Attention, distraction and the war in our brain: Jean-Philippe Lachaux at TEDxEMLYON

[@mauricecalabrese783]

Anyone else have a hard time paying attention while watching this?

[@grayfox2497]

CC helps. Slowing the speed down is also an option. Prior familiarity with many of his points is also probably a help, at least in my/our case. I took a break at 13:22 to see how others reacted which also corresponds to points he makes in his talk. Going to finish it now. ... (I'm back ) Reaction: important talk; take it very seriously.

[@manishahuja6844]

this is the hardest thing i have done in my life; its hard to listen here

[@meghna.s42]

Excellent talk, not sure what some folks are complaining about in terms of accent, he spoke perfectly well. The research was great too, he made so much science accessible and clear to lay people like us. Thanks for the talk!!

[@hasnaindev]

I mean not everyone is an English speaker. I personally find the accent really annoying, the mic quality is quite bad as well.

"It's not really clear who masters our attention; ourselves or our machines" Sobering thought for sure

[@divanshugarg1144]

Bro I want to answer your question only because I know it, Actually attention is our own self means, we are attention. Attention is soul. Means our Self or Spirit.More precisely the outward expression of soul is attention. I hope you get the answer.

I think it's a brilliant lecture. Yes, it's hard to listen but if you do, there's a lot of great stuff to learn. Now I know that probably computer games are the reason why I tend to lose attention so often,

[@pietro13]

The takeaway message I concluded... which the speaker did not include in his presentation.. is this: 1. Be aware of how your attention wanders from one theme to the other 2. Question what is most relevant and important for you to do 3. Try to focus on that task thru to its completion while blocking out all other attention-stealers

[@osirusj275]

They don't address adhd ppl.... I think sometimes adhd are aware of being distracted but they csnt help but shif tto distraction due to low inhibition and compulsive bhvr... He should talk about solutions other thna jst being aware

[@akshaybokde6588]

I can't believe that i took attention to the video of 17 min and i thought that just 5 min are passed. UNBELIEVABLE

[@vedreme]

It surely is hard to listen here, but this really seems to be one of the best content for explaining how attention works!

[@AluminumBird]

For me it's the audio quality that hurts intelligibility so badly. The presenter is fine - his English is perfect.

[@TheMrSpam]

lesson nr 3 was mind blowing. I now understand procastrination and how i must not seek pleasure outwardly, but create from within, so i cannot become distracted by the basic functionality of our scumbag brain.

[@polyglotomathotheophilos1941]

Plot twist! This lecture was intentionally made very hard to listen to in order to train your attention!

[@YouGotOptions2]

Only for Americans who are quite literally the most distracted population of people on earth.

[@diegushio91]

distraction (absorbed attention) takes you to an "ego existence" where you trully believe you are the character that reacts in this fixated way to your environment. Travels or multiple envoirments can show you, that you are a non fixated existence, and may show you your true flavours .

[@polyglotomathotheophilos1941]

You need Jesus.

[@diegushio91]

You Need love 🙌🏼🌈

[@polyglotomathotheophilos1941]

[@ajcox594]

@@diegushio91 God is love. And as King Amrait but Oraito Birong quotes from scripture, "There is no love apart from the Lord Jesus Christ." There is no other name under heaven given unto men whereby we must be saved. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own soul?

[@HVNNXBEE]

Traveling really does help you find yourself as a person. You learn so much about who you are outside of everything you’re familiar with. It’s a beautiful experience.

[@cece4226]

I liked this guy! He was engaging and practical, which is what I like! :)

[@Curry3659]

Considering he was doing a presentation on attention, I would hope he could hold your attention

[@nikhilghatnekar]

This is one of the those very fine and helpful Ted talks I have seen, right on point and digging all the deeper stuff on why we do what we do.

[@SamBCK]

Great, I now know a lot more than I did a few minutes ago about how my brain works

[@neilgrace9147]

Amazing fella, really interesting overview. In referance to ADHD makes a lot of sense..

