Everything is highly salient. When I look at this pen right here, it's highly salient. It's emotional. It's godly. It's quite an interesting phenomenon.

had temporal lobe epilepsy yes yes so it's quite and also Ramachandran and I wanted to study it more but we didn't get into it we focused on some of the OCD's work instead but it's interesting so these guys will become hyper religious as well they will have hypergraphies they will write all the time you know so they will develop this tendency to write And yeah, just become hyper-poetic.

And it's quite an interesting phenomenon. And some people have argued that in the temporal lobe, you have the God center of the brain, so to speak. In that region, that's where it all emanates in terms of the emotional landscape that belief.

Technically, yes. So it's very interesting. And I think with the whole temporal lobe epilepsy, right? So the whole landscape becomes hyper, you know, so the regions, we talked about the fusiform face area before. The regions from the cluster of cells in the fusiform and the emotional part of the brain become hyperconnected and hyperactive. So there's kind of a kindling going on.

So that's why when you look at a dry object like... like a pen, it becomes hyper cosmic and emotional and spiritual, right? But that's interesting. There's also the opposite in a way. So if you have what's called Cotard syndrome, everything in the world is dead. Everything in the world is, it's almost like depression in fact, but everything is in the world.

And you look at yourself in the mirror and you go, my God, I am dead, right? I'm a dead person. The doctor will say, what do you mean you are dead? They say, I'm dead. And then they say, what about if I take a needle and poke you and, well, are you dead? And they will say, well, yeah. And then the doctor might go like this and they bleed. And they say, well, how come you're dead? You're bleeding.

Can dead people bleed? They say, yes.

Can dead people bleed? They say, yes.

Can dead people bleed? They say, yes.

Apparently. Since I'm dead. Since I'm dead, right? So it shows you that something intriguing is going on in the brain. When these centers are hyperactive, everything becomes salient. If they're underactive, you are dead. In fact, if that part of the brain, the face area in the brain and the emotional part of the brain is hyperactive,
