Download To Your Brain? -- Mind Blow

[@TheCheaterofall]

4:23 Yeah right, "scissor"

[@milanmottl8983]

I was like " what the... ohhh scissor" Maybe a hidden message for us? :D

[@AndrewMeyer]

Yeah, that one made me do a double-take...

[@jacoballenmitchell]

thought the same thing HAHAHA

[@Horiks]

Step 1: take that special fabric and make american flags with it Step 2: sell it to americans Step 3: Infinite energy

[@yannzul]

Step 0: make condoms out of it

[@JohnnyYenn]

Horiks USA!! USA!! USA!!

[@gabejuhasz3743]

step 1: make (enter country name) flag step 2: sell to (that country) step 3: gain an amount of energy depending on the countries patriotism.

[@saltyman7888]

Take that canada, venezuela, saudi arabia, russia, norway, and nigeria!

[@brandinthompson4405]

Literally Power to the People.

[@SquareSquidStudios]

The worst part of these videos is that none of it will be available for a while.

[@VoodooGMusic]

That's why they put these old tech news at the end of each videos. Yes it will take a little while, but we all are young enough to see their change on society. Give it 20 years and all this will be common. that is, if nothing horrible happens inbetween.

[@unnoticeable8452]

TootTootMcbumbersnazzle you watch Vsauce?

[@Q974]

Square Squid Studios Navdy is available this week ☺️

[@thavrisco1632]

Square Squid Studios Some for a LONG while

[@Tekrothebountyhunter]

That and how the old PSA's he shows at the end are getting longer and longer.

[@ANT-jm4qx]

Downloading knowledge? Wikipedia going to have a competitor.

[@Snout007]

maybe they will download knowledge from wikipedia :)

[@hunterst.arnold6646]

Two words: The Intersect

[@ANT-jm4qx]

I'll never have to revise for tests again! :D

[@Irdesce]

Or just no school, one day you go there and you put on a head set then you have all the knowledge. All of it...

[@BattousaiHBr]

unless the biggest downloading knowledge library is also from wikipedia.

[@KishoreShenoy1994]

I suffer from anterograde amnesia to the extent that I struggle to store new memories without repetition. So this mind blow is hope for me

[@yannzul]

Wow, I didn't know that kind of amnesia existed. I hope they come up with something to help you soon !

[@gatorbait9385]

Kishore Shenoy Isn't this commonly called short term memory loss?

[@JohnnyYenn]

Gator Bait They can't remember..

[@KishoreShenoy1994]

When I was in hospital, I had surgery which caused total anterograde amnesia which meant I could make any new memories at all. But my ability slow recovered but not fully. I still have difficulty making memories and always forget peoples names, song lyrics or even what food I ordered at the restaurant but if I repeat the information numerous times, I can remember it.

[@KishoreShenoy1994]

Arsalan Khan If the scene happened only minutes ago, I can remember. But a week after watching, some details would be a bit fuzzy. However, if I watch the film again, it would seem familiar.

[@WillWatches]

"Hi here in my garage just downloading some KNAWLEDGE"

[@NJA2k8]

So we've found an effective way to convert sea water into fresh water? Rejoice, Californians

[@VoodooGMusic]

I guess then Mad Max will not become a reality.

[@anashussein6068]

NJA2k8 Australia has been desalinating water ever since the 2008 drought. although engineering, designing and constructing the plant big enough to sustain life, is a bloody expensive process.

[@SupraKooper]

It's always been effective...... It's simply evaporating the water and allowing the H2O molecules drip. It's literally the same concept, just on a larger scale. We've always been able to do that. We've just been lazy as a society to actually go about doing it.

[@gatorbait9385]

It's been around a while. Here in Florida an Island my family has a beach house on has a desalination plant that provides for 3 or 4 islands in the cluster. It's been there since 2009

[@JuancharroVlogs]

NJA2k8 It's always veen possible, it's just that now its possible with solar power.

[@johnbelushi9097]

I've been watching Mind Blow since #20 or so and it never gets old. Thanks for all the hours of entertainment Kevin.

