👁Why a sausage can do what your gloves cannot
🧠Charles Wallace and Sajan Saini
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 2010, South Korea experienced a particularly cold winter. People couldn't activate their smartphones while wearing gloves, so they began wielding snack sausages— causing one company to see a 40% rise in sausage sales. So, what could sausages do that gloves couldn't? In other words, how do touchscreens actually work? Charles Wallace and Sajan Saini dig into the science of touchscreens. [Directed by Luis Torres, Mr. Flama, narrated by Addison Anderson].

👁The language of lying
🧠Noah Zandan
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣We hear anywhere from 10 to 200 lies a day. And although we've spent much of our history coming up with ways to detect these lies by tracking physiological changes in their tellers, these methods have proved unreliable. Is there a more direct approach? Noah Zandan uses some famous examples of lying to illustrate how we might use communications science to analyze the lies themselves. [Directed by Nadav Arbel, narrated by Noah Zandan].

Jeffrey Siegel illustrates how a good mix of sleep, nutrition and exercise keep your muscles as big and strong as possible. [Directed by Brett Underhill, narrated by Addison Anderson].

👁How language shapes the way we think
🧠Lera Boroditsky
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣There are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world -- and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures. But do they shape the way we think? Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares examples of language -- from an Aboriginal community in Australia that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words for blue in Russian -- that suggest the answer is a resounding yes. "The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is," Boroditsky says. "Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000."
