A great way to support the channel and to help us to keep going is to check out our merch shop! My wife has created tons of really cool neuroscience, data science and psychology themed shirts, mugs and other gifts.

You can also help the channel by checking out one of my favorite neuroscience books! If you're like me though and don't have time for a physical book then consider listening to one of these on Audible. You can get one of these for free by signing up for a free trial. Even if you cancel before the trial is up, our channel still gets some much needed support!

Are you frustrated because you want to read as much as you can but you can never find the time to pick up a book? I noticed as I got older and busier that I was reading less and less every year. Audible was an absolute game changer! I was able to listen to all the books I wanted to and it was all during the down time moments where reading a physical book was impossible (driving my car, doing the dishes, out on a run, working in the yard..). In the last 5 years I've now listened a total of 4 months 20 days and 8 hours and have managed to listen to over 200 books. They do a free trial and give you your first book for free so give it a try and see if you get sucked in like I did.

Consider checking out my udemy course on group dynamics and social psychology!
If you enjoy my lectures than you might also enjoy my online course on group dynamics and the ways in which groups influence our behavior. www.udemy.com/...
This is the seventh lecture in the Cognitive Neuroscience course. Our brain receives billions of bits of information every second of every day but we are only perceptually aware of a small fraction of that. Attention mechanisms, both voluntary and involuntary, are actively filtering the information that is coming in to boost signals that are important and ignore those that are redundant or useless.
