate student and long-time supporter of Neuro Transmissions. He suggested the video topic and helped us refine the script. Thanks, Ryan, for all of your support and feedback.

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-why-incompetent-people-think-they-know-everythingYou ever know anyone who thinks they’re smarter than they actually are? Ever work with someone who’s way underqualified? Ever think back on your past self and cringe at your ignorance? Why is it that stupid people think they’re so smart? Well, it may have less to do with intelligence, and more with skill. The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias that makes people believe they are smarter and more capable than they actually are. You may have fallen for it yourself! I know I have. It’s a type of illusory superiority and it explains why inept people fail to recognize their lack of ability.

Head over to nebula.tv/neurotransmissionsFor a long time, American society has generally accepted the system in place that has protected us from the detrimental effects of scheduled drugs. But what if the "most dangerous drugs", Schedule 1 controlled substances, could actually be used to treat mental illnesses? And in fact, what if a big part of the whole drug scheduling system is broken? This isn't as farfetched as it seems.

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-should-police-respond-to-mental-health-callsIf you were in a mental health crisis and called for emergency services, who would you want coming to your aid? Right now in the US, local police have shouldered the burden of this kind of crisis response. But...should they? If we agree that our current system is not functioning as intended, then how can we change how mental health calls are dealt with?

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-the-sad-truth-about-seasonal-affective-disorderIf you often feel the winter blues, it may be more than normal sadness. While some welcome the change in seasons and the fresh snow of winter, others find themselves falling into feelings of depression. But this isn’t just short-lived “winter blues” or feeling sad that the sun is setting so early. Rather, seasonal affective disorder (or seasonal depression) is a serious mental health concern that affects your mood, your health, and your stress levels. So let’s explore the psychology behind this mood disorder and shed a little light (pun intended) on different therapies used to treat it!The first 1000 people to use the link in my description will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/neurotransmissions12201Huge thanks to Dr. NEMO for graciously offering his voice for the French voiceover!

Head over to nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-why-gratitude-is-good-for-you-seriouslyGratitude may sound like a woo-woo concept, but science shows it might be a key to happiness.

Believe it or not, there's a decent amount of research that shows gratitude is good for you—and your brain!

The fascinating psychology behind why were so divided right now. Neuro Transmissions 2020-11-01 | Watch this video without ads and all of our exclusive content here: nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-the-fascinating-psychology-behind-why-were-so-divided-right-nowIt's ironic. One of the few things most of us can agree on right now is that we are highly polarized. As the U.S. presidential election reaches its conclusion, tensions are running high between political opponents. Democrats view Donald Trump as an unstable threat to the country. Many Republicans are convinced that a Biden administration would be just as bad...or worse. But the election is just the tip of the iceberg. It feels as though there is a rift that divides the American people on a racial, social, and economic level. This degree of partisanship has resulted in many of us falling into social bubbles (or silos) of people who agree with us and confirm our held beliefs. But how does that happen in the first place? Well, we're going to need a little education in group dynamics.Hey, go VOTE!

Are learning styles real? Neuro Transmissions 2020-08-30 | Watch this video without ads and all of our exclusive content here: nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-are-learning-styles-realYou may be familiar with the four learning styles: visual, aural, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. It's hard to miss this popular concept that is supposed to give you a leg up in learning. But are learning styles legit? Or are they just a myth? With the coronavirus pandemic seriously changing the face of learning, a lot of people are wondering: how can kids learn best during COVID-19? Unsurprisingly, learning styles have been a part of that conversation. For example, how are teachers supposed to engage each student's particular learning style through a computer screen? There's a lot of questions here, but don't fret. We've got answers.

