- The human brain is a supercomputer with networks that control the various functions that make us who we are, and allow us to do what we do. When brain circuits malfunction, debilitating motor and behavioral symptoms may emerge. Direct electrical modulation of malfunctioning brain circuits has tremendous potential to alleviate human suffering in dramatic and sometimes surprising ways.
Pinky: Gee, Brain. What are we going to do tonight?
The Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.
Pinky + c3pO = terminator
astrialkil I finally understand
I KNEW there was something familiar when I saw this duo! :D
char rosa
It all starts off innocent.
Please turn off the part of my brain responsible for being lazy
Omg if that's possible! =D
Thats What I Was Thinking
Rafael Dela Cruz Basically, your brain is responsible for everything. But you control this part by finding motivation.

This is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
These guys should do an educational show. They're amazing. It should be like cosmos or through the wormhole but about the brain specifically.
Super neat!
Man, I'm already having a hard enough time trying to decide between neurology and physics. Maybe ... maybe we should start a new field. Neurophysics!
they can't stand still for even one second, this is absolutely hilarious! and they both have the same mannerisms.
I have an uncle who is 42 and lives with me. He has what I beleive is dystonia. Our family, has taken care of him siince I can remember. He crawls everywhere when at home and wheelchair bound. But he is not incompetent. He goes to the bathroom by himself unless we have to rush in there and help. (Not worth the mess) but anyways I would be a dream to see him walk. Hes religious too, so it be really cool to see science prevail where God has failed. Ive seen soo many pastors pray for him saying GET UP AND WALK.. to nothing. Hes an amazing person and strong-willed. I know chances are slim for this technology is barely getting off the ground. But, it feels good to know that pretty soon others with that desease will have hope.. The thought of seeing tito walk brought tears to my eyes. . Because suddenly there is a possibility. Great work guys.
your brain controls everything
and we can control your brain. ⇧such a perfect lines
Bоost your brаin power in 14 days? twitter.com/a988ac3a8671a5b89/status/804578733948444672 How to controol the brain Michael Оkun aaaand Keelly Fooooote aat TEDxUF
definitely mind-blowing implications ...
this obviously worked so well with that boy, wonder if people with paralysis of any kind e.g. after a stroke or braindamage by some accident could be treated effectively as well where too much damage has occurred to work with conventional and altermative therapy.
still I do think it's extremely scary even creepy yet extremely fascinating at the same time that this is what we are at at this point in human history.
what's going to be next???
so annoying to hear their breathing all the time :(
i didnt notice bothering breathing until i red your comment half way through...
Eliza Lensa he needed to blow his nose from the start!
These men are magicians and you're annoyed to hear their breathing. You make me a little bit sad.
Omkar S Seems like these men are 'black magicians'.This is NOT 'cool'. This is Not 'neat'. This is dangerous. Giving people the power and authority to 'control your brain' will eventually lead us all to a bad place.
DAMN U hahah im like eliza, didnt notice until i read your comment lol way to go
Those two guys are Saints.
what about helping someone who's had a aneurysm ?? my 19 yr. old brother just had one 3 days ago. half his body is paralyzed and half his brain is showing no activity..... can u guys help him??? please..
That M.S. lady is amazing. It's like a miracle for her. As well, how great it would be for anyone suffering addiction to just have an electrode introduced to the brain and in minutes, the addiction is gone. What about hypnosis though, isn't that controlling the brain as well?
It was 8 years ago.
Where are they now?
What are the updates?
The brain is not a supercomputer. This metaphor is not only incorrect but it is misleading as Dr Norman Doidge, author of the book "The Brain that changes itself" goes to great lengths to point out. The work that the guys here are doing is fantastic and the none but the most heartless would deny that many are being helped by this work. But the premise is actually wrong. The last 30 years have show that the brain is not a fixed entity (as would be a supercomputer) but is actually completely plastic hence the term neuroplasticity. I cannot go into details here but if you read Doidges work you can see that countless cases prove that our brains are actually being changed all the time through our own attitudes, choices and responses to our experience and our environment. But above all our brains are changed through what we do BOTH internally (imagining thinking etc) and our motor behavior. Through engaging in certain programs (with no medical intervention involved) patients with OCDC are shown (demonstrated through MRI scans) to have rewired their brains and overcome their disability. Surely everyone would agree that it would be far better to take this route than to plant electrodes in the brain which should only be done as a last resort right?
