- Summary:
- Wonder why a watched pot never boils? See how the brain can warp time. Neuroscientist Dr. Chess Stetson explains the oddball effect using a series of pictures. Kittens flash on viewers' screen at the same rate, but when an odd-looking creature with fangs pops up, it appears to stay on the screen for longer. Illusionist Apollo Robbins uses juggling pins to show what happens when the brain doesn't have enough time to process information, while Jason Silva plays with the speed of sound and light.
