Cotard Syndrome is Walking Corpse Syndrome - The Ways Your Brain Can Break ARTexplains Science and History 2023-04-14 | A person who believes themselves to be dead is experiencing a condition known as Cotard Syndrome, or Walking Corpse Syndrome, or a Delusion of Negation if you prefer. Of course, believing that you are dead is not the only possible manifestation of this disorder, and the enclosed case studies will demonstrate just that. You may be surprised to learn that most people recover from Cotard Syndrome, and that we think it happens--at least in some people--because of changes in emotional areas of the brain.Thanks to patrons:RødalWhitney ToftnesspafijohnSpeck of DustWebsite: alexandertoftness.comMy book: https://a.co/g70uHDj Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/ARTexplainsTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/ARTexplainsFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/ARTexplainsIntro music is courtesy of Colin Mansfield, titled "My Brain Hurts" from the eponymous album "Fine Art" (1978) -- colinmansfield.bandcamp.comScript and References for this episode: docs.google.com/document/d/1NgAa45akOvGUIr3fEEf5O3epMZqCjANci5cO82pQdIw/edit?usp=sharing

Imagination Blindness - Aphantasia. The Ways Your Brain Can Break ARTexplains Science and History 2020-02-29 | Can you visualize things in your imagination? People who can't have aphantasia. People on the Internet have been obsessed with the topic since the condition was named in 2015, but there has been research into mental imagery going back as far as the 1880s. There's also more than one kind of aphantasia, with people who could never use mental imagery (congenital aphantasics) compared with people who once had the ability but then lost it because of brain damage (acquired aphantasics).Thanks to patrons: Joey Peasley Whitney Toftness Nick Weltha Special thanks to Crystal Jewell for finding the Huxley passage!Also special thanks to Sabrina the cat for the unexpected cameo.

The Overview Effect | Can We Simulate the Overview Effect on Earth? ARTexplains Science and History 2019-06-24 | The overview effect is a self-transcendent experience that can change the way that a person thinks about life and their place in the universe permanently. If this is such a positive feeling, shouldn't we all try to experience the overview effect? Unfortunately, it is usually described as a consequence of going into outer space and looking down at the planet Earth from above. Because the cost of sending all people into orbit would be prohibitive, is there an easier way to experience it? Can we simulate the overview effect in a laboratory?Thanks to patrons:Joey PeasleyWhitney ToftnessMr. Freddo RentonWebsite:alexandertoftness.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/ARTexplainsTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/ARTexplainsFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/ARTexplainsShop: (ARTexplains Fridge Magnets Available Here):alexandertoftness.com/shop/sReferences for this episode:docs.google.com/document/d/10hEVS2miAHM95kie-wfrd6BV8op7aeNN0UdSW5IsIGc/edit?usp=sharingCreative Commons:Space Shuttle Launch From Multiple Views HDby step insideyoutube.com/watch?v=KsJYjyj7xHYShuttle Earth Views, 1994, Part 1by NASA STI Programyoutube.com/watch?v=ceKZ9lV5-PY Earth Departure Movieby NASAhttp://messenger.jhuapl.edu/Explore/Videos.htmlAdditional Earth images from NASA

Akinetopsia APA 2-minute PsycShort Entry ARTexplains Science and History 2019-02-24 | Transcript:It is possible to break the part of your brain that perceives motion. Allow me to explain!Akinetopsia gets its name from “a” meaning without, and kinetic, referring to motion. When you have akinetopsia, you are motion blind, meaning that you can still see, but you don’t see things move.This is possible because the movement you see around you is an illusion created by your brain. Movement is created in your brain based only on what your eyes pick up, which are small pieces of two-dimensional light patterns—it is your brain’s job to stitch them together into a moving picture. This is similar to how a movie is made up of individual still frames. Movement only appears because of the changes that happen in between images.The most classic akinetopsia case was published in 1983, and it tells of a woman who developed akinetopsia after brain damage to both hemispheres of her brain. When she tried to pour herself a drink, she would often overfill the cup because she couldn’t see the level of the liquid rising. She complained of difficulties in crossing the street, because she could not tell where the cars were at any given moment. She could successfully describe the color, model, and even the license plate number of each car, but instead of moving smoothly across her vision, they seemed to jump from place to place (Zihl, Von Cramon, & Mai, 1983; referenced on-screen).Akinetopsia seems to occur because of damage or disruptions to a part of the brain’s visual cortex called V5, located in the occipital lobe (Zeki, 1991). Research has shown that using a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, on this V5 region produces temporary motion blindness, so this area is probably responsible in medical cases as well (Beckers & Hömburg, 1992; referenced on-screen).------Hey ARTizens, I was encouraged to submit an entry to the American Psychological Association's PsycShort competition. Essentially, you need to make a video 2 minutes or less in length, and use empirical research for the video.

Word Blindness - Pure Alexia. The Ways Your Brain Can Break ARTexplains Science and History 2018-08-07 | Alexia refers to a disorder in which a person loses the ability to read. It can co-exist with another disorder, called agraphia, which is when a person loses the ability to write. However, what is truly fascinating about alexia is that it can occur on its own while leaving writing intact. In these cases it is called pure alexia.

Motion Blindness - Akinetopsia. The Ways Your Brain Can Break ARTexplains Science and History 2018-07-27 | Akinetopsia is an extremely rare disorder in which a person loses the ability to perceive movement. This loss of movement perception occurs in all three dimensions: up-down, left-right, and back-forth. Instead of objects looking like they are smoothly moving from one position to another, objects are usually perceived as jumping from place to place. Quite often, objects will show up multiple times in the vision of a person with akinetopsia, because the brain thinks that there are multiple objects instead of one moving object.Thanks to patrons:LibgovWhitney ToftnessWebsite:alexandertoftness.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/ARTexplainsTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/ARTexplainsFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/ARTexplainsShop: (ARTexplains Fridge Magnets Available Here):alexandertoftness.com/shopReferences for this episode:docs.google.com/document/d/1Cn6XqgkTcddfxV7RA0ysek1Zyg9vruTVn5WkxuqEmYU/edit?usp=sharingCreative Commons CreditsRugby passing and receiving in slow motionby Eva ChaoPublished on Jan 7, 2018Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)youtube.com/watch?v=VZkzWs4wBDwWorking flour windmill in Hollandby edmondhollandvideoPublished on Dec 20, 2011Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)youtube.com/watch?v=7_xdmzvCSw8Creepy Watson 2- The Return Trailerfrom MTSGamesLive, originally created by Focus Home Interactive and Frogwares StudioPublished on Apr 1, 2013Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)youtube.com/watch?v=VMjydUpr6FQ Rotating_globe.gifBy AzaToth, Own work.CC BY-SA 3.0, commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=582153The Gold Rush - 1925 (Public Domain)[This is the Charlie Chaplin film shown]Stop Motion Claymation Morphing HandsBy WillandWillPublished on Mar 6, 2017Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)youtube.com/watch?v=moqR8DPzuXIWestie parade in Taiwan #2 Nov.26,2017By Jack ChienPublished on Nov 26, 2017Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)youtube.com/watch?v=BsGGWweUyf8
Forgetting Colors - Achromatopsia. The Ways Your Brain Can Break ARTexplains Science and History 2018-07-27 | When severe color blindness exists due to damage to the brain’s cerebral cortex, it is called cerebral achromatopsia. What differentiates cerebral achromatopsia from other forms of color blindness is that in a person with cerebral achromatopsia, their eyes may be no different from a typical person’s eyes, and the differences in color perception exist only due to a damaged brain. That is, the wavelengths of light are entering into their eyes as normal, and are transferred as information into the brain, but the brain has forgotten how to turn those wavelengths into perceptions of color.Thanks to patrons:LibgovWhitney ToftnessWebsite:alexandertoftness.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/ARTexplainsTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/ARTexplainsFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/ARTexplainsShop: (ARTexplains Fridge Magnets Available Here):alexandertoftness.com/shopReferences for this episode:docs.google.com/document/d/1Usdhg38jBYLHYoMkq2464GGnzqE4PtdwkeXtuWv8bB4/edit?usp=sharing Creative Commons Credits:Creative Commons:June's multi-colored eyesby Keith Kisselflickr.com/photos/74419347@N00/107382056 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0 Simulation of Different Color Deficiencies, Color Blindnessby Johannes Ahlmannflickr.com/photos/entirelysubjective/6146852926creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0 Human Visual PathwayBy Miquel Perello Nieto - Own work CC BY-SA 4.0 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Human_visual_pathway.svg#/media/File:Human_visual_pathway.svg commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=37868501 EM Spectrumby NASA Blueshiftflickr.com/photos/nasablueshift/9685685433 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0
