Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience -- and not just any conscious experience, your experience of the world around you and of yourself within it. How does this happen? According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we're all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it "reality." Join Seth for a delightfully disorienting talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

No matter what the explanation for everything we experience is, the fact that there is anything at all to experience is a most humbling and fascinating thing. It would be wise to remember that whether you are an anti-realist philosopher, or a religious zealot, neither of you actually KNOW the truth.

Saw this video a while ago but I just rewatched it, and I have to say this is one of the best videos I've seen on YouTube. His presentation is wonderful and engaging, and what he says is up to date with neuroscience.
Great speaker and great video!

Right off the bat you got me with you because when I had surgery and I got put under, I remember my eyes getting heavy and I fell asleep and right as my eyes closed, they opened back up again. That's how it felt to me. I woke up in the recovery room after surgery and it felt like I had fallen asleep and woke up again immediately like when you're in class and tired and catch yourself drifting. It'd actually even several hours

To be relaxed, present and accepting of what is, in my current surroundings, is quite possibly the best method I've ever found of dissolving my many negative emotions.

"we are definitely a part of Nature not apart from it" nice quote.

As a musician, after spending a lifetime (over 50 years) playing piano, the instrument feels like an extension of my body and as much a tool for self expression as my lungs, larynx, mouth and tongue. Could it be that mastery (of anything) is when the brain assimilates the tools of expression as part of the human body, and that that is what is meant when a samurai says, âI and the sword are one.â đ¤

A masterpiece of speech, especially his final, closing words. Thank you.

"We predicted ourselves to reality"
What a statement because of these i can understand how other creatures perceive the same reality In different ways because they predicted themselves as they are right now.

the best thing he did was to make the point that we aren't above all other nature, we are a part of it. we all need to be acting like it. The human animal is the only creature who does things out of selfishness. The rest do things to survive and out of need. Lions eat and you won't see them go trying to kill more...nope, they are satisfied. There is no drive to hunt. this was a great ted talk.

The Buddha once said âwe are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts, and with our thoughts we create the worldâ.
The 1st time I ever read that quote, I instantly understood it was meant in the literal sense.

Thank you Dark.

Anil Seth is brilliant at so many levels. He is a brilliant scientist but what most impresses me is his ability to take very complex ideas and make them understandable to the masses and to do it in a very entertaining way. Gifted speaker.
