Why Your Brain Never Stops Talking to Itself

Right now, even as you read this, there is a voice running. It is replaying something you said yesterday, rehearsing a conversation that hasn't happened yet, and wondering what someone thinks of you — all at the same time. You have probably tried to silence it. You couldn't. In this video, you will discover what neuroscientists call the default mode network — the ancient system behind your inner voice — and why it never actually turns off. You will find out what Harvard psychologist Matthew Killingsworth discovered about your wandering mind, what Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan found that can change your relationship to your own thoughts, and why the voice that sometimes torments you is actually the most socially intelligent system your biology ever built. If this changed the way you hear yourself think, hit like and subscribe — there is a lot more where this came from. #innervoice #defaultmodenetwork #psychology #humanbrain #neuroscience #mindwandering #evolutionarypsychology #whyyourbrain #selfawareness #anxiety #brainscience #humanbehavior #mentalhealth #scienceexplained #anthropology #didyouknow #mindblowing #educationalvideo #humanevolution #brainfacts #ethanKross #consciousness #thinkingscience #cognitivescience #humannature
