The candidate of biological sciences told interesting details

The project "Amazing People" of the TV channel "Russia" (VGTRK) overtook its competitors in its ratings, and the participants of the show were able to amaze even the most demanding viewers. Eight contestants took part in each edition. Candidates for victory had to pass a test that would allow them to demonstrate the uniqueness of their abilities. The participants were given a professional assessment by the chief expert of the program, leading researcher at the Center for Neuroeconomics and Cognitive Research, Ph.D. in Biology, professor at the Higher School of Economics Vasily Klyucharev. Journalists of the news agency Stolitsa met with Vasily Andreevich. They asked in detail about the truly fantastic abilities of the participants in the show and found out how all this can be explained from a scientific point of view. Well, and most importantly, how much what the audience sees differs from what it really is.

30 seconds per comment

- Vasily Andreevich, tell me: why did you, a serious scientist, a person far enough from any such shows, agreed to take part in the Amazing People project?

- Indeed, my experience with television was limited to various scientific interviews or popular science programs. But this project provides an opportunity to reach a mass audience and tell what modern psychology knows about the brain. The idea of ​​interpreting the performances of the participants in terms of how their brains work seemed interesting to me. After all, many unusual abilities specific person can be explained by the peculiarities of the work of his brain. Almost everything that happens in our project has a natural science explanation. On the other hand, I was also interested because it was such a personal challenge: to explain everything that happens on stage online. For me, of course, it is very unusual and curious. I was worried, thinking about what would come out of all this. And I'm still afraid to look at myself on the screen.

What was the hardest part about this show?

- To be honest, keep the line between scientific and popular when explaining this or that phenomenon. The organizers asked to speak briefly and clearly. But not all scientific terms may be known to a wide audience. And at the same time, you run into some internal framework, because not every phenomenon can be explained plain language. Sometimes Alexander Gurevich and I ( host of the program "Amazing People". — Approx. ed.) talked after recording the numbers, during the technical rearrangements. I told him more than I said during the recording. And in response I heard: “Why didn’t you tell this on the air? It's pretty interesting!" But I was given a rigid short comment format. Was good example. The man tried to reconstruct and identify people's faces from a computer image of the skull. In principle, this is possible. We had such a classic - the Soviet anthropologist Mikhail Gerasimov, who at one time reconstructed the appearance of Ivan the Terrible. Of course, it is impossible to do this with 100 percent accuracy, but you can determine the basic things. Similar reconstructions have many interesting examples and applications in real life! But since I had only 30 seconds to comment, it was not possible to tell in detail, in all details, but I would like to.

Unique abilities

- And there were people who have abilities that are inexplicable from the point of view of modern science?

“So far we haven't come across anything that can't be scientifically explained in one way or another. True, there was one controversial number. I stood up and said it was impossible. My colleagues and I agreed that something was wrong there. The number was really provocative.

Memory can be trained and strongly developed by special exercises. This is especially recommended for older people, when after 50 it begins to deteriorate.

- What is this number?

— A man with a black tight bag on his head was driving a car.

So he didn't see anything at all?

- Yes. He had previously seen a map of the area. But in terms of the nuances - how he behaved, how carefully the car stopped in the right places - I don’t believe that everything went there without some kind of trick. But it made a huge impression! One of the jury members rode next to him and did not notice any catch ...

Who else surprised you?

There were people, of course, with phenomenal abilities. For example, Boris Golik. We agreed that we would meet with him and even examine him in our laboratory. He has a phenomenal working memory, and we are studying it in our research center. There are actually very few people who can play music backwards or pronounce words and phrases in familiar and unfamiliar languages. Because most of us have very limited working memory. We can remember a lot, but we can operate at a given second with a relatively small amount of information. And Boris simultaneously retains a large amount of information, can manipulate it: memorize texts and immediately turn them around. An ordinary person cannot do this. I looked for research on this topic. An interesting scientific article was published a few months ago: a father and daughter with such abilities were discovered in Serbia. And the authors claim that these are genetically unique properties.

Human capabilities

Who else impressed?

- A wonderful girl Bella Devyatkina, who at the age of four perfectly knows seven languages: Russian, English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic. She also reads on them. In principle, anyone can master a fairly large number of languages, there are records up to 40, but not at such a young age. We have not yet contacted her on the topic of research, and it’s a pity to drag the baby to the laboratory. As I said, the vast majority of this or that ability can be explained scientifically. But when you read about similar properties of a person in scientific book- this is one thing, and when a living person stands in front of you, capable of remembering seven thousand digits, you experience some shock. Yes, I know it's possible. But it looks fantastic: thousands of digits after the decimal point of pi are running on the screen - and a person can name any one of tens of thousands in this volume! At the first moment, I even got confused. And then he explained that it was really possible, that it was possible to achieve such results with certain trainings.

