Your Brain Is Making Stuff Up Again: Here’s the Proof! [Video]

Angry Face Illusion

Think you can trust your own eyes, ears, and mind? Ha! That’s adorable.

In this video from ASAPScience, your brain gets exposed as the glitchy meat-computer it truly is. Angry faces? Your brain picks one side over the other because of visual field cross-wiring. Soccer clips? Your reading habits decide which direction looks faster. Can’t picture an apple in your head? Boom, aphantasia, the brain’s version of airplane mode.

From audio illusions to emotional misreads to clocks that time-travel (kind of), this video takes you on a whirlwind tour of how wrong you are all the time. But don’t worry, it’s not just you! We’re all running around with brains that make up about 50% of reality on the spot.

Watch it, learn… then start second-guessing everything you see, hear, and think.