The Black Stain That Changed Neuroscience Neuro Transmissions 2020-08-02 | Watch this video without ads and all of our exclusive content here: nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-the-black-stain-that-changed-neuroscienceThere’s a black stain on the history of neuroscience. But don’t worry, that’s actually a good thing! Thanks to Camillo Golgi’s mysterious “black stain” and Santiago Ramon y Cajal’s artistic talents, starting in the early 1900s, we started to get a much better handle on what neurons actually looked like. Although the scientific rivalry between Golgi and Cajal was fierce, their intertwined paths and undying efforts helped us uncover so many mysteries about the brain. _Sources_“The Embryo Project Encyclopedia.” The Neuron Doctrine (1860-1895) | The Embryo Project Encyclopedia, embryo.asu.edu/pages/neuron-doctrine-1860-1895#:~:text=The neuron doctrine is a,that compose the nervous system.&text=Advocates of the neuron doctrine,composed of discrete cellular units.Cajal Santiago Ramón y, et al.

We all feel it at one point or another. But what do you do when you get REAL angry? For many of us, we end up expressing that anger by yelling, slamming a door, or even hitting something...or someone. But what if there was a place you could go when you felt angry and...not feel bad about it? Rage rooms have become more and more popular over the years and they've put themselves forward as a therapeutic alternative for stress relief. But how healthy is that?

How movie music manipulates your emotions Neuro Transmissions 2019-07-26 | Watch this video without ads and all of our exclusive content here: nebula.tv/videos/neuro-transmissions-how-movie-music-manipulates-your-emotionsHave you ever watched a movie with the sound muted? It doesn’t really seem as impactful, even though the acting on screen is the same. It turns out that audio, and specifically music, plays a hugely important role in creating film as we know it today. But did you know that filmmakers are manipulating your emotions with movie music? Soundtracks are specially designed to impart emotional depth and make emotions easier to understand. And it turns out there’s some simple psychological effects and phenomena to explain it all.Sources:Newman, E. J., & Schwarz, N. (2018).

Why nature is good for your mental health Neuro Transmissions 2019-05-05 | Back in the day, doctors would send patients with anxiety and depression into the mountains because the fresh air would do them good. Though they did not have the research to back it up, they knew that nature was good for our mental health. Today, there is good evidence for these claims and clinicians have developed different types of “nature therapy”, also known as ecotherapy, which harness the healing power of nature. Henry David Thoreau once said “We need the tonic of wildness...We can never have enough of nature.” And indeed, I have found that to be true. The more time I spend out in the wilderness, the more I want. Perhaps after watching this video, you'll feel the same way.Sources:apa.org/monitor/apr01/greengoodwired.com/2010/08/the-psychology-of-naturefrontiersin.org/research-topics/1948/nature-and-environment-the-psychology-of-its-benefits-and-its-protectionpositivepsychologyprogram.com/positive-effects-of-naturepsychologytoday.com/us/blog/psy-curious/201603/the-restorative-effect-natureen.wikiversity.org/wiki/Psychology_of_natural_sceneshttp://time.com/4881665/green-spaces-nature-happinessncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19121124ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5451986bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2458-10-456tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17439760.2014.994224?journalCode=rpos20https://digitalcommons.wou.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1039&context=fac_pubsresearchgate.net/publication/306526247_A_Comparative_Study_of_Human_Well-Being_Indicators_Across_Three_Puget_Sound_Regionshttp://www.acarindex.com/dosyalar/makale/acarindex-1431807096.PDFpsycnet.apa.org/record/2013-24184-003eprints.lse.ac.uk/49376/1/Mourato_Happiness_greater_natural_2013.pdfselfdeterminationtheory.org/SDT/documents/2010_RyanWeinstenEtAl_JEVP.pdfjournals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/105382591003300203https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1014&context=pes_synthesisncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27493670ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5153451Patreon: patreon.com/neurotransmissionsTwitter: twitter.com/neuroyoutubeFacebook: facebook.com/neurotransmissionsInstagram: instagram.com/neurotransmissionsReddit: reddit.com/u/neuroyoutubeWebsite: http://www.neurotransmissions.scienceSnapchat: neuroyoutubeThis episode is supported by our wonderful Patreon Producers:Ryan M.