[@user-fs5fc1vv7y]

Couldnt help but think of my grandpa who had dementia. Whenever he had a glass of wine, or food for that matter, he consumed it even tho he had already drunk and eaten alot and probably was full

[@mohdshahnawaz.australia]

Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺😀❤

[@BraveFox100]

This is a very nice talk. We became humans when we developed large frontal lobes. Now when I get districted or do spontaneously meaningless movements, i understand that these are a result of the default systems in my brain. Hopefully, it will help me to focus and let the executive areas function better. I also relate to stress inhibiting frontal lobes. It’s difficult to focus when I’m tired or excited.

[@cashubhamagrawal1439]

who ever is complaining audio ....they should be aware that there is subtitile option in youtube...along with it stick to speed 1.25X

[@zyon9553]

I’m already getting distracted, and my Memory is forgetting stuff people say, my vision is also weird, I’m dizzy, hot, weak, Tired, and I’m getting distracted now, I’m going insane already.. Please someone reply! Someone please tell me what’s wrong with me! I’ve been feeling like this for the past 3 days! I’m also moving a lot. I’m looking around like i dont know where I am. My stomach hurts also. I felt the courage to throw up also for the past 3 days, but I never actually threw up, I also feel like crying so much it’s hard to breath.. I can’t remember eve thing that is happening to me!

[@maxnick7023]

Dude! Can I explain what actually happens to you cause I feel the same kinda thing! I want to more about it! Pls let's help each other 😭

[@JackBresler]

The first few minutes on the message we send the people around us when we text or fumble around with our smartphones is brutally enlightening to all those junkies. Especially, for parents of toddlers....share with the people you love....especially

[@monena88]

Excellent, clear and well-documented... a bit tought to understand at times, but worth the effort...

[@tempjohn3510]

Speed the video up by 1.25 - its clearer

[@kingkoeppy]

Temp John hahaha wow actually it's more interesting to listen

[@robertallen6710]

..genius..

[@Fbiman93]

I think my attention was mostly on the guy who was blocking the monitor.

[@ahmedb2559]

Thank you !

[@tenzintharwangyal666]

it is not in brain, it is in our mind which we called consciousness

[@PaperMario64]

God bless CC although it was incorrect 30% of the time.

[@slippinchillin]

he's done his best for French accent already hahaha

[@v4vidya]

Watch at 0.75x. It will surely help you to understand better.

[@calamar1e320]

This video isn't difficult to pay attention to. His English is clear and what he says MAKES sense. The audio is a little magnified (like when you can hear is breathing and it's really loud) but other than that there wasn't anything wrong with the lecture?

[@robertallen6710]

I found the French accent extremely problematic to follow in spite of the content being very well-presented and useful...

[@FreeJulianAssange23]

Need to write, but house is a mess, start to clean, think I can do this listening to KZbin, spend an hour searching what to listen to, back to cleaning, oh now I’m hungry, oh now this, than that, than it’s dark and house is still a mess, and wrote nothing.

[@kevinm.1565]

Great lecture! Very insightful!

[@iDLaX12]

A very top seminar, Only downfall was the language barrier. More importantly the message was there but also backed by the facts and information provided!!! Thanks

Very valuable info, terrible and difficult to follow speaker. It's worth rewinding every now and then making sure you catch his ideas as you move along his presentation.

[@shaynehawkins713]

the body awares reality. the attention is nothing more then physical body energy focused. with proper awareness you don't need too attempt too remember. you don't forget. the attention being a construct of imagination it by itself cannot aware reality. the body automatically does. they call the attention the objective viewpoint. its not. its very subjective. awareness is not subjective. in Zen they call it the ego. awareness does not try too decipher reality. the attention is slow compared too awareness as awareness does all automatically. the attention is and has always been a false doctrine/teaching.

[@denniskeith1474]

Mr. Markovic, I completely agree with your summary of the speaker. The subject matter was very interesting and important however, the pronunciation that the speaker has in the English language makes it very difficult to understand him and to grasp what he saying. I would wish for the speaker to slow down first so that my brain can comprehend what he just said. I also have to say about this particular video is that the speaker did not seem to be well prepared. He read too much from his notes and many times it seemed like he lost his place, making it even more difficult for me to follow him. I have to give this a thumbs down because the message was not clear I have to do a lot more research on the subject because the speaker did not accomplish his goal.
