I think according to how much we understand our brains these days you're kind of a billion core lmao

I would say dual core since the individual parts of the brain are like individual parts of a CPU. A CPU is actually very complex and has dedicated areas that do specific thing like our brain and all those parts come together to form one complete core.

Duel Core, but with Hyper threading between the cores maybe?

core2duo

Actually no and CGP is wrong about this (along with no studies or data). Left/right brain was disproven a while ago as we found out these “hemisphere” functions are actually scattered across the brain and in concert with different areas. So language isn’t a left brain thing and the right isn’t like creative, etc. He’s operating on faulty data .

Well most of the brain is unknown and many aren't identical mental conditions and all that so it could be true but in most probability it isn't the brains or people in the studies might have only acted that way due to their brains being damaged

@@Trust268 Recent data disproves the “two people” idea.

@@Trust268 The point of the study was damaged brains. Dont use this as an excuse to make the brain a mystery.

@@Darkloid21 I think you're speaking of the faulty notion that the left and right hemispheres of the brain had isolated characteristics such as the left hemisphere being more logical and the right side being more creative. That idea was more or less disproven as electrical patterns observed under live MRI scans showed equal activity in both hemispheres regardless of whether a person recalled truthful data or created fabrications. At least that was one of the studies I was familiar with. However that isn't to say that, different parts of the brain don't actually have different functions and that one hemisphere couldn't hold a function the other couldn't. The ability to speak is usually reserved to the hemisphere that contains both Wernicke's Area and Broca's Area which for most people is located on the left hemisphere, meaning the right side of the body reserves the ability of speech. In corpus callosum surgery where the hemispheres are separated, the left side of the body is observed to be mute. Since it can no longer instantly communicate with the other hemisphere, it will often "disagree" with its other side. I don't know if I would go as far as to say they are separate entities after separation as Grey suggests, but Left/Right brain specialization, at least in this context, is a valid and recognized phenomenon. Grey is not promoting pseudoscience here, there are a number of interesting case studies with videos you can look up on youtube if you have the time and I'd encourage you to take a looksie. :)

Plausible hypothesis but don't phrase your hypotheses as facts.

@@raphael_santiago i actually spoke to my friend about that few times by the 7 momths and he agrees with me. The reason this is happening is because both halves need to coordinate your decisionmaking. Splitting this ability in half makes you do more than one decision. If the theory of two personalities was real there would be more signs than were actually explained. There is a lot in this video going unspoken. The theory i say is widely accepted as the reason as there is no sign of a second personality inside other than different decisions. They may seem odd to the person who experiences it because they conciousness is able to grasp only one idea at a time. Its much like thinming. Try to think about two things at the same time. Impossible isnt it? Splitting your brain allows you for that but you dont really have the ability to use both halves separately due to the way the whole life you relied on it being whole. And by this unable to split your attention to both. Its like when you do a random thing and dont even understand why you did that. It happems often. Ever took spoon by mistake instead of a fork? Said something you did not want to? Its the same thing. Both halves having a idea but only one going throught. As complicated as our brain is there is not even a exact source of our conciousness or where it is set in the brain but trust me. If you say that there is two of you to anyone who works with this subject he will laugh. Brain is a complicated tool that works coordinated. Imagine your brain as a server. All data going through it both ways to coordinate it. If you severe conection between its parts the parts will not stop working but no longer will be able to know what the other part wants to do and will do their own thing. There is a lot of thing you could compare it to and every single one makes a clesrer picthre that this anomaly is nothing special. Its even a bad thing as it limits your capabilities as you sre limited to two halves not one whole of your complete processing power. While interesting i feel sorry for anyone who needs to deal with things like that.

We kinda do have Quad Core brains already. He talked about the two hemispheres, because we have the best data on that, because for some reason, we used to think it was a good idea to cut them off of each other, and nature, unfortunately, had created no natural defenses to a medically licensed lunatic trying to cut your brain in half. But our front and back halves are equally pretty disparate organs. There's no neat place to make the cut, but it's pretty clear from many brain-scans. And, even weirder, there's research that women's front left and right brains, and their back left and right brains actually talk a lot more across that middle divider, but they don't talk front to back as much. Meanwhile, men's front and back right, and their front and back left brains talk each other up all the time, but their four brains stay on their side of the tracks so to speak. Men and women have quad-cores that are wired up differently!

It's likely that the right brain is much like neglected children who never learned to people, it's spent it's years of plasticity doing work left brain can't do then handing it off through the connective tissue. Unless you split the brain in someone very young then intentionally developed both half's sense of self, which would be highly unethical don't do that, your average right brain is no longer capable of doing anything else but recognizing requests and doing rote tasks. Which is kind of horrible when you think about it.

Yeah The fact that this is the only place i have ever heard about this seemingly paradigm phenomenon coupled with the fact that my monke brain doesn’t want to cooperate with this idea is enough for me to trauma whipe this from my memory thankyouverymuch

I think CGP Grey sensationalizes this with how it's portrayed. I think we all already agree that consciousness is a collection of smaller things which make up a whole. If we follow this through, you can just then say that the different hemispheres of the brain are another subdivision of the whole, but not their own thing. Furthermore, it's easy to accidentally talk in concretes about something like this, rather than gradients. In reality, it's probably more accurate as well, to look at things of this nature as being a fuzzy-sort of partly the same, partly separate, rather than being discretely disconnected units.
