Jesus Christ... I thought the English DB would never shut up! Nobody is there to see him talk... get out of the way already!

How remarkable, to see the responce of the crowd when the beardy guy (Bingham) says I would want you to say ''Happy birthday Francis Bacon''..

I a way I find this a scary thing..

if any of you guys are ever near the San diego, La jolla area, be sure to visit UCSD and maybe if your lucky Ramachandran has lecture on that day and you can sit in on his lecture. i was very honored to have been in his class, wonderful experience. he doesn't teach every quarter check the ucsd website for his schedule of classes.

WOW...I think Ramachandran is trying out a new BAD BOY SEX APPEAL with his open shirt showing a lot of chest and some chest hair, a shiny golden bling to draw attention to his chest, and a black leather jacket.

@palabing Does it matter? He's talking about neuroscience. That's the point of interest in this video and not his body language.

Amazing speech, Excellent explanation for development of Civilization

That's a great question that wasn't asked as far as I'm aware: is mirror neuron function impaired in individuals with autism and psychopathy? In either case there is a lack of empathy, but they are both capable of vicarious learning as far as I'm aware. The psychopath may even derive pleasure from the fear of a victim. Perhaps it has to do with the where the neurons involved are situated?

whats wrong with him..he's not as energetic as usual..also look like a blind guy for some reason lol..

Dr. Ramachandran looks very tired in this lecture. I hope he is okay. I love his lectures and I find that usually he is more lively.

[MrRobotoToo]

Fascinating stuff.

[feldsliscia]

The actual lecture starts at 7:36. (thumbs up to keep it on top)

[LordNapalm]

Probably my favorite neuroscientist.
