FLAME with Brad Hook
10 Scientific Discoveries That Will Change How You See Reality
What if your brain decides before you do — and you're not seeing reality, just your best guess? Ten peer-reviewed experiments that quietly rewrote how we understand the mind.
From the famous Libet experiment — the brain preparing actions before conscious awareness — to studies showing perception is predictive, memory is rewritten every time you recall it, and even plants respond to sound, this episode tours ten pieces of real research that challenge the idea of a fully conscious, fully in-control observer.
None of it is science fiction; all of it is peer-reviewed neuroscience, psychology and biology. Twelve minutes that make the predictive brain — the idea at the heart of FLAME — feel viscerally real. Once you've heard these, you may not see yourself the same way again.