In any case please check out Doidge's book. Its cutting edge and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
I think you have a deficient understanding of what computers are. They need not be fixed entities. Hence, the metaphor is correct.
If you are referring to AI well people like Jeff Hawkins of Numenta are full time involved in work related to building machines that learn and using knowledge about how the brain works to inform that. But this is in its infancy and the materials that computers are made of are completely different from the tissue that makes up our brains. I strongly recommend reading about Doidge indicating the brain's neuroplasticity. As one reads one feels shocked that this info isn't more widely known.
Hopefully truth rather than market concerns will slowly start directing the aquisition of human knowledge. Take care.
David Watermeyer Thanks. I've heard Doidge speak and am aware of neuroplasticity, but still claim what I wrote above.
Sure, there are differences between modern computers and human brains, and that's why we use the word "metaphor", not the word "synonym".
Brilliant! I am personally training a Parkinson's patient of yours, Simon Spatts Patterson who you did DBS on. He is a remarkable, inspirational, motivated and dedicated man. He shared this Ted Talk with me and I just wanted to say thanks!! DBS is miraculous science. Great job! You have given so many patients including Simon, a chance at a "normal" life. I hope to be a part of making his life great too! Tx!
This is three years ago but I thought I'd reach out, my mom is kelly. Those men do Miracles. So cool so hear another success out there!!
I want to feel happy how can I get my neurhands on that, I spend so much energy all day trying to talk myself into being happy forcing myself to smile doing anything I can and usually at best it just keeps me from getting extremely depressed but I’m not sure if I remember what happy feels like anymore, and it’s not like I’m not grateful because I really do have so much to be grateful for.
What really brakes my heart is I have two beautiful little girls 2 & 5 years and I don’t know how to teach them to be happy I mean they are so smart it’s not like they can’t pick up on there Dad forcing a smile all the time I could and should be genuinely happy just being around them watching them interact with life play ect.
And I love being around them playing with them I absolutely adore them so why do I have to force the smile why doesn’t it just happen, not saying I’m broken but it feels like there is something broken.
You are NOT ALONE.......you literally have to talk to your subconscious ........every night b4 sleep ask yourself a question like this...... I wonder what amazing thing will happen for me tomorrow, or something similar...... your subconscious is made to work to find the answer....... it will stop focusing on so much of the negative and search for something pleasing and positive. Also keeping a book or a journal and gratitude.....sounds to simple but it works! Also first thing when you wake up in the morning before you got out of bed, think of five people in your life that you are so grateful for and maybe a happy memory you had with them.......❤️❤️🙏🌿.....THESE TIMES ARE ROUGH!
' THE BRAIN ' GOD'S BEST GIFT TO EVERY HUMAN BEING. I THANK GOD FOR THESE DOCTORS WHO USE THEIR BRAIN FOR THE WELFARE OF THE SOCIETY.
This is amazing work!!! You two are not mad scientists, you're real life super heroes!!! What I wouldn't give to not suffer through the hell of bipolar-mania, depression, & mixed episodes, Panic disorder with agoraphobia, insomnia, and anxiety!!! This is wonderful news to those with brain disorders!!! Keep helping people, this is truly the work of building wonderful lives for people who can't stand being in the hells they suffer through on a daily basis. A big round of applause to you both and your team/s!!!
You are absolutely right, 101%. Don't you think they deserve more recognition than hollywood trash?
Real heroes are the people whose lives are destroyed as a guinea pigs for these experiments and they are still fighting and trying to survive for their dependents and loved ones.
The "Penn & Teller" of the Medical fraternity!
Wow. OCD woman's husband is AWESOME. Few men wouldn't just RUN. Wow. Mad props. Applause. If you see that man, give him a hug from me. Unbelievable.
That's what I was thinking. Up to the hug part anyway :)
This is on TEDx and that nonsense 'bad feminist' horeshit is on TED. Wtf is going on with the world?
amazing, the child who can walk again is amazing. dangerous technology their working with though but amazing cuase
Well, that is terrifying news... oh well, I figured something like this was bound to happen. Yay Progress!
The husband in the story with the obsessive compulsive wife who deems everything as contaminated lacks courage and leadership. How did he come to the point where he strips himself naked before walking into his own home? I would say to the wife, "No, this is irrational and we're getting you help". I believe when our loved ones are behaving incorrectly - whether children, spouse, parents, etc. - we must not give into their demands because it only makes their disorder worst and they are confirmed that they're right when they are absolutely hurting us and themselves. We must be courageous and say no, and do what we can to control their actions so that they're guided towards good correct behaviors.
