If those diseases where tissues are deteriorating for example Alzheimer's, where the brain, the brain cells, die and we need to restore new brain cells, new functional brain cells what if we could, in the future, use cancer? A tumor put it in the brain and cause it to differentiate into brain cells?

So we're interested in exactly where in the brain, and what's the most important part of the brain.

We found activity in the brain region, in exactly the same brain region associated with intense romantic love.

A program called Brain Electrical Activity Mapping then triangulates the source of that abnormality in the brain.

It's deeply embedded in the brain.

We're the neurons in this brain.

Noise is increasing in the brain.

The things are connected in the brain.

And I realize I'm observing this with the brain, the human brain, the most complex thing in the known universe.

Brain magic. What's brain magic all about?

We found activity in other brain regions also in a brain region associated with calculating gains and losses.

My career path led me to become a computational neuroscientist, so in my day job, I create computer models of the brain to try to understand how the brain makes predictions, how the brain makes decisions, how the brain learns and so on.

Helen Fisher studies the brain in love

It can also happen in the brain.

It's all happening here in your limbic brain, the part of the brain that controls decision making and not language.

The new brain is actually kind of easier than the old brain.

This maps the large cabling in the brain.

So the first one is in the brain.

Anyone who gets up and tells you their theory about how the brain works and doesn't tell you exactly how it's working in the brain and how the wiring works in the brain, it is not a theory.

The old brain is still there. You still have that alligator brain.

It's easy to fool the brain in 2D.

Where's the brain trust that's in error here?

The net is doing the work in the brain.

The neurosurgeon pulled me out of the water because in his mind, at 15 minutes your brain is done, you're brain dead.

You're more complicated than your brain. You've got a brain.

Rebuilding the Brain

And you can see how the little math processor is working up here in his brain and is lighting up the whole brain.

These are images that come from Hanna Damasio's lab, and which show you, in a living brain, the reconstruction of that brain.

The big brain integrates signals, which come from the running programs of the lower brain, But subsumption means that the higher brain can interfere with the lower.

And once we create new patterns in this brain, once we shape the brain in a new way, it never returns to its original shape.

And the brain scans were identical in both activities.

And it's created in the brain via physical change.

These circuits are deeply embedded in the human brain.

The idea of replicating ideas ideas that replicate by passing from brain to brain.

Our newest brain, our Homo sapien brain, our neocortex, corresponds with the what level.

It's constructed. It's created in your brain.

So there is no neuron in my brain that is the same as another, and there is no neuron in my brain that is the same as in yours.

It's like three millimeters in the middle of the brain.

We can look down in the brain of the monkey.

A signal in the brain that triggers brain dysfunction might be sensed as a trigger for electro stimulation like we're doing with epilepsy.

So our hope is to eventually build brain coprocessors that work with the brain so we can augment functions in people with disabilities.

This is at an early stage, but you can show with the exponential growth of the amount of information about the brain and the exponential improvement in the resolution of brain scanning, we will succeed in reverse engineering the human brain by the 2020s.

It was said to echo in Churchill's brain in the 1930s.

That is why you, in your many skills and abilities, are a unique specialist a specialist that's vastly different in your physical brain in detail than the brain of an individual 100 years ago enormously different in the details from the brain of the average individual 1,000 years ago.