[@Porglit]

Holding a flag that creates electricity out a moving car window increases the drag of the car, consuming more energy than the flag will ever produce. Oops.

[@SirCutRy]

'Wireless' energy for devices that consume little power.

[@hydraglyphics]

I always wondered about being able to download knowledge. Assuming it would be accessible, practical, relatively simple, and affordable, anyone could just be anything they wanted. If I wanted to be a doctor, I could just download a shit-ton of necessary and relevant knowledge, and just like that I'm qualified to be a doctor. Downloading knowledge would make education obsolete.

[@hadissaeed1546]

exactly what i think 😞

[@Nate3million]

It really makes you realise how powerful the human race could become when tech reaches that point.

[@yannzul]

+Cuzeg Spiked I guess if you could download, you could also delete...

[@hydraglyphics]

***** Now that would be cool.

[@fighttothedead]

+Yanzuru The human brain doesn't really work like that. Unless you overwrite every part of your brain that has a wrong memory pattern with completely new ones and/or get surgery to manualy cut the wrong connection you may never truely forget and stop believing even the dumbest stuff. Unless your brain itself comes to an unbiased understanding that certain memories are wrong you can't just easily edit memories you have.

[@ionbattery]

[@HungryGuyStories]

Yes! Please bring back LUT and BiDiPi!!!!

[@aaronleonard641]

Considering these are so close to production, this is (for me) the most mind blowing mind blow! 😊

[@erikchackooo]

I can't be the only one who loves those little videos at the end that look at the past's depiction of the future.

[@natehancock9663]

Mind Blow is my absolute favorite series on youtube!!!!

[@74oshua]

I love those clips from the past about the future. Keep up the good work.

[@RobertoLion]

I like how there're no switching screens between subjects of the video and no waste of time.

[@ludwigharisuo6261]

The Robotic Touch can make it possible for people that have lost arms or legs to get them back, AND feel touch with them!

[@ludwigharisuo6261]

Ben I know that's kinda obvious, but it's still extremely cool!

[@billypersistent6127]

True, but the implications of brain implants are extremely creepy to me.

[@ludwigharisuo6261]

[@Slattery777]

idk how many times I've considered getting the curiosity box but that sales pitch was so hypnotizing right as he said "now" I took out my cc

[@yammmit]

Here in my garage, just downloaded this brand new knowledge here.

[@wowguy9393]

KSI-Lamborgini

[@ludwigharisuo6261]

All of these new sci-fi technologys are super cool! The Mind Blow series is my favorite Vsauce series because millions of people can get more information about new cool tech that you never knew existed!

[@CarstenSvendsen]

WTF, they just dumped oil into the rivers?

[@doublebubleguy12]

Gasoline....

[@tylerscudder9358]

SpydreX Official still a huge waste and still a pollutant

[@doublebubleguy12]

Tyler Scudder Yeah but they didn't know it had any use so you can't really blame them. Also pollution wasn't well known about.

[@gatorbait9385]

gasoline being dumped isn't as bad as the oil. Gasoline evaporates under 100F.

[@kautzklara]

Uh, we do that every day. On average 1.2 million gallons of oil is spilled every year by pipelines.

[@kitcyat]

is anyone else really pissed of they weren't born much later into the future?

[@mfwhom5214]

It's MIND BLOWing how fast the bee population is dying.

[@apt4j]

I love mind blow!! Really makes you think about human progression and human intelligence

[@KuraSourTakanHour]

I had goosebumps when he talked about the 'memory prosthesis' as it reminded me of the technology in one of the episodes of Black Mirror, which is related but quite different: People had this "Grain"; a pea-sized memory implant outside their skull (from what I could tell), connected to their visual and audio-sensory input, that could store decades worth of memories simultaneously as you experienced them. You could play every single second of those stored memories at your leisure via wireless connection to playback devices.

[@UberMegustador]

man..i remember seeing the first drone prototype on this show...and look at the drone industry now! I can't wait to see most of those breakthroughs in the near future!

