Neuroscientist Explains One Concept in 5 Levels of Difficulty | WIRED

I am Japanese. As I have written elsewhere, I was interested in the neuropsychology in this video, but because I am good at applied psychology, I was also interested in the psychology of the scientists in this video.

The idea that conscious awareness transposes computationally is a relatively controversial take in the neuroscience community.

And the computer has no conscience , subconscious or self

The computer won't be able to extract accumulated knowledge in our genomes

I HAVE A QUESTION! Have they studied how the heart and the brain connect? Also other organs with neurons. I feel we are studying an organ on itself when the whole body is connected.

this guy is really interesting

That is the most respectful 13 year old ive seen. Even his posture

😲

would the neurons replicated in the computer only be affected by binary, but humans by "binary" with physical interactions too?

wow and aw

External environmental stimuli - therein lies the difference

simulating connectome ? but we dont understand for neurons interact and how to provide needed stimuli

I think Jonathan Moore in You is based on this guy's appearance and I love it.

I don't think artificial brain in the computer would be just like us because we have more than just our brain "communicating" in our body. For example we have a lot of neurons in our nervous system.

I saw this video 6 years ago at the beginning of neuroscience career. I was very confused at the higher levels. Now, I watch this and understand the concept so much better. What an amazing feeling!

The neuroscience grad student did not impress...

All good - but he always has to end with "can we upload you into a computer?" instead of the myriad exciting possibilities of connectome, such as how we build societies together, what makes art and music, how we respond emotionally, what opens and closes memory? But he goes straight to the upload.

The connectome question is a good one for a philosopher.

Can you do a video with Abigail Thorne? 😂

I just love the teaching of the young kids, their minds being blown, the wonder in their eyes, excitement, how it could even be the seed which sets them on a course towards a long interesting and fulfilling life of career choices, education, exploration and discovery.
Bless scientists, engineers, chemists,, doctors and thinkers alike.

i have aquestion brain also an ability to adapt and change according to the environment ( neurosplasticity) how does this change will be taken into consideration in the simulation.

Why spend massive amount of money, particularly in this day and age. I guarantee if the results don’t fit the current narrative of the woke agenda, it will be vilified, demolished and labelled Misinformation by the Woke 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have NLP but this is totally different and I have to learn more and more.

His “huh” is brutal - you just know he has thought about these things for 20 years
Try getting a “huh” like that… you’d be completely wrecked 💀

They should do one of these on mitochondria. Theyre not just the powerhouse of the cell, and how humans got them is even more interesting backstory

too funny to think that by mapping just the brain, you could clone the person. it dismisses the mystery, soul, and so much more that science is its 'infancy' knows little about.

I clicked off when the trans activist milo appeared like some kind of wild Pokémon that I didn’t sign up to encounter 🎉😊

the silly music made it so hard to take everything seriously. such a shame

The grad student was very skeptical haha

The brain is constantly losing old memories and replacing them with new ones. Moments after the mapping is done, because of exposure to new scenario, an old opinion could change. Now, if the opinion change is related to the old memory lost, i think the computer cannot make/predict the change of opinion unless, again, there is a constant and predictable path/logic exists on which memory is deleted. I wonder if exists. if it does, it's kinda scary, like something happens within ourselves, within our "mind" which we are not aware of. I mean, the whole logic behind losing memory is that you don't think of the detail, and hence do not pay attention to it and so it's lost.

I'd love to know how much processing power they think would be needed for a computer to run such a map.

But guys, don't forget that when it comes to the Definition of counciousness, neuroscientists definitely need the help of philosophers...

Not impressed with the level 5 person, where he uses ANN terminology as if it were exactly equivalent to biological neurons. Although the perceptron was inspired by neurons, it's not anything like a neuron.

And we have limited knowledge about the brain, but, we're discovering new things everyday.

Can we get a paternity test between bobby and the 5 year old? Inquiring minds want to know.

remember he's just explaining the concept its not like everyone is comprehending it that 5 year old just says "oh" i doubt he understood it

The way he says “huh…” is just like he’s disagreeing and doesn’t wanna say it

As the costs would be astromonical to map a human brain. The primary consideration would be "Whose" brain would you map and Why..that would be an interesting discussion that I would love to hear.

The nervous system stretches far beyond the brain itself. As does every other component of our physiology. All aspects of our biology dynamically interact with and influence each other—often causally. Broadly, this is how human behavior and experience is constructed. Therefore, to merely map the brain (a phenomenal feat) cannot possibly replicate a person’s consciousness, experience, and being. It is infinitely more complex and involved…

I'm surprised that so many people think it's not possible.
Assuming humans don't wipe themselves out or rapidly evolve, I imagine simulating a brain is inevitable for us.
It seems like one of the next steps in life, like a Dyson sphere.
The benefits would be unimaginable to someone like me.

didnt know sundar pichai is a neuroscientist as well

Huh!

While I do agree that a connectome would be amazing and I certainly hope we could make then sooner rather than later, the expert they brought on kinda glossed over alot of things that could pose a challenge once it's done... Though it would be hard not to tackle them in before we already have the connectome.
