The other day I got an invitation to a windowless office building in downtown Manhattan to get a quantitative electroencephalogram, which is designed to measure brain wave patterns as electrical signals. It is being increasingly used to analyze various aspects of brain function, including things like cognitive flexibility, intelligence, and even creativity. Then I’ll be jumping on a call with the neuroscientist Andrew Hill, who has a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA. He analyzed my brain and the results honestly shocked me.

I’m an ex neurology nurse who worked in medical neurology which focuses alot of patients who have brain disorders and especially epilepsy so a telemetry of Ecgs was a huge part of the job as a whole. You do have an amazing talent for leaning languages and he expressed this to you when he was explaining how acute and sensitive your hearing is which also goes in line with you having the “Princess and the pea” symptoms. I feel you brushed this off a little when he was telling you but you don’t seem to take compliments easily I guess ? We have similarities in our brains and that’s my reason for writing to you. I want you to especially take in and pay attention to him telling you about your sleep issues and how your brain is running slow. I am exactly the same but just went with it as it was all I knew throughout my life. I’m hypersensitive to things around me and also have sleep problems. I really pushed myself in nursing as I had a talent in it but like you I was running at half mast. PLEASE take this seriously as I didn’t know this until it was too late. I went about 15 years working and studying - as I moved into critical care nursing that requires alot of in house and additional education and courses whilst working full time and doing 2 weeks night a week. So I started to get sick and they considered MS in the beginning which is how it came about of me getting checked in neurology like this and by that time it was way to late. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go and see a specialist as it can and has with myself lead to a whole host of auto immune diseases and others that I can’t stop or go back. We just manage the symptoms and try to slow down the progression of my disease. I have went from very healthy/active living busy life to now being disabled. So please can you see a specialist and first of all address the sleep disorder and other potential problems. I would hate for this to happen to someone else when you have the beginning of information to work on so good luck ! FYI you absolutely have a tick with your eyes I think it’s stress and concentration triggered lol.

For that you'd likely need an fMRI or, if you wanted the time resolution of an EEG, you could do that with a MEG. I can tell you as a registered EEG technologist that the skull filters out soooo much information. I'm frankly skeptical of scalp-based qEEG as a science because of it. If you want the complete data set, you need some way of getting data directly from the cortex, like depth electrodes, subdural grids, or MEG.

I have noticed a mild stutter for some time, you even displayed it to the doctor while talking about it, but I always chalked it off to nervousness or just inexperience using the language you were practicing at the time.

My best friend's mum was British but lived in Chad for over 10 years, so her French was flawless, she just spoke it with a full british accent. Just that her brain isn't programmed to hear the same sounds that mine is I guess.

I've always wanted to be bilingual and beyond. I want to get it right but sometimes, you're making sounds that are not natural to a native otherwise, so we might not even know how to make that sound with our mouths. For example I took three years of German in high school, I have retained little to none of that information, and I remember some of the sounds were inherently very unnatural to make with my mouth, and took practice to actually make those sounds correctly, you have to use your mouth in a way you've never used it before, which takes some figuring sometimes. Just like how many foreigners who come to learn English may have trouble with certain pronunciations due to language differences. And German is supposed to be one of the closer languages to English.

EEG is to imprecise to detect brain connectivity. It is really used to the timing of electrical activity in somewhat broad areas of the brain. Fmri should be used to map out connectivity, but even then it has limitations and it is not possible to make conclusions on intelligence, since the brain is such a complicated processor, influenced by a plethora of factors

As someone who has watched your videos for a while now, I'm so incredibly inspired by the way you connect with people from diverse parts of the world by honoring their own language. You really show how connection beyond cultural differences can be such a beautiful thing. What an epic gift that your sensory sensitivities have allowed you to develop these skills. This video is so different than what I usually see from you, and the topics discussed in this video are so vulnerable - so thank you for letting us in on what I could imagine would be a super personal conversation. But it is so important to take in the information you've gained and integrate it to grow as a person. I'm a psychology student currently studying neuroscience and this is an awesome example of how we can use developing brain imaging technologies to better understand ourselves. And - it's ok to need time to process what you've learned! I see some insensitive comments on here, but please don't let them phase you. Take the time you need to let this information sync in and utilize the awesome opportunity to see yourself in a new light! What a gift not many people are able to receive. Much love.

That is so interesting about that part of the brain ending at about the age of 11 to learn new sounds. That's the problem in the US with not teaching a foreign language until the age of 12 or 13. I like that it can be kept open by having a child watch cartoons in different languages so that part of the brain stays open.

Great point! Many schools in non-English speaking countries start language learning much earlier. That’s why there are English speakers in non English speaking countries like India or many African nations, for example. I am always impressed when I meet a person who speaks several languages, they usually have had the ability since early childhood. As a matter of fact, my last Uber driver was from Belarus and he spoke 5 languages, English being the only language he learned as an adult. Quite remarkable.

Many people in Europe speak at least 2 languages. English is most common. For example, in Germany they start teaching English in kindergarden. It's also common to learn Latin, Spanish and French in school. Some schools also teach Italian, Chinese and so on. Plus, immigration is common, so many kids speak at least 2 languages fluently before they even start learning languages in school.