[@zeromailss]

literally mind blown every time I love this so much

[@manfredvoncoolstuff6071]

Thank you guys for making these, I love seeing what technology and stuff people are making :D

[@ptt619]

If this is the present, than the future is going to be fucking INSANE

[@fried_knot1802]

exchanging memories sounds like the giver

[@californiacajun4535]

kevin you used to be about video games but now michael stevens has turned you into a kind folk talking about future technology and crazy science. how does it feel to have so studied and experienced so much because another human being? it's crazy the kind of influences that we get from certain people but it's great.

[@emashno5]

Sniff sniff ........ i missed you guys ......... man I'm so happy !!!!!! VSAUCE FOR EVER!

Every ep of mind blown restores my faith in humanity

[@DanielFenandes]

it is becoming clear to notice the exponential advancement of technology, as each episode gets more mindblowing...

[@Gastoly]

I GET GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME I WATCH MIND BLOW!

[@per41495]

Hey Kevin, I had idea; why not host a competition about writing your script for your 4 million subsribers video, they could also be featured in that video! Cheers

[@aflhabalafhabab]

I like this idea.

[@BattousaiHBr]

I idea this like.

[@wowguy9393]

This idea i like

[@pogoplays9538]

It's amazing to see nature continuing to be a template for human innovation. Truly inspiring.

[@sand8375]

I feel the knowledge flowing through my veins, I am growing strONGER.

[@oafkad]

For anyone on the fence. The stuff in the curiosity box is pretty fun if you are a bit of a dork. I'm looking forward to the rest of them.

[@xAlcoholicGamer]

The inductive charging drone 3:18, is my Senior Design project. It works but is incredibly inefficient because of High impedance related parasitic effects and exponentially diminishing power transfer related to the distance from each coil(s). The pro's don't outweigh the cons. It's better to just have the drone land on a charged metal plate.

[@stefan3679]

4:24 , Who else didn't see a car ??? 😂😂😂

[@RubberFacee]

I will be able to upload myself into a computer. Thanks science.

[@yannzul]

I think you would just make a copy of you. Like a numeric twin. Unless they develop something to transfer the information from you brain, not copy it, but I don't see how.

[@doggosuki]

i think you only exist for an infinitely small time period and then a copy of you replaces you over and over and over and over

[@Tinseltopia]

It would act like you and it would think it was you... but it wouldn't be you

[@doggosuki]

Tinseltopia no i mean in your body right now, you are being replaced by a near exact copy of you that technically isnt you because your brain is slightly altered

[@GLaDTheresCake]

Why wouldn't it be you though? Why wouldn't it just be a second you? If it wholly believes it is, and it has all the memories and characteristics of you why would it be any different? Only way you can explain away that it isn't you is if you assume that everyone has something besides their brains that make them up, and that's religion you're talking about there, not opening that box here.

[@TheOmegaBrain]

More scientific wonders from a wonderful channel :D

Damn you whyatt Cynac! I wanted to rewind a little.. it's in ad form! I'm already stoned enough keeping track of one show.

[@HowToDealWithLinux]

Best episode ever. Where you see science fiction I see opportunity :D

[@ClimaxcraftBro]

What's Ming blowing is that This series is titled "Mind Blow" and not mind blown, just noticed it now

[@Nintenrock]

My mind is blown!

[@misaalanshori]

King Meninist watch mind blow episode 100 lol

[@ChUCkNORAiZE]

That's because you see things as they are shown to you, not as what they could do.

Remember kids: always do the scroll-test before wiping your screen, it could be a trap!

[@TheBastered]

Gripper or gripping space, I think its wise to get a grappling hook shot for the astronaughts because just in case they were push away from the space station, the grappling hook can be insure security for "rope for hope" to get asteronaught to get back the station just in case if their cable were cut off. More likely its fair enough for person safty is more important then the mission in space.

[@GSgiraffes]

After watching mind blow videos, I'm always scared robots are about to take over

[@behindview99]

that what they trying to do because we human getting lazier and rely on robot so beware of robots apocalypse D;

Now they can even be sweaty tryhards, oh god!

