Me so far: I’ve completed 140+ videos now, with everything you need to know in that section, it’s been two years of epic numbers of hours on powerpoint and audio sofware. But if you have seen my new bio-psych videos you may have noticed a jump in quality, to do this I’ve dropped down to part time teaching and spent 6 months learning to vector draw, animate and video edit in adobe. I’m hoping to re-do all A-level, then help GCSE students and then even uni level psych in this style. But I have realised if I want to do this multiyear project I’m going to need to reach out and see what happens.
Patreon starts at $2 (£1.50ish) a month and am going to start making some goodies as perks!
If you can’t afford, no worries! I made this for you, just keep revising and good luck 😀 ! – Nick
PS do the quizzes, honestly testing yourself (active learning) is the best thing you can do for revision right now!
Best videos ever! Thank u so much
So is the voice in your head or that gut feeling is really just the right communicating with left
So many questions
great video, loved your eval and the bonus fact !
Mein Fuhrer ! I can walk!!
Reading "Releasing The Lion: Rediscovering The Right Brain HEART" Quite interesting.
hey what date was this video posted? so i can reference it thanks.
So don't we have unity in our conscious awareness?
Could this be used for anxiety?
This is my favorite study I have ever learned
What's the difference between Lateralization and localization????
Strange I usually suffer a fear of social interaction. Once I passed out due to exercise. When I woke up again I found I had no fear of speaking and interacting for a time.
Who are you? You are 2.
That was incredibely helpful! I'm currently studying Biology, Psychology and RS at A- Level and sitting my A- Level exams in a few months. I was contemplating Philosphy but at the moment i'm planning on studying Psychology At Uni of Nottingham or Warwick (still awaiting feedback)! I would love to hear more about your combined Philosophy and psychology degree as that sounds very intriguing! Thank you 🙂
the upload date scares me ngl
Hey where abouts on the mind map would I put this section ?? thanks so much for these videos they really help!!
I smell you are two
Great video on a topic I am very fascinated by, but I do have one little critique: grab some royalty-free music and slap it in the background haha the silence when you’re not talking is a little jarring. But otherwise, love the video man!
As far as I could read about this subject, people with split brains do NOT report any feeling of split self. Their consciousness and mind are perceived as the same subject and unified individuality as before surgery.
Although this study is so interesting, I think it might also be the worst thing you could actually do to a human. I don't know about severe epilepsy and what it does to you, but this should be the very, very last resort. Knowing some people had this done to them, essentially splitting their conciousness, makes me feel very weird.
I wonder if you could have a conversation with the other side of your brain with drawings
I can across one of this videos at 4 in the morning… I didn’t go back to sleep lol
Do i need to know this as part of what subtopic