Those events are gone. Never underestimate other people. I don't think that her husband hadn't tried everything that was in his power. It is possible that step with getting naked was a demand from his wife. I think, obeying her rules made her calm and peaceful. But her husband never stopped to search for qualified help.
For her it was a neurological problem, not just emotional. Therefore it was fixed with a physical stimulation. They also mentioned she had tried every kind of treatment there is.
Tiffastic Nguyen Gosh you are gorgeous Tiffastic Nguyen you wake up my Nucleus accumbens
Tiffastic Nguyen The only way to stop her would have been to tie her down, and that would have been more unpleasant for her than most. OCD is controllable but it is extremely difficult since it is also something that controls you in the first place.
G-Rex If I had to take extreme measures to keep myself and my family safe, then I will. Like tying down a cocaine addict to stop him from ruining and killing himself. Nobody said, "No". So she continued to get worst and worst, and her husband continued to strip himself naked to walk into his own house. Say no and get your loved ones help immediately.

Why wasnt this available for Robin Williams....
Robin Williams? how about the thousands and thousands with the same condition? or any other condition..
There are a helluva lot of other comedians who've taken their own lives, and even more rock stars. Lots of movie stars and TV stars too. Why pick on RW? Let him rest in peace.
Such a stupid question!! Robin Williams is not god and he probably doesnt give a single fuck about you Daniel or anyone else ! Think about the whole poor humanity before thinking about an single richass actor ! come on guys
***** Stop being stupid for your own well being. If you think Stars deserve better treatment than you or your family than its people like you that make this world utterly
stupid.
Mr. Driver has a point. However, moral/ethical considerations with regard to brain surgery vanish if a person has tremors so severe that the simplest tasks become hopelessly impossible. Such unfortunate souls exist and very little more. There is no quality of life. I personally consider the work these doctors are doing as little short of miraculous and, quite frankly, clearly superior to the only alternative at the moment: a drug-induced torpor.
It's funny. I was sure I had OCD. Then I remembered my childhood. First of five, always out in the dirt playing with the neighbourhod kids. I am now 64 years of age and my gall bladder has gone, most of my prostate too.... But I have had flu once in ten years and a few, yes, hangovers (headaches don't you know?). Guess I did DBS on my own at some point
I love how these mad scientists disregard the diet and go straight the knife,electricity and implanting metal in your brain(sarcasm)... What could go wrong? Or better yet what has gone wrong??
Wow. Cried twice during this. Amazing work. Human brains are truly fascinating
You guys are awesome and have a great minds..
Oh shit, we all knew it was gonna happen one day. Abusing this kind of technology would be something right out of a nightmare, and knowing militaries, this will be abused.
But there's also a bright side to it, for example it can obsolete crude methods, like torture, and the medical implications outweigh the moral risks in my opinion, as this video took good care of proving. Also since it at least for now still requires direct contact with the brain at great accuracy, nobody's gonna be able to use this technology against anyone who isn't laying down on an operating table.
The can use this technology to hurt a patient, so torture is not off the table. They are now using technology instead of fist to sabotage a person's life. They want us to be declared mentally insane, so they can implant medical devices and mind-control us. If they would just use it for good.....but the elite always use it to further enslaved humanity instead of healing us and giving us lasting freedom. What happens when someone hacks into this system & causes horrific emotional trauma, or they set us up in a crime. Our brains can literally be controlled remotely & that's scary!!!!! Law enforcement and government are already using this advanced technology, but it's far more advanced than this.
"To alleviate human suffering." Okay, now let's define suffering....