[@johncollins8511]

These videos really restore my faith in humanity.

[@jam0016]

Those scissors at the end really made me think.

[@EmilMacko]

But wouldn't sharing memories be almost impossible? I'm talking about making sense of the data and converting it to fit with another person's brain-pattern-thing, unless all of our brains are storing memories in the exact same "format".

[@kedrednael]

I don't know if you wanted an answer as long as this, but I studied psychobiology, so this reply happened. You are right sharing memories will be almost impossible, the data would need to be converted to be interpreted by any other brain. All detailed things you can sense/ imagine/ recall require activation of very specific neural pathways/connections, which are different for every person. long term memories are stored all over inside the neocortex. While younger long term memories are stored in the hippocampus, those also need the neocortex to be interpreted by yourself again. So even if you were able to copy a brain activation pattern from someone's hippocampus to a receivers hippocampus (which would seem the easiest if wou want to directly share memories, though still unimaginably difficult), the receivers hippocampus will have little bit different connections from their hippocampus to other brain regions then the sender's has, so the memory will not be interpreted as the same (it might not even be experienced as any memory at all). I think it is impossible to download specific memories directly into the brain, except if you have enough computing power to map someones brain Completely (and with information about what the person is seeing/ hearing/ thinking about), so you know which neurons/synapses code for what, you can target neurons/ synapses that are functionally most similar to the ones you need to manipulate to generate the memory. I think this would require an insanely thight connection to a computer (maybe with an artificial net woven all through your brain (through the blood vessels perhaps), or a swarm of nanobots). But at that point, it will probably also be possible to run that mapped brain in a simulation, so you would have real artificial intelligence (and as a bonus you have created the matrix). Tranfer of visualizations and verbalized thoughts could be easier.

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

Downloading knowledge is fundamentally nearly impossible. Simply because of how information is stored. There aren't dedicated 'memory storage banks' in the brain. Knowledge is encoded in varying activation thresholds in neurons, and which neurons are even connected and how many there are varies significantly between people. If you have never encountered an apple and a knife in similar contexts, a vastly different set of changes would need to occur in your brain compared to someone who has used knives to peel apples and cut pieces off of them if you were both trying to download the knowledge of how to efficiently core and slice an apple. The idea of an "outboard brain" though is a fascinating one. Just put together a device which contains "synthetic neurons" and connect it to the brain. It would very likely 'expand into' that increased capacity, especially if done at a young age, no later than puberty. That's one of the major hurdles with brain stuff. In order for it to be most effective, you have to do it to people too young to give adequate consent. The decrease in neuroplasticity and establishment of structures which would need to be re-structured to deal with the new situation causes real problems for older brains. We already see this in cochlear implants. Give a deaf child a cochlear implant before age 2, and they will develop hearing as good as any non-deaf person. Every year you wait, the effectiveness decreases. If you wait until age 18, the person will never be capable of hearing normally, though they should eventually be able to make out a good deal in easy circumstances. I am really not sure how they went through the process of testing such a thing given the hairy ethical issues that had to have been involved. Perhaps they tested on adults, established that it was better than nothing and had low risk, and were able to proceed from there... but what happens when we're dealing with something that adults can't get ANY benefit from? Like if we added an additional sense organ like a camera which could see infrared light. Integration of the two eyes we have MUST occur before about 3 weeks of age, or binocular vision will never happen. After that point, the brain goes a different path and simply can't get back to the place where it could correlate and combine the two images, sense depth, etc. Integration of an additional optical source of information, like infrared light, would very likely also need to be introduced before 3 weeks of age in order for the brain to be able to develop to handle it. This is an issue we're eventually going to have to deal with somehow...

[@gigglysamentz2021]

They tried one of those things for planes. They gave up when in a try-out in a simulator, the pilot didn't realise he was landing onto another plane. Just because you look in the direction of something doesn't mean you pay attention to it. Your attention is limited.

What I mean is that for example, you wouldn't check Fb on your phone while driving, but now people with this gadget will think it's okay because they're still looking at the road, not realizing how much their attention is diverted from hazards.
