![]() ![]() Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (04:46) The colony is regulated by local signaling. Leaf Cutter Ant Colony (02:58)Įach ant has a specific job but they work together toward a common cause. Eagleman demonstrates the experiment it has no personal meaning. The Chinese Room, first created in the 1980s, suggests that manipulating communication in order to create valid responses is possible. The iCub is designed to learn like a human child. The goal of a sentient machine has not yet been accomplished. ![]() The team hopes to have a fully working simulation of the human brain by 2023. A computer recreates each interaction and integrates with data from around the world. Scientists subject slices of rat brains to electrical current, mimicking brain activity. Shawn Hill is part of the Blue Brain Project that aims to create a software and hardware infrastructure that can simulate the human brain by 2023. Eagleman reflects on creating a digital copy of the brain and running it on other platforms. Moore's Law states computer processing power doubles every two years. He maps a mouse brain, slice by slice, to creates a 3D model of connectivity. Sebastian Seung at the MIT Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences works to understand the unique patterns of connections that underlie brain function. Alcor Life Extension Foundation preserves human bodies and brains in liquid nitrogen with the goal of reactivating the deceased with technology that does not yet exist. Brain Preservation (04:05)īrain preservation is possible, though the science is controversial. Eaglemen reflects on the loss of knowledge with Francis Crick's death and the possibility of accessing information stored in the physical structure of the brain. Physicality dictates how we think and feel. She controls a robotic arm by thinking about it. ![]() The spinal cord nerves that connect Jan Sherman's brain to her muscles have deteriorated. Alien Language Game (03:59)Įagleman's lab member Joshua wears a vest that transmits a word in the form of a vibration and attempts to guess what the vibration means. The brain works to decode the signals, cross-referencing them with other senses and detecting patterns. Since the 1970s, the cochlear implant allows deaf people to hear. Seven years later, she is functioning normally and no longer suffers from seizures. Cameron Mott Today (02:08)Įagleman examines scans of Mott's brain before and after her operation. Doctors discuss the difficulty the procedure. A young girl afflicted with a rare inflammatory neurological disease has nearly half her brain removed to stop seizures and save her life. The brain orchestrates all aspects of our body. David Eagleman wants to explore where the innovative human brain can take the species as technology becomes more sophisticated. Human beings are surrounded by inventions, living closely with machines. Who Will We Be? Part 6: Introduction (02:30) FREE PREVIEW ![]()
