Fuck this is boring, ild rather nibble my forskin

[Ausiz]

Your lectures are just wonderful and SOOO informative. Thanks a lot for making them available!

[Sarastarlight]

All 6 Brain Mind Lectures can be purchased from the BrainMind website and from Amazon.

This is a 6 hour, 3 DVD Set

Yo doc it's fair hard trying to get hold of a copy of your book. Know any web sites that do have copies.

[Sarastarlight]

If you go to the brainmind website or to the website of the publisher, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, you should be able to find a link that would allow you to buy this book.

Fascinating. Makes me consider neurology. When one becomes an amputee, the part of the brain that was governing that limb remains as if nothing ever happened. It opens some interesting possibilities, for example with more progress in the robotics technology the once far fetched idea of having a robotic limb becomes feasible, with an artificial robotic limb responding to the activities of that part of the brain that governed the now amputated limb.

[EdMcStinko]

Of course the new limb would have to be very sensitive, in order to respond properly to the very low level of electric impulses the brain generates. Sound crazy? Not really when you think about how medicine has been able to construct artificial hearts for decades now, we also have machines that can do the work of our lungs and kidneys.

[EdMcStinko]

Now I'll get ahead of myself and say that with artificial limbs there may come a large number of legal issues, perhaps limits upon limb strength will be legislated. Another example will be the use of artificial limbs in sports and there might be controversy here too. Thanks very much for this Doctor, for some of the most eye opening education I've ever had.

Very nice! Rhawn is as good as Oliver Sacks or Vilayanur Ramachandran. This guy needs to be invited to the TED conference :)

The video constitutes one of six Brain Mind Introductory Lectures, posted on youtube, each providing an introductory overview of the functional organization of the brain. To reduce confusion, all CT images have been reversed so damage on the left appears on the left, and right sided damage appear on the right. For a detailed presentation I recommend one of the best neuroscience texts of all time: the 2nd edition of Neuropsychiatry, Neuropsychology, Clinical Neuroscience, by Rhawn Joseph, Ph.D.

hey can i ask you a question. I have problems remembering words at different times. one day i might have no problems and other days i have more problems, they are always semi hard words but not hard ones like hypothalamus or hippocampus, Thats easy but words like, relation or material when in conversation may be hard to remember and i have to stop talking and think or try use a different word. Also when i am writing i often miss letters. could i have slight brain damage????

R Joseph asks, If the parietal lobe is damaged do injured axons find new connections? Will they connect with undamaged tissue? ..at 22 minutes into the video he talks about this.

I think it has to do with having a "Director" account.

[GingerAutie]

Very interessting video, thans for putting it on youtube! But how could you actually upload such a long video?

Chronic phantom pain can be a nightmare. I have a microprocesser based pump attached to my spine, pumping tiny drops of pain medicine to my spine to kill the pain.
