oh..I didn't see that coming......


TEST YOUR BRAIN EP. 1

 Oh..i didn't see that coming..Watching the episode of Test your brain really tested my brain a lot. It also help me to know some of the function of brain. Our brain is like a CPU, a processor, that wire through all of our senses, what we see , touch , hear, taste and smell. However, how much can we trust our brain? Can we do all task simultaneously? The documentary shows us 12 interactive experiments to see how easily our brain are tricked. Yes, i was also tricked. So, i found my eureka moments during the show. My eureka moments is the moments that i didn't see it coming.

Pay Attention

I am paying attention to the money because i imagine that the man was going to show me his magic tricks. Using my left brain hemisphere , i assume that the man are going to change the money, and he did it. I am so proud at the moment until....UEREKA!.. "Notice the change I've made during the magic tricks?" the man asked. Who would probably notice the change when you are so focus on the magic tricks? So i realised that a person brain can only focus on one thing.Yes, i didn't see that coming.

Now i know how pocket thieves steal money

When seeing the magic man easily trick the public by taking their belonging without even them noticing, something struck on my mind. That explain how pocket thieves steal money. By using a series of distraction, a person can take anything from someone without them noticing, if you are a profesional. Before i ever watched this video, my mindset always think that a pocket thieves steals someone wallets or handphone using some sort of witch craft, a spell bound. After watching this documentary, i realized that it is our brain that can't function well due to the distraction, letting us to focus on one thing only. Yes, i didn't see that coming.

Oh my Penguin!

The host ask the audience to count the times the blue Jabawaki dance crew enter the spotlight. I also anxiously take part in the games, assuming that he wanted to test the audience how much attention can we give during the dance. At the end of the dance, the host ask the audience " So , who notice the penguin during the dance". As shocked as anyone can be, i laugh to myself. How can the penguin be there even when i am so focusing on the video. Yet, the host showed me how our brain are easily tricked when we are focusing on something. Yes, i didn't see that coming.

I really didn't see that coming

The show talks about brain from the first minutes until the last, and i can't even notice the brain that appeared in every games. Well, i really didn't see that coming.
