Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, really looks into the brain:
Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
I highly recommend this 18 minutes on our brains !

Al Seckel, a cognitive neuroscientist and master of visual illusions, explores some of the perceptual illusions that fool our eyes and our brains. Running through example after example of images that buck our expectations, he asks why such tricks make us so happy. He even creates some of his own illusions, challenging our notion of what’s true.

Angela Yuan built this amazing Etch-A-Sketch Clock. It uses the Arduino computing platform to control the knobs, which twist to sketch the time, every minute. The Etch-A-Sketch rolls to erase the numbers before starting all over again. It’s messy, and it probably took way too much work.
I love it.
