Learn about Brain Power

Description

Your brain is capable of more than you imagine. Learn how it adapts under pressure.

Transcript
Under pressure our bodies do miraculous things. At the top of our spine, a three-pound marvel controls everything we do, processing an incredible 100 trillion instructions a second. When faced with danger, our brain does something even more amazing. It can actually slow down time. The disaster center of the brain releases a supercharge stimulant, adrenaline. The heart pounds faster, blood flow and oxygen are redirected. Normally information goes to the thought center for reflection, but when there is danger, it's re-routed to the emergency center. Scientists believe that the brain sees images like a film camera, about 30 frames per second. In crises, the brain takes in many more frames per second. Like a high-speed camera, everything slows down seconds seemed to last forever. The result, our brain actually slows time itself. This adaptation gives us more time to evaluate our situation and ultimately enables us to survive.

This can be explained by a learning pattern that we humans learned long ago through habituation. For our complex minds, once a certain activity becomes a regiment, it simply isn't fun anymore....
