Mapping Time in the Insular Cortex
2:10:03 - 2:17:10 (07:06)
Studies have shown that the accuracy of an individual's subjective sense of time is predicted by insular activity, which could imply that vast amounts of our dreaming life are influencing our everyday choices and behaviors without us being consciously aware of it. This idea poses a testable hypothesis that could have significant implications for our understanding of the role of dreams in shaping human behavior and society.

Summary
The insular cortex is responsible for mapping subjective time perception and studies have shown that its activity predicts one's accuracy in sensing time. It also has the ability to increase frame rate in certain circumstances, raising the question of its potential role in performance enhancement.

Summary
A scientist entertains a testable hypothesis that dreams which reside within us affect our everyday choices and behaviour, regardless of whether we are aware of them or not. By proving this hypothesis, it could have implications for us as a society and species in terms of the influence of dreams on our lives.
