00:00:06,870 --> 00:00:07,930
Did you guys know that

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
chickens are made out of magic?

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(intro music)

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hey guys! So is a Mercedes-Benz like a chicken?

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or is a chicken like a Mercades-Benz?

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Confused?

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Watch this.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(music)

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its a new Mercedes-Benz ad

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which features a new stabilization system

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as advanced as a chicken's head.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These chickens are demonstrating their

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Vestibulo-ocular reflex

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's the ability that chickens use

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to stabilize their vision while their

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
body moves!

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Allow me to demonstrate.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Stare at this eye while

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
moving your head around in circles

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like a crazy person.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What did you notice?

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
While your head moves every which way,

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
your eyes stayed in relatively

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the same position.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this is how we stabilize our eyes

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in order to process an image.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
light shines through our pupil

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
into the retina in the back of our eye.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
creating a retinal image.

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If our eyes move too quickly,

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we do not give our eyes enough time to

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
process the retinal image.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Therefore, giving us blurry vision.

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We stabilize our vision through maintaining

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
our eye position

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and chickens stabilize their vision

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
through maintaining their head position.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
chickens don't have the same

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ocular motor control as us

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so, they have evolved the muscles

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in their neck and their head

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to stabalize what they see.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Not only do birds have stabilized heads,

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but other animals do too, like cats.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It just doesn't look as cool when you move them around

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
cause chickens have that long neck!

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Alright, well I'll see you

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
