How fast can your brain go? According to the latest video from Honda, it can probably go faster than you know and they’re going to prove it to you.
From a purely advertising perspective, it’s brilliant. It gets the mind into a beta wave state, much different than the standard alpha wave state that we’re accustomed to when watching television or YouTube videos. This is good and bad, something that most advertisers avoid because it can be tricky, but Honda appears to have pulled it off nicely. In layman’s terms, videos put your mind in a passive brains state, while this video attempts to (and in most cases likely succeeds) in making it active and exhibiting beta brain activity.

This company has always been a trendsetter. They’ve always pushed the limits and that’s the message that they want to convey to the watcher.
Mission accomplished. Here’s the video:
