[ Woman ]
Brain, when it fires its thoughts...

:51:05
is likened unto the landscape
of a thundercloud.

:51:10
And the synaptic cleft
is the sky between...

:51:12
- the storm and the Earth--
the Earth receptor sight.
- [ Electricity Crackling ]

:51:18
And you see this
foreboding dark cloud...

:51:23
boiling in the sky...
:51:26
and you see electrical impulses
moving through it...

:51:29
veins of electric light...
:51:32
and then you see it
hit the ground.

:51:36
- The brain looks like a thunderstorm--
- [ Electricity Crackling ]

:51:40
when it is presenting
a coherent thought.

:51:44
- So no one is ever seeing the thought.
- [ Thunderclap ]

:51:48
What they do see
in neurophysics...

:51:51
is that they see
a storm raging...

:51:55
around different quadrants
of the brain.

:51:58
- [ Thunder Rumbling ]
- Those are areas that are mapped in the body...

:52:02
and what a person
must be responding to--

:52:05
a holographic image--
:52:09
rage, murder, hate...
:52:12
compassion, love.
:52:15
[ Man ] The brain does not know
the difference between...

:52:18
what it sees in its environment
and what it remembers...

:52:22
because the same specific
neural nets are then firing.

:52:25
The brain is made up of tiny
nerve cells called ''neurons. ''

:52:29
These neurons have tiny
branches that reach out...

:52:31
and connect to other neurons
to form a neural net.

:52:34
Each place where they connect
is incubated into a thought or a memory.

:52:39
Now, the brain builds up all its concepts
by the law of associative memory.

:52:43
For example, ideas,
thoughts and feelings...

:52:46
are all constructed and interconnected
in this neural net...

:52:49
- and all have a possible relationship
with one another.
- [ Electricity Crackling ]

:52:52
The concept and the feeling
oflove, for instance...

:52:55
is stored in this
vast neural net.

:52:57
But we build the concept oflove
from many other different ideas.
