It's amazing to consider that I'm holding in my hands The place where someone once felt, thought, and loved For centuries, scientists have been battling to understand What this unappealing object is all about Here is this mass of jelly You can hold in the palm of your hands And it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space The brain has evolved from the inside out It's structure reflects all the stages through which it has passed Information in the form of energy Streams in simultaneously Through all of our sensory systems And then it explodes into this enormous collage Of what this present moment looks like What it feels like And what it sounds like it explodes into this enormous collage And in this moment we are perfect We are whole and we are beautiful 【Robert Winston】It appears rather gruesome Wrinkled like a walnut, and with the consistency of mushroom 【Carl Sagan】What we know is encoded in cells called neurons And there are something like a hundred trillion neural connections This intricate and marvelous network of neurons has been called An enchanted loom The neurons store sounds too, and snatches of music Whole orchestras play inside our heads 20 million volumes worth of information Is inside the heads of every one of us The brain is a very big place In a very small space 【Jill Bolte Taylor】Information in the form of energy Streams in simultaneously Through all of our sensory systems And then it explodes into this enormous collage Of what this present moment looks like What it feels like And what it sounds like 【Carl Sagan】No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain We can change ourselves Think of the possibilities Think of your brain as a newspaper Think of all the information it can store But it doesn't take up too much room Because it's folded We see with the eyes But we see with the brain as well And seeing with the brain Is often called imagination
