A journey to the center of your mind

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl2LwnaUA-k


In this video, Vilayanur Ramachandran explores how brain damage can reveal the connection between the internal structures of the brain and the corresponding functions of the mind. He talks about phantom limb pain, when people hear color or smell sounds, and the Capgras delusion, when brain-damaged people believe their closest friends and family have been replaced with imposters.
This video is the exciting part. Everyone has a different experience growing up, so in my world there is no such thing as an exact definition but only dynamic definitions. This goes for words, colors, emotions, scents, ideas, cultures, objects, people, etc. This video made me dive deeper into the “design thinking” world. Hearing from non-designers is key in our future. Because ee are a hybrid society of designers.

I agree with what Jieun said, "Everyone has a different experience growing up hence in my world there is no such thing as an exact definition but only dynamic definitions. This goes for words, colors, emotions, scents, ideas, cultures, objects, people, etc."

I have great lyrics...

I'm are just a little person,
One person in a sea
Of many little people
Who are not aware of me.

I do my little job
And live my little life,
Eat my little meals,
Miss my little lid and wife