***** My point was the potential abuse. This technology is extremely dangerous.
***** I totally disagree with you. It disgusts me when people use examples like you just did to demonize "religion" because Islam is the only one who acts like that. The difference between Islam and Christianity is that the Koran directly supports the murder of unbelievers. Jesus gives you the right to reject Him and go on your way. You on the other hand have a egocentric false sense of intellectual superiority in which you think you are so enlightened like you figured out something special by claiming atheism. Im happy to let you know, though you will totally dismiss what I will say, there are followers of Jesus out there who are having actual supernatural contact with the Holy Spirit and experiencing Biblical manifestations of power. I used to be an atheist and I have to continually think back to where I came from but I always find myself dumbfounded at the massive ignorance of atheists. They think they are so smart but they dont ever seem to realize that you cannot experience or perceive something spiritual by using scholarly means. Its like trying to taste with your eyes, it doesn't work. Spiritual sense is something that has to be experienced to understand. It is like trying to explain sight to a blind person. I promise you that you have missed something. I would hope that you would be open minded and humble enough to give it a legitimate investigation but I suspect you have other underlying motivations to reject what I said. The fact is that evil men will always find some excuse to be evil and it doesnt matter if you eliminate religion or not. What the world needs is Christian values. The commandment of Jesus is that we love our neighbors as ourselves. If we all did that there would be a lot less problems. There is absolutely no arguing with that logic. To try would be to give away an ulterior motive.
I wont dismiss it if you will remember that it is the failure of people to live up to good standards and their unwillingness to try that makes them fall so miserably short. I understand some of your reasoning but I try to leave the judgement up to God and not condemn that which I cannot fully comprehend. This is more than I can say for the attitudes of others who claim to be Christians. That does not make them correct and it does not mean that God is unjust. You ask me if I am able to love my enemy. The answer is yes, in short fleeting moments I have accomplished this. It does not last as I am continually corrupted by anger, hatred and reoccurring unrepentant insult. It is not for us to be perfect but to strive for it. When I was an atheist, I had heard all the arguments and philosophies and I was very experienced in life without knowing God and I thought I had made sense of everything. I was wrong and I found that out the day I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. I can tell you that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and there is power in His name. I know it sounds cliche and the demon thing sounds like eccentric attention grabbing but the fact is that Jesus is quite real and so are demons. We come into contact with demons on a daily basis. It is only through His power that I am able to conquer things like anger and lust. Demons are quite present around us but we often do not see what we are not looking for. Hollywood has given us an idea of what demons are supposed to be and what the devil looks like and if it doesnt fit into that box then it must be hog wash, right? No, most of the time it doesnt happen that way. Satan is much more subtle. Would you think the greatest adversary that man will ever know would approach him from the front wearing a red jumpsuit and asking for their soul? Someone once said that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he doesnt exist. This is painfully true and heartbreaking. I wish I could articulate to you my incredible experiences and what I have come to know being truth the same as I know the sun warms the earth. I see though that it is something that others must learn for themselves and cannot be obtained through the speech of a stranger who holds little credibility. Good luck.
Justice Mars EXcellent response... I would love to hear your story
Justice Mars This technology provides people with the opportunity to live normal lives that you and I take for granted. Those suffering struggle to get out of bed in the morning, speak to their family, feed themselves and the worst part is that there are people like you that hold their religion and "morals" above those who need help. I don't give a shit about how you try to defend your religion, I don't care as it something that is your choice and if it makes you happy to bow down to a God who has in your eyes created this World then fine. You are also of course bowing down, praising and thanking the God who, by your reasoning, caused the suffering of the people in this video. The boy who couldn't control his muscles... according to your religion God creating a world where that is an occurrence. And you thank him and pray to him?! Meanwhile you criticise a technology that is helping them. Nice ideology you have there! Thank the God that created such awful suffering and condemn those who are helping those who are... ***** agree totally that the virus religion is one of the greatest dangers humanity faces!
What an amazing talk - these guys are brilliant.
This sounds really good. I hope these guys keep going with this work and keep progressing. A lot of these people in the youtube comments think that "There is no need to insert something... Program yourself to re-wire your brain." That is the dumbest thing I've heard. How do you expect someone with dystonia to "re-wire" their brain.
Some very silly comments making look some sound foolish. My wife has Dystonia, it advanced and progressed rapidly in 2013 and thanks to DBS surgery she continues to improve. Very happy with our neurosurgeon and neurologist at Swedish Medical Center in Denver.
One doesn't need doctors, or surgeons -- I resolved so far my headache and psychological stress by magnetic fields -- OK, (it's not straight forward magnet, I'm still experimenting, and I'm not a physician, so i'm telling no more till i got to understand what I did) -- Funny enough, i thought my brain problem were because of Radio Frequencies. I initially aimed to a strainer Wi-Fi antennas, because of my extra-sensory perceptions. At first my my eyes doubled up, I couldn't read my laptop screen, and took a break thinking what I had done, then half an hour later my brain reorganized my view, and I have a high definition view now, but my heart went berserk -- that was no good. So I shifted my so to say broche to the back of my neck and i'm wearing it there day and night, intended on testing through the summer for twelve months.
Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback, sLoreta feedback, fMRI neurofeedback) can have as much an impact on neurological disorders as DBS without the surgical risks. Neurofeedback can also lessens the need for some medications and also decrease their side effects.
this science was broached in psycho-cybernetics written 40 years ago. Its refreshing that basically -microprecessors- have opened up the doors for real life "mind-machine" interface technology.
very impressive , but the sad part is,, they would rather spend billions to cure all this problems we get, instead of spending billions to prevent the problem causing all this problems in our brains, like all the chemicals we get fed daily.
The brain is so magnificent makes you want to study more about it. I need a serious 'Brain studying Group'!
Billie Edwards create the group and add me. I am interested.
SAME!!
I'm all in
I'm game. I know quite a bit about the limbic system and neuroplasticity.
All makes great sense! I would like to add this ((( we were created by a wonderful intelligent God called Jesus ! He programmed us from the beginning with wonderful basic knowledge so we can search after him ) and this is what we see as a result of his love! These men helping and searching what God has created and finding answers ! God is good!
I can't believe this video's been uploaded for a year and has this little amount of views...
I am afraid that in the near future, people will have their thoughts and feelings controlled by made-made electric signals just like in MATRIX movie. When that time comes, say bye bye to reality.
+Bonaventure Biko It's not like you have to worry....if you are on the other side of said experiment you won't even realise what's happening to you.
or we can meet keep using chemical pharmaceuticals and cover up the problem without solving the broken neural system
I used to never believe in MK-Ultra........ used.
+Flappy Feet which is very reassuring, right?
WHY AREN"T WE FUNDING THIS???
@Maureen O'Brien 6 YEAR OLD COMMENT
RELEASE ME
There is a large support group on Facebook for those who have received DBS for OCD. This procedure has saved so many lives. People who were so stricken with debilitating OCD that they could not leave their house, hold a job, open a door, on and on, are now able to live a more normal life. And often an unexpected side benefit was that their major depression was lessened or cured. This team in the video is sometimes mentioned with gratitude and love. These men are miracle workers that can never be repaid by their patient's families.
I can listen to these guys talk all day
An amazing use of technology. Gives me goosebumps every time I think about it! These guys are heros in my book.
I've had neurofeedback therapy, I thought I would never be able to get this smart, focussed and communicative as I am today.
Can you tell me where you had that therapy
And what was your problem
And how many sessions you needed
Indeed, please provide more details, Sacha.
bebo bebo
I live in the Netherlands, but it's not just in my country only. I've had problems with concentration and my head was one big slow chaos. I couldn't process information quick enough but it's not just for these problems but other things as well, I'm not sure what exactly but you can search for yourself. It can actually improve your abilities.
Even if its only a placebo effect, I want neurofeedback therapy!!
Scary.
Man these guys are using the brain god gave them
I love this talk. The problem with so many talks that TED has had lately is that the speakers were invited because they are good and "inspiring" speakers... not because they actually did anything, or have anything to say. These guys are having trouble connecting with the audience, telling jokes that fall flat, and coming across as generally awkward. And sure enough... they did something awesome. More of these, please.
Tampering with the brain has moral, spiritual and physical implications that we do not fully understand. I agree these are incredible applications to this technology but it could cause long term problems that they are not aware of yet. In my opinion only in extreme cases, like these, should it be used and these patients monitored for adverse and ancillary reactions to the procedure. Only cases where the reward can out weigh the risk does it make sense now.
Your not the moral police, no one believes in spirits, the physical science that backs these theories that allow them to work, ARE the physical implications and after witnessing, the physical evidence. your statement is all cliché
Daniel Pettus i think most of the world's population believes in spirits. 2 billion Christians, 1 billion Muslims, almost a billion hindus and millions of every other religion... but oh well not everyone can be smart
Daniel Pettus *You're.
why do i care that you're an atheist?
Why are you assuming I can read minds?
If my brain is a super computer why the hell can t i calculate 487586 x 234624 in a second like my pc calculator does ? lmao FAKE
Mihai Blaze It actually can, you just don't know how to tap into it.
A few people do, however. Autistic savants.
Mihai Blaze You can with enough practice. Think of it like constantly updating a software in your brain.