@@janjanco209 that’s wonderful. You may be one of those awesome people who for them, language learning comes easier, then for most. I’m curious, at the age of 13, I would assume, one would still be in the information absorption stage of brain life… I wonder, if as an adult, learning a language in the same way, would be as effective… it probably would definitely help. Being immersed in an English speaking environment, where you were forced to communicate in the language you were learning, was most likely an accelerant in the learning process also. I’m trying to learn Spanish and I’m having a hard time retaining the information. I try to memorize vocabulary but I forget most of what I learned the day before. It doesn’t stick. Perhaps it’s because I don’t put into practice what I’m trying to learn as often as I could? Like being in a Spanish speaking country, where those words would need to be accessed more often. Also for me to try and put a sentence together, I first have to think about the phrase in English, then try to translate it to Spanish in my head, before I even try to speak it. I can’t just think in Spanish which is really slowing the learning process down. I’ve tried watching cartoons in Spanish and it does help a little! It’s fun when I can understand what they’re saying but most of the time I can’t. Especially if they’re speaking too fast and I’m not able to audibly separate words. Subtitles in Spanish help, but I just don’t think I could learn an entire language by watching tv shows. It’s very cool that you did.

The other kids didn't understand me because of my accent, so I learned very early to communicate with them in their own language. I talked southern at school but at home I talked with my Brooklyn accent. It was very stressful for me but it was a coping mechanism. I think that experience gave me a knack for accents. I can be eerily accurate pinpointing where someone is from, and I can spot a fake accent from a mile away.

11:43 I am that way! I forget what I'm talking about if I get the least bit distracted, or for no reason the memory of what I was about to talk about becomes like a deleted file right before my eyes. I have to rely on others, "What was I talking about again?" or "What did I just say?" And yep. I don't get much sleep. Now I have an incentive to try getting more sleep! (And maybe a brain scan one day.) Thank you for sharing this! I used to get more sleep as a pre-teen to mid-teenager, and that was the time I was "brilliant" in my own way (going from being way behind my peers in school, stupid at everything, clueless, unable to learn hardly anything... to suddenly learning a ton, and writing stories, poems, songs, making up several words for a language for a book series I was working on, inventing, drawing, painting, and more. That was partly due to a switch from public school to home school, long before the pandemic), but I was more easily woken. By everything. Owls, dogs, horses, chickens and ducks talking softly to each other, cracking sounds from old wood ceiling and flooring expanding and tightening from temperature changes, etc. But my dreams were vivid, especially right before waking up. It was weird, as I felt like I was 1/4 - 1/2 awake, so sometimes I was able to control and redirect my dreams. Especially the occasional repetitive dreams I got tired of having. Then they went away. I'd get really startled awake if someone came in and said something to me, or when my loud bell alarm clock would go off. Beeping ones, I'd half-consciously shut off and go back to sleep, so it "had" to be much louder. It was probably too loud, but I was living with an abusive person who was controlling, so I couldn't pick out my alarm clock. Then as I got less sleep over the years (caused by trauma), I became a harder sleeper. But that's probably because my brain is that desperate for sleep. Probably not a good thing. I do better on 8 hours of sleep, no less, and no more. But I've been getting 4 - 6 hours of sleep on average. I use 3 "pre-alarms" on my phone before my actual alarm clock goes off in the kitchen. I need it that far away because I'm a zombie and rebellious in my half-asleep state, and I'll literally shut off my alarm with teenager-like growling groans as though I had the power to make the world wait, and climb back into bed if my alarm clock is anywhere in the bedroom. That was frustrating when I needed to go to school or work. Now it doesn't happen anymore. But it's time I start getting more sleep. I miss my "golden age" of creativity.

Erm I am starting to realize why I like your channel so much we have a lot of similarities in the way our brains work... alot of the things like sensory picking up on distant dogs barking... constantly feeling tired and never being able to turn off thoughts always lingering on them unless I distact them with something... no tics but I can become obsessive but I have a lot of self control in that sense... however where I differ is irritability when I'm in a bad mood I can snap if someone does something to tick me off or if someone does something stupid that affects my day! other than that when clear headed i'm in control and I often take the weight of others issues on my own shoulders I also have a deep fascination with language... but unfortunately I lack the patience to learn through textual means! I wanna learn languages starting with japanese then I wanna learn mandarin and then maybe korean but one step at a time... my issue is I learn in practice with others with visual and vocal example text doesn't work setting language into memory I think though once I get it into longterm it would stick as I would practice it more probably via meeting people on vr chat to keep my japanese chat rooms I had a very different kind of culture shock when I first did it a sort of language barrier shock... one I wasn't aware of... I used google translate (never a good idea) to apologies for not speaking good japanese and well they we're audibly confused my japanese was broken, why?! well I only figured that out later with some heavy research a year later I found that japan has a very different order to their grammar than we english speaking countries do and I assume judging from some very bad chinese subs i've seen on quite a few chinese anime that the same would apply to chinese languages too... this all of a sudden made sense out of why manga books read backwards instead of saying in a group of 2 "I ate an apple" one would say "I apple ate" or in this case "apple ate" because they would know your talking about yourself if no one else is there in the conversation and would only have to specifiy "I" if you was with other people who could of also ate the apple besides the person you are saying it too! this appears strange to have pronouns is normal in english but to have objective and subjective language flipped is confusing to say the least... which makes sense now when I see a westerner avert their eyes up as they think of the proper way to say it in japanese grammar and visa versa... at least until they are used to it and it becomes as natural as breathing some of my takes from this are assumptions based on what i've learned so far I could be wrong heck the language site I was learning from could be wrong... but I honestly couldn't keep it up... I can't learn by textbook or sites I have to immerse myself in the language so I am hoping to travel... I recently changed my full name so I am still in the process of altering that all but once i'm done I am long overdue to get my own bank account for once instead of letting others deal with my financial affairs! once thats sorted I am gonna start being more independant I already cook for myself and go out to get regular exercise tbh it's hard to keep up with the cost my food and drink intake is higher than it used to be due to the exercise... I am wondering If once I learn enough language perhaps I could do what you do as a side hussle while I study youtube tutorials on the basics of engineering and do my gaming livestreams!

