Reflection Gap

The most complex system in the known universe is sitting behind your eyes. You don't experience reality. You construct it. Reflection Gap explores the hidden mechanisms shaping human experience: perception, identity, consciousness, social behavior, memory, attention, and the strange process of becoming "you." Every episode begins with something familiar: a behavior, belief, illusion, or feeling you think you understand, then uncovers the underlying processes and systems driving your experience. This channel sits at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, philosophy of mind, and artificial intelligence, with a focus on mechanism over self-help and curiosity over certainty. Created by Jason Hemmerle, with a background spanning neuroscience research, behavioral health, education, and technology. Reflection Gap reveals what you're missing.
