TTC VIDEO - Biology and Human Behavior (compressed version)

---- This is the new public torrent (forget the old one, it will be deleted in the future) ---- TTC VIDEO - Biology and Human Behavior Robert Sapolsky http://www.teach12.com/ttcx/coursedesclong2.aspx?cid=1597 When are we responsible for our own actions, and when are we in the grip of biological forces beyond our control? This intriguing question is the scientific province of behavioral biology, a field that explores interactions among the brain, mind, body, and environment that have a surprising influence on how we behave-from the people we fall in love with, to the intensity of our spiritual lives, to the degree of our aggressive impulses. In short, it is the study of how our brains make us the individuals that we are. Biology and Human Behavior: The Neurological Origins of Individuality, 2nd Edition, is an interdisciplinary approach to this fascinating subject. In 24 lectures, you will investigate how the human brain is sculpted by evolution, constrained or freed by genes, shaped by early experience, modulated by hormones, and otherwise influenced to produce a wide range of behaviors, some of them abnormal. You will see that little can be explained by thinking about any one of these factors alone because some combination of influences is almost always at work.

A Summary.avi -------------------------------------------- Compression mini tutorial (hope I stimulate others to compress): 1. get SUPER (it's freeware and can convert everything to everything) SUPER RULEZ:D 2. modify settings like this (or cut a little portion of video, then play around): 2.1 codec H264 2.2 set video width X 288 (width/288 must be equal to originalWidth/originalHeight) 2.3 set video bitrate somewhere between 240-270. I set it 240:P I didn't go lower. 2.4 set audio: mp3, audio bitrate 56kbs, sample rate 22050Hz 3. Hit the button:D You should get videos somewhere around 60-90 mb. That's all (of course, then you create a torrent, then upload to tpb:D)

Thanks for uploading this. It's a lot smaller in filesize than the uncompressed version. However, it's worth noting that the resolution is 264X192. Personally, I'd rather use more disk space and take a longer download for 640X480.