I think saying to digest the information with caution due to it being a developing field is fair. To misinterpret pushing technology and the boundaries of new science as being inherently false is probably not. You probably didn't mean it that way but it had those vibes since you qualified yourself with a degree. I fear that some people think their degree is an accretion to being the gatekeeper to subject matter truths. I realize this might not be a complex that you have and I'm not pinning that on you. It just seems to be a societal trait I am cautious to watch for. People rush to discredit anyone who didn't go in debt to learn something in the age of information overload. He does have a bit of a fortune teller vibe but this is an edited video. He might have taken more time to disclose associated science with attributed behaviors but they were edited out. During the video he calls out his ticks and he replies by saying he doesn't have any ticks. We can all see that he has an eye blinking tick. I don't think the data so much revealed that he might have a tick as much as itnwas visually observed and used as low hanging fruit to validate the data. If nothing else, it's interesting to understand where you are on the spectrum of those who have participated in the same testing.

ability*. And is most because you get used to it. Well, your brain, so each time you learn something your brain gets used to it and change. It also works for things like doing something under pressure or a really dangerous situation. If you face those things constantly, your brain changes around those experiences

The Doc probably didn't push the eye blink tick observation further cause he either didn't want to make him too self-conscious about it (especially an issue with some OCD-types), or otherwise due to possible awkwardness after Xiao adamantly seems to reject this. So no harm in letting him not notice it (although he might notice now after like half the comments have mentioned it lol)

I have some obsessive tendencies, occasional eye tic and weird speech patterns, but nobody has ever pointed it out. we've also never talked about in family and while my sister doesn't have it at all when she had kids I realised one of them has them, I thought that aw too bad but never mentioned it to anyone either. based on my experience people often just accept it as a difference and not mention it to a point that people having it might not even realise

I’m not, but this seems inaccurate as hell. Also 100% of man’s “predictions” you can learn easily yourself by watching 5-7 videos/vlogs. Additionally, why would you give a patient a test in the beginning? For capturing baseline characteristics? For what? Doesn’t make any sense. Actually, most of the characteristics in the beginning were taken from that test. Thank you Danielle for bringing this up. This should get more likes.

Either he didn't find anything really strange. Or wanted to test a hypothesis that he had. But, I find it ridiculous how little information he could get from the patient with that test. Other than the sleeping patterns which was impressive, but was also obvious if you just asked the patient about their sleep patterns.

Definitely get a sleep study! Mine changed my life. During my overnight study, within 2 hours, the tech was fitting me for mask to sleep with. He said I scared him with how often I paused breathing. Like 90 times an hour. I ended up with a bipap machine at 18 psi. I had been exhausted and falling asleep everywhere. Now, I sleep a good 7 or 8 hours a night and the fog has lifted. It saved my life.

@@OMGclueless I've had one of these done and compared to my experience with tarot readings I'd have to agree. I didn't get much from mine. Since this guy said 'its like you have anti-adhd' I'm wondering how the guy that I saw missed my actual ADHD that I ended up getting diagnosed with years later. I went in thinking they were going to diagnose some sort of issue with this test but they didn't give me any definitive answers.

@@autonomousAcquaintances I also think that not all people that come in to get brain scans are at their peak health/performance, so this affects the results and can make it tricky to fully understand how their brain functions under ideal conditions/settings. (External flaws and errors can affect results that skew perception of internal workings.) Also I don't think that neuroscience is that advanced yet. We can read brain waves now but I think it takes more research to clearly understand how those correlate with real life behavior and mental processing. We're not at the point where we can yet understand how electrical signals between neurons make all of this happen every minute or second. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong with the science to back it up.

Xiaomanyc, you might want to consider a sleep study. You have some symptoms of sleep apnea including a thick neck which may predispose you. Your sleep could potentially improve (if you have sleep apnea) with a CPAP machine. I really enjoy your videos and admire your creativity and zest for learning. It's inspiring.
