Booooooo rap battles!
Spit-poppin' hind-brain in a head-on collision with the Broca's area produces one after another after another to add to Satan's minions of aural adulterers.

Well, at least that's settled.>> ^blankfist:

The way juris doctor blankfist sees it, the video content isn't being hosted on nor ever touches the VideoSift servers. The key difference between BT trackers and VS, according to the honorable judge blankfist, is the intent of the service. Whereas trackers are used to assist in peer-to-peer file sharing typically of copyrighted material, VideoSift is meant as an aggregator of material accessible via public and widely accessible video sharing sites.
It's thereby the verdict of the superior court of blankfist that this DCMA claim is bull fucking shit. Case dismissed.

I guess they are just trying to protect this poor guy from ridicule. Understandable. There is no way they can scrub this completely from the interwebs, it's already out there.


Yeah, my vid about the little girl who didn't want to turn black is dead because the owner disabled embed. He changed the title of his page to, "Leave My Kids Alone!"

Made me feel bad about even posting it. I'm going to just kill it.

@Boise_Lib: We were provided a full, valid DMCA takedown notice. (Whenever we don't see one, we don't comply. ) I just pasted the pertinent bit.
@gwiz665: You're right about that. Fortunately, though, we aren't obliged to do anything about it unless presented with a valid claim of copyright infringement.


Oh. Shit.

Bah humbug. Everything on videosift is infringing on something. All music, all clips.

http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/knatw/brocas_aphasia_talking_without_words/ Hey faculty, go take down reddit and youtube instead of us and whatever the hell poeTV is.

DMCA doesn't apply, since videosift doesn't host. They can go to youtube and ask to have it removed.

As much as I appreciate your expert legal opinion, VideoSift could in fact be held liable for knowingly providing access to infringing content. Consider BitTorrent trackers who never see one byte of copyrighted content, but are still deemed responsible for infringement. Besides, I'm sure the folks behind VideoSift don't care to get involved in a legal battle.

I found this as I was all WTF am I watching-

Not sure too highly of the credibility but it makes a story-

"Man with brain injury thinks he is talking normally, except he only says tono. Unless he's counting.
It's not only Broca's Aphasia, which destroys the ability to form language into spoken words, but it must be something impaired in the way his brain assigns thoughts and internal grammar/statements/vocabulary into muscle-produced syllables.

It obviously seems like he knows he's talking about something in detail, it's just that the last stage of language production - the formation of mouthed words - is impaired. The counting thing just boggles my mind."

Please have this video removed immediately.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video What if all you can say is Tono Tono - Broca's Aphasia. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

@cybrbeast:

I think you're mixing up the meaning of dominance. The paper you quoted use dominance in the context of which side of the brain has more activity as measured by EEG. Whereas in the vast majority of cases in neuroscience dominance refers to which side of the brain contains the language centers: Wernicke's and Broca's areas in the case of language dominance, and of course motor dominance in terms of handidness.

Anyways, thanks for the link. I have to say though, the paper you provided had a pretty poor experiment design. Ie: It had a small sample size, no control group, and some significant confounding factors (some of which are mentioned in the discussion) which is probably why the paper was published in s small journal like "Brain and Cognition". Seriously, biased experimenters asking all the questions WTF. In any case, it's interesting to see some evidence even if the evidence (in the paper you linked) is rather weak and quite old. It'd be nice to see a recent systematic review on the topic. Also, EEG readings are quite crude and it'd be interesting if someone can do some fmri studies and see exactly what parts of the brain are activated instead of the incredibly vague localisation to each hemisphere.

>> ^mentality:
The brain doesn't alternate dominance between the two halves or else you'd wake up one day left-handed and another day right handed. As Raaagh said, it'd be nice to see the study as this sounds like another case of the media and journalists coming up with false conclusions by mis-interpreting scientific data.
mentality, that's a baseless assumption that's completely wrong.
From: Asymmetrical Hemispheric Activation and Emotion - The Effects of Unilateral Forced Nostril Breathing
"Changes in nostril breathing efficiency, known as the nasal cycle, were first described by Kayser (1895) and have been well documented since (Keuning, 1968). The relative engorgement of nasal mucosa in each nostril changes over a period ranging from 25 to more than 200 min, resulting in a rhythmic shift of nasal dominance from left to right. Werntz et al. (1983) demonstrated a lateralized rhythm of cerebral hemispheric activation that is associated with the nasal cycle. The relative EEG activity in the left and right hemispheres shifts back and forth with a periodicity comparable to the nasal cycle. The phases of the cerebral and nasal rhythms are tightly coupled and there is a correlation of the dominant nostril with increased EEG activity in the contralateral hemisphere. In two-thirds of the subjects, the cerebral rhythm was an actual shift in dominance between the hemispheres. In the rest of the subjects, the relative changes were comparable but one hemisphere remained dominant throughout."
Also:
"Werntz, Bickford, and Shannahoff-Khalsa (1987) showed that this relationshop between increased air flow in one nostril and actication in the contralateral hemisphere is maintained during unilateral forced nostril breathing (UFNB). When either nostril was blocked so that subjects were forced to breath through the other, there was a shift toward relatively greater EEG activity in the hemisphere contralateral to the open nostril. When forced breathing was changed to the other nostril, the relative EEG activity between the hemispheres shifted as well."
which is why they used the tissues in QI.
Finally
"When the right nostril was dominant, subject performed relatively better on verbal tasks for which the left hemisphere is specialized and during left nostril dominance subjects performed relatively better on spatial tasks for which the right hemisphere is specialized."
I'll have to try that on my next exam

*nochannel *documentaries *brain *science

The channel assignments are tentative - need more info. stephenfryftw definitely raises a valid argument, but apparently he didn't bother to watch the video, as that point is addressed in the last segment. I'm not convinced either way. I'd like to see some peer-reviewed data. If it does turn out that none of this is verifiable, then I'd suggest the current channels plus *-lies.

More generally, though, there is increasing evidence that other great ape species do have at least some of the underlying brain structures found in humans to support language acquisition and production, such as a laterally asymmetric Broca's area. So, this is definitely not worthy of dismissing a priori.

(someone definitely needs to teach them good sound recording techniques.)

I was never exposed to Carl Sagan on TV until I'd read his best stuff: Cosmos, Contact, Broca's Brain... I'm glad because it would have been hard to read his shit while imagining this voice in my head.

This bit of silly nonsense was debunked 28 years ago by Carl Sagan in Broca's Brain.
