there are experiments where people's
task is to pick up an object they can
see the object in front so you're
getting the task that's the basic story
the story is what you're required to do
is to transform yourself from personal
or no into the first move have
possessions that watch just a standard
laboratory experience but the wash is
actually not there it's an image that's
generated by mirrors and we move towards
the watch you find that it's not where
it appears to be well the fact of the
object not being where it appears to be
in the denominator your current plan and
you react to that emotion the first
thing that will happen is that obviously
you're going to be surprised
right you think this is pretty easy I'm
going to pick that up and you find out
something that you see as well actually
there that's the normal if you contract
at your desired future which was your
aim when you move your arm with the
actual outcome of your actions so part
of your brain called the hippocampus it
seems to be responsible for comparing
what's actually going on in so far as
you can interpret that which what you
want to happen and if a mismatch occurs
that sets up a whole sequence of related
events and those events manifest
themselves in emotion and in thought and
in behave
most evidently in emotion if you're
going to do something we've done it
before and it doesn't work out the way
you expect it to the events that
constitute the anomaly the unexpected
occurrence there are surprises and the
question is what is surprising me well
it basically means that something
threatening has occurred to something
something what do you mean but the thing
about ongoing is it don't know working
it's pretty that's a very
straightforward stater but see that
immediately very immediately introduces
experience sort of paradox because you
lack incident information for this
people don't do what they're doing all
the time.we things that you come into
contact with
you will understand the law and that
means an assent but you have to know
what to do when you don't know what to
do because you don't know what to do a
lot and I just don't just bring it to a
halt what is the case that your nervous
system is hardwired to move to a sort of
default position when you plan to the
explicit plan if that you have that
you're carrying out sales so as long as
you could say I said as long as you know
what you're doing which means that you
have a representation of where you are
and raised like you're carrying out your
planners to make the move and things are
going according to plan
as long as you're doing that then the
higher senses in your of your brain the
cortex basically it's under control you
know what you're doing you feel
comfortable and secure as soon as
something unexpected happens the control
shifts and this is something to
basically beyond your capacity to
control when you can interfere with the
problem control shifts from the cortical
centers to the more fundamental areas of
the brain the limbic system when
something unexpected happens to think
Booker you stop you feel look today
about it and how unexpected these
occurrences it's really unexpected
you'll be very very frightened it's just
minor something minor the unexpected you
just stop your sensory processing
lighting will gather more information
and you'll explore and that's what
scores generate information the
information is supposed to bring me back
on course basically so you can say what
to do if you're trying to reach for the
Washington final they didn't create it
while you start making different sorts
of approach sequences until you end up
producing notes um they can attend it
when something unexpected occurs two
sets of circuitry are active you one
looks like it's dominated by the right
hemisphere the other looks like it's
dominated by the last thirty two
unexpected things make you anxious and
curious and you can localize those
emotions in the body so to speak anxiety
is the emotion that accompanies the
cessation of your body plan directed
activities
okay that's you can say that anxiety is
what you feel but you'll slip into the
motive pause pause for further analysis
what you expected didn't happen you have
to stop curiosity is what you feel when
it's necessary for you to explore
further to gather new information update
your planet and exploration is basically
governed by the interplay of the
circuitry bring certainty immediate
anxiety and curiosity curiosity by the
way enough associate with positive
emotions that I need ideas of levels
dissociation that's a negative people
should people graviton experiences
curiosity for surprise it basically the
juxtaposition of those two sets of
emotions which were antagonistic the
unknown produces conflict all by itself
you have a hardwired response to the
emergence of the unexpected you have to
because you have to know Athena so that
you expect with her it's
anything--this your instinctive
responses unnoticed a variety plus
curiosity which is to say cessation of
ongoing motor activity plus a drive to
move for an explorer and your
exploratory activity is actually the sum
total of the activation of the two sets
of circuitry that mediate that response
going to explore if you explore
something unexpected items you don't
have to explore you can note it in gets
hell out of there it's safe but you
don't gather any new information it's a
good short-term strengths not in your
long term charge but anyways the point
is is it surprise accidents curiosity
and it tells you for to generate new
information you update your plan so you
can get to where you want to go the
point is the mismatch between what do
you expect to happen and what actually
happens that gift and hits things I'm