To the question: “Is it true that what is shown to us is happening there?” - I answer: everything is really honest.

- That is, everyone, using certain techniques, can repeat this?

Well, not every ability can be developed, of course. But if you do not have memory problems, then it is really possible. My favorite example: when one journalist Joshua Foer wrote a book about people with hyper-developed memory, he interviewed them, and they all claimed that they had the most ordinary ordinary memory. He thought they were hiding something from him. How is it so: people memorize 10,000 digits and at the same time claim that their memory is no different from ordinary. The journalist decided to take part in their competition, to see from the inside what methods they use. He began to train for 20 minutes a day - he claims - and eventually won this championship, setting a world record. So what is it - good example that everyone can develop their abilities.

What was the easiest ability for you to explain?

- The ability of a project participant who, knowing the date of your birth, easily calculates what day of the week you were born. Any day - whenever it was: in the last millennium, or two weeks ago - unmistakably calls. It made an indelible impression on everyone. But since I had researched this issue a little before, I understood that this was not very difficult to do. This seems impossible if you just imagine a fat calendar. But there is a certain system according to which it is necessary to do from six to eight mathematical operations with the date of birth. Even I would calculate it on a piece of paper pretty quickly, but if you practice well, you can do this incredible trick and on stage. It shocked everyone in the audience, the audience was practically hysterical, and my modest remarks that it can be done, and it is not as difficult as it seems, did not make any impression.

Major discovery

There is a common phrase that talented person talented in everything. How fair is she?

- Yes, there is such an opinion, but it seems to me that there is no clear evidence for this. Of course, there are also multilateral people. We know geniuses who wrote poetry, and drew, and composed music. And there are people who are talented in only one thing.

But is it worth developing some of your abilities, nevertheless?

Research shows it's not useless. For example, studies of bilinguals - people who speak two languages ​​in equally- show that they are better able to control various processes in life and in themselves. This is due to the fact that they have to constantly switch from one language to another, and this requires internal control. They are considered to be more successful. But you need to understand that training affects exactly the function that you train.

- What would you advise everyone to train in the first place?

- Memory. big opening psychology and neuroscience last decade- in the fact that it can be trained and strongly developed by special exercises. After 50 years, memory deterioration begins, and such training can stop this process. And it is recommended for many older people.

- That is, it is not too late to learn, for example, English at the age of 50?

Yes, it's definitely not too late. And this idea - that only in childhood you can learn a foreign language - is not true. Can be taught at any age. It's just that there are periods when all this is easier. By the way, at one time in scientific circles, the discovery that it was possible to stop age-related changes by training, not very strenuous, caused a shock.

- Have you discovered any new abilities in yourself during your participation in the Amazing People project?

- Colleagues who sat next to me discovered such abilities in themselves. Someone, for example, found that he very easily remembers faces, names - no worse than some participants. And I made a very good discovery for myself: that everything is fair in this project. In fact, often people who come across me ask me: “Is it true that what they show us is happening there?” There is always some doubt. But I authoritatively declare: everything is really honest. And some of the participants were really wrong, and I was very sorry, because I understood that they were very talented people, but something just went wrong - maybe there was not enough luck ...

Project " amazing people” will provide an opportunity to show the participants their unique abilities, which are difficult for an ordinary person to believe in.

Talent Show "Amazing People" Season 2 Episode 7 aired October 22, 2017

Talent Show "Amazing People" Season 2 Episode 8 aired October 29, 2017

A new show has started on the Russia-1 channel "Amazing People". Every week 8 participants demonstrate their extraordinary abilities and only one of them will reach the final. At stake is 1 million rubles for the realization of a dream + a transfer cup.


Leading Alexander Gurevich something is wrong with the math: he said that there will be 6 issues, and eight participants will fight in the final. So some editions will have more than one winner? Well, the rules will change a bit as the game progresses.



Most of the numbers in Amazing People are related to numbers and recognition. But one girl struck not only Russian viewers, but the whole world! 4-year-old Bella Devyatkina knows seven languages, including Russian, can read, understand what she read and answer questions. Foreign media are already filming news reports about Bella Devyatkina. The secret of an amazing ability is simple: parents began to study with Bella Devyatkina foreign languages since birth. In the show "Amazing People" a little girl communicated with native speakers, answered their questions and at the end received a prize when she passed all the tests. Bravo! But whether this knowledge will remain with her until a conscious age - time will tell.


So, I liked the show "Amazing People" in part and I give it three stars. I don’t like the one and a half hour format, half of the tasks are frankly boring + the audience and the jury sometimes react to the performances too theatrically. Issues could be made shorter. My advice: look on the official website of the project record individual numbers and watch them - so at least save time. Well, the show is shown on TV on Sundays at 18.00 Moscow time. I will probably watch it online on the Internet when I have time.
