2:25 bridge the gap impossible for humans

[lovelplants]

she's really have the knowledge.

[thebigfootme]

thank you for the very useful information!

[agapitoflores001]

This is educational.

[kaferere]

Saying the brain is "compartmentalised" is the same as saying the tongue has different areas for different tastes. It is pseudo-science. Practical experience completely contradicts what academics teach yet because they have Phd's they consider themselves superior. Ever met a Phd? Most of them have trouble tying their shoelaces but we are taught that this is just their "eccentricity" because they are brilliant. No! No! No! They are idiot parrots who trail 100years behind art.

[TheNoodlyAppendage]

@kaferere Yeah well I think she is hot, and not just for her rocking bod, but that big well developed brain of hers is a real turn on.

[berniemac18]

@kaferere it kinda does friend :). do you know whear the ares of the tounge that tastes salty, bitter, or sweet foods?

[kaferere]

@berniemac18 If you do a little bit of research it won't take you but 5 mns to find out that the "compartmentalization" of tastes on the tongue is, and always was an urban myth. You can find so much information now proving conclusively that the previously held perception of the brain is falling apart because of the sheer weight of evidence. Remember not so long ago phrenology was an accepted part of science.

[berniemac18]

@kaferere : so the whole tongue tastes satly?

[kaferere]

@berniemac18 No, the whole tongue is capable of tasting all flavours, just as the whole brain is capable of all functions. In other words wherever you place a pinch of salt on your tongue, it will taste salty, wherever you place lemon juice on your tongue, it will taste sour etc. Don't take my word for it, do a little research, it's not a secret. There is a lady in U.K. who has virtually no brain at all, just a ring inside her skull, no centre. She is perfectly normal and holds 2 A - levels.

I am Telepathic person. I can exchange voice messages with people using telepathy , I can exchange video with other people and much more. maybe some of students or doctors is interesting to work with me, also make an experiment.

He/She is going to get knowladge about how this work and maybe find something new , and I can maybe

get help in how to protect me of stalkers.

I do not understand how this comunication works, how are brain wawes transmited.

[freyajean]

5:06 taking away personal experiences seems like it could help the focus factor on academics or vice versa. (just a guess)

[CatsEyes1717]

I can't remember what I just watched...just kidding!

Good video.

[kosamaofficial]

This was absolutely fabulous. Thank you very much.

[sandra15221]

I thought this video clip was very informative, provided just the right amount of humor and information on an very dry topic. Shedding some light on brain research, that I'm amazed on how they are forming their conclusion from their collected data. Circuit-Diagram for the Brain, unlocking the doors to effective types of learning in the 21st Century.

Henceforth! Let's all underachieve!

[freyajean]

8:00 remembering experiences are important

[freyajean]

7:40 processing

[freyajean]

8:10 smooth

[freyajean]

6:50 ;) huh interesting

[ppRoss]

SEE YA RELIGION. HELLOOOOOOO MAGIC!!! and im special magic for realising this :)

[SuperiorDirty]

If you like these talks, go check out Ted (dot com)

[mergatroidal]

Supposing we were to build a system mimicking biological cognition. What is it with a collection of neurons that allows it to create that "thing" in the back of your eyes? That "thing" that decides whether to scratch and itch, or not. Jellyfish don't possess this "thing." Canines, felines and hominids do. Are there videos or academic disciplines attempting to investigate and unravel the secrets of biological cognition? To put all the information to work and actually create a new species of life

[trisky1234]

I wonder if she takes into account the processing that occurs before the optic ganglia? I believe this is a learning system to some extent as well..

[RamzGT]

yes!!! as well as the micro movements of the eye - maybe these variables are feedback sensors which would help make sense of the deep levels of abstract processing? (in the back of the brain)

[DysphoricExemption]

shes funny, very informative

merci stanford

[PhoenixTheDragon]

good lecture

[PRSCE25]

ur a dum fuck

[xxxmavashixxx]

Good lecture, but I always loved and I will love Russian scientists... If to compare the American education and our you are simple ants in comparison with us. Russian always depart from norm and do amazing opening, Americans in this turn do all exclusively under books

sorry for my English, i can write in Russian but you would not understand anything what i say

[NPderive]

xxxmavashixxx: Maybe some Russians are smart, but I doubt you fall into that category.

[RamzGT]

yeah, checking his page out verifies this lol

[trisky1234]

This is true to some extent, though the cause is different from what you state. I believe the American scientific community is more limited in it's productivity due to the structure of influence from outside of the scientific community (business, politics). I believe this structure is more limiting than elsewhere..

[RamzGT]

theres more red tape, but this keeps us relatively on-track and focused to generalize and collaborate, to be applications-driven while maintaining a theoretical basis for what we're doing... its a management thing I think

[trisky1234]

So what I'm saying is that American scientists may come up with a lot of cool out-of-the-box stuff, they just run more risk of not getting it published due conflicts of interest.

[DefiningConcepts]

At 06:29, i liked Raymond's example of how the brain functions when driver encounters yellow light (accelerate!) and how behavior might change if police issue ticket. I just want everyone reading here to know: I go through red lights early in morning when there is no traffic, no pedestrians, and no police. I do have a brain! I will use my brain to access safety and not blindly follow a senseless directing light. I will continue to proceed through red when safe so as not to waste gas!

[tree6014]

Can't do that in Tampa where I live because they recently added traffic cameras that have resulted in thousands of tickets being issued to people for running red lights.

[Ace2844]

Excellent presentation.

[TheExPlOiTeDOne619]

Wow, thanks Stanford for putting these lectures up. I'm enjoying the heck out of these.

[IsometricCube]

wow

[bpyjktgiuk]

Brain chip. CHECK MY SITE.

[znasif]

Thank you for the great presentation.

[Fireclaw2k]

I agree with this video. There is a reason and cause why we act/behave the way we do. Seems very logical and understanding. I think we don't have choice, but governed by the basic building blocks of life and they way the are setup/modified.

[KidVideoE]

...but who decides to place the brain or body in the position to be modified? It is true that we are at the mercy of forces in the world and in that way are shaped by it, but I must refer to the old adage of being in the right place at the right time to effectively demonstrate the degree to which choice is ours. We have the capacity to place ourselves in different environments and so the capacity to control the input of information. We even have control over the brain's plasticity in learning.

[alchemistra]

Research being done in this area highlights the importance of continued learning as one ages. This supports the continued development of these neuronal pathways and may ward off age-related dementia.

[Suuuperdude86]

I've got to tell you: I've only seen two of these videos from Stanford but they are really great! Both very interesting and funny. If all of these are like the two I've seen, I'm very impressed by the research and also the lectures.

[intrepgun]

indeed! i like the way she describes the functions in the brain, and ties them in to what is generally considered typical events in daily life, and touches on much deeper issues without getting all 'doom and gloom' about it.
