How brain creates reality TED talk.

This is a very simple talk about how the brain creates sensory reality.

It is basically all this stuff that has gone wrong for me in WD.

I already knew all of this from degree and reading tons of popular neuroscience over the years but the visceral reality of it in WD is shocking.

The bit where they show the simulation of hallucinations is very like I get when people faces distort and become demonic or when patterns or plants or objects ‘jump’ out at me and frighten my brain. So far for me it that existing things distort and are very heightened and linked to terror rather than frank hallucinations but the the way the dogs in the simulation jump out are very similar.

Thanks for posting this, Ajusta! It is very interesting and adds perspective to what we are going through with mental symptoms...!
