Our brain is programmed

In ESTACA we not only learn to be an engineer, we have a class called "Connaissance de soi"(Self knowing). At 1st i found it very boring but since the class i had last week, i started to find the interesting part of it.

We talked about the human brain is programmed just like a computer. How a baby learns to walk? By programming his brain to synchronise his leg's movement. Another exemple is our mother tongue, which you can hardly forget it because they are programmed in your brain since you're small. I know this best because 2 months in Malaysia can make me forget my French but 1 year in France cant make me forget my Chinese. And there are a lot other exemples. Things that you don't do very often will be hard for you because your brain is not programmed to do it.

The prof showed us an image, which i've seen already so i was not tricked. It's an optical illusion image. Some people see a young woman while some see an old lady. Of course, i saw both, cause i said i've seen the picture before. What we see is normally what we used to see or what we always have in our mind.
My wife and mother in law.

Here are some other optical illusions, see how your brain is programmed.

A man or a liar?Faces or Vases?


6 or 7 cubes?

And the best of all, Message d'amour des dauphins(dolphins' love message). What do you see? Kamasutra? But see if you can find 9 dolphins in 3 seconds. This image can tell you how dirty minded you are, or your brain is programmed wrongly, cause a child see automatically the dolphins and not the opposite. Well to be frank, i spent 1 minute to find em, lol...

I can't see the old woman :(

Hey I don't know who's your teacher, but for this course I had to hand out a paper about my "Own Professional Project" and it made me do a lot of thinking and helped me somehow to figure out what I wanted (or what I didn't want)...

To sum up, I had realized that I didn't wanna work in engineering, so I was seeing no point whatsoever to stick to these studies, and I was about to drop school. I wanted to go for Chinese course, without any idea of what kind of job I could get afterward as I didn't really know myself what I wanted to do. And then I wrote this paper, which forced me to do that thinking, and figure out what I truly wanted.

I realized that the best way to get there (companies love commercial people with engineering background) was actually to complete this curriculum, get my degree, in parallel study Chinese, go as much as possible abroad (went to England - Ireland - China - England again - and India for curriculum-related purposes), and slightly orientate my CV toward a commercial profile (I found for my 4th year internship an engineering-finance mixed subject, and here in India, being far from ESTACA's administration and things being a bit messy, I managed to sign in for courses such as Marketing, Economics and Management).

And you know the happy ending / new beginning !

Make the most of this course!

You can't see the old lady? Give you some clue, the chin of the young woman is the nose of the old lady.

Btw, congratulations again, you must be jumping for happiness. Hope i'll find something as good as yours in the end of my studies in ESTACA.

Bonne continuation à Monaco :)

i found all 9 dolphins, khanruey jus try concentrate on the darker bits rather than the white bits then shud b able to find them..

btw i dun get the liar one ler...what u mean by liar?

Kevin said...

Haha, kaya, dat doesn't surprise me. But u just need some time to find em.

N Liping, try to find the word "liar", see it? And how long u took to find all 9 of em? That's the important point, cos every1 can find em.

Anonymous said...

haha the liar is a catch...ignore the eyes and tilt the head then can see liao.

oh thanks liping can finally see the dolphins... all 9 of them liao! My eyes keep distracted by the white bits lol!

wah not easy, i still can't find the old lady.

the 6 or 7 cube very tricky, the 3D will change itself....

can one doi. The key is to ignore the black colour patches. Ignore the black patch above the young lady's head. That's not going to help. The ear of the young lady is the left eye of the old lady, while the smile of the young girl is actually the nostril outline of the old lady. The disconnected white traingular shape surrounded by black patches is the old lady's chin, and she is slightly opening her mouth gazing downwards...hence the black crack above the white triangle.

haha definitely less than 1 min, soonlee! wahahaha...

yup found the liar...din noe is the word 'liar'

doi, see the black line on the young lady neck? it is the mouth of old gradma, which is slightly opened, see it?

Kevin said...

Doi, kaya explain like dat d, sud get it d gua...

Haha, Liping, are you trying to say that u've got a purer brain? Blehhh.
