Optogenetics: Illuminating the Path toward Causal Neuroscience

asleep woke up to this

Good morning, everyone. No joke, I just woke up and this was playing. It has nothing to do with what I was watching when I fell asleep. It is 0530 PM EST - Friday, February 9, 2024. I am going to go back to sleep because I still have an hour before I have to get ready for work. Have a great day everyone. If we are all on a similar journey in life - I hope and pray that we all have the greatest happiness and love in our lives.

Woke up to this and ended up watching the whole lecture.

Like everyone else in the comments, I woke up to this in the morning. I’d only slept a few hours as I went to bed very late, but I had the most vivid, detailed and disturbing dream seemingly right before I woke to the words on this recording. I feel like one of the exclusive members of a mysterious phenomenon. We all have something in common, but we don’t know why.

Waking up to this but you have ADHD and now you're hyper focusing on a complex medical research subject that you just learned about 👁️👄👁️

I fell asleep to a completely different video from a smallish creator and then I go to use my laptop this morning and this video was the last one playing... We must all be bonded for life in this very specific club lmao

Everyone saying they woke up to this but I use these types of videos to fall asleep😭 it’s so calming what

I think it might be possible that we are all waking up to this video playing because one, it is not uncommon for people to fall asleep watching YT videos, and this video starts with almost a full minute of silence. I have observed over the years that a lot of times when people fall asleep while sensory input is happening, and then all of a sudden that sensory input is halted, it somehow triggers something in the brain to wake up. When I was a kid I used to mess with this idea every time my dad fell alseep watching TV, if I was trying to wake him up by talking to him, he would not wake up, but as soon as I would hit the mute button, or if I changed the channel (initiating a silent pause while the channel flips), it's like he would instantly wake up. Orrrrr maybe we're just in a simulation.

Can someone give me an explanation on why most people woke up to this specific video playing?

I also woke up and this video was rolling. INTERESTING so many of us have been drawn into this collective!

I'm also one of the people who randomly woke up to this, but this actually somewhat my field so it was a very positive surprise.

Looking through my history to see if the path to this video is a logical one before I go back to sleep.

Woke up to this, yeah I’m pretty much certified in the subject now 😎

The fact that I’m not the only one who woke up to this particular Harvard lecture let’s us all know we are in a simulation and we slipped to the sleep brain we need to use this information against them

I wake up to this sh about three out of four times and the fact that there are other people who share the same experience disturbs me on an inner level, not that there is anything wrong with it, but I get the damn chills every time. Makes me question life, the universe and everything to such a level, that even 42 can't explain.

Im a nursing student last night I was watching videos on Mental health, fell asleep and woke up to this. I didn't find it weird but reading the comments.....

Fell asleep listening to a video about family (how to heal) and woke to this. Are we seriously a club?

I accidentally fell asleep while using my computer. I was listening to ASMR. I have no clue how I ended up in this lecture. Woke up in the middle of the night, to this.

Can we use Optoginetics to help understand why everyone is waking up to this video?

It's actually scary how most of us woke up to this video..