^ Not about practice. The following article is titled "From mullet to math genius after concussion".
nypost.com/2014/04/20/how-a-brain-injury-turned-a-college-dropout-into-a-genius/
Mihai Blaze Same reason as your computer can't do the dishes or cook dinner.
+Mihai Blaze Your understanding of what it means to "compute" is worryingly superficial. Perhaps you should avoid commenting on the subject.
Amazing talk!
Not to be a downer but it somehow leads me to an uncomfortable thought - what would happen if things went wrong in the slightest.
These men clearly have such a hard, high-risk job.
The part at 10:50 disturbs me. Something about that isn't right. It reminds me of the Animatrix where the robots experimented on the humans. It was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. It's like people are just stripped of all dignity and just reduced to bags of meat. It's horrific.
But after all she's having fun and with the same technology that's causing the laughter she is getting cured of her disease.
luminol
Yea, I get the benefits and I get that it isn't done with some kind of malicious intent, but something about it just doesn't sit right with me at all. It really freaks me out that someone could tamper with a brain and _make_ you feel and behave a certain way. It's mind control.
poppin reality charry? you know if your down use better words, beutiful powerfull extraordinary meat machines of glory. That though evolutionary smithing, climbed to the top of the food chain and conquered the world.
Borisimo90
. . .
Steven Bowser What is maybe more interesting is why it is so disturbing. Most likely because it is like realising you are a puppet and the master at the same time.
That's amazing, gives some tons of hope to our future!
They wired my brain to make me more Humble, it worked, now I'm the most humble person in the whole world !!!!!
and who controls we that controls the brain, and who controls the controllers etc...
Ethics
it's all a dream...you are (also) right!
I know it's a "stupid" argument in doctor's eyes, but what of the placebo effect? If a patient believed that they had an electrode and their brain was getting fixed, would it repair itself? If so, it's not profitable for doctors, but it would lend further credence to the power of our own thoughts and belief and ability to fix ourselves.
But some ppl can already control our brains..
They could make us happy, they could make us sad.
And we could do nothing about it :)
But 2 b honest, I wish 2 see the day when these technology is used on a larger scale within authentic standards. Ppl are getting more and more miserable and it's our duty 2 alleviate that misery. Thnx docs :)
Their work is interesting but the brain is clearly not like a computer, and neurons have not only two states. There are growing results showing that the brain is a complex system composed of different networks where non-linear phenomena are taking place.
I still didn't get it very well, these guys really made the boy walk just by stimulating a specific region of the brain? this is unbelievable.
I can't imagine they are serious. This got to be some kind of april's fool. If they are serious then someone should stop them immediately or else this is going to be the first step to real human mind control.
So you would prefer that people suffer unnecessarily?
There already is brain control for test specimen (rats). Supposedly they can implant memories already, kind of like Neo learning Kung-Fu on The Matrix.
Source: National Geographic show as told by a well-known doctor.
Scary right?
wow i am shocked how this was published 3 years ago and yet this is still not widely known as this could help a lot of people
Remarkable.
Jay, Great talk and analysis of our current divide and malaise. I think you have captured the essence of our problems and presented a practical and doable approach to solving the poisonous divide among the right and the left. Kudos to you.
they are gods and with this technology they will transvaluate me in a god to, get smarter with deep brain stimulation every god damn morning !
one of my favorites talk
you are amazing, GOD BLESS YOU ..
Tell that to the first beings used in developing these implants.
I have a feeling they won't share your sentiment.
Anyone else thinks the taller guy sounds like the protagonist from The Fight Club?
WOW! That blew my mind! Powerful technology indeed! I can only imagine the future of neuronal modulation! :))
WTF?!! What about you modulating you brain trough thinking and self analyse yourself as a regular bases and ultimately accesing to neuronal modulation if needed?
Like having a massage cicle, there should be an electrical stimulaton circle. A programmer programming a programmer programming a programmer.
Hope this technology works for tinnitus. Please!
for tinnitus i think you can get a device implanted into your ear which emits soundwaves that cancel out the ringing that you experience...
Give these men noble prizes
Tony Jarrett you won't hear the world talking or shouting about this but yet they shout about stuff that's of no benefit these guys are heroes
exactly
It really is inspiring and terrifying yet beautiful all at the same time! As disocrates said, really powerful and great work!
Holy Shiite.
So now I know exactly what is up.
You, those that have put this in, have just shown this to me.
Sure I sound crazy. As crazy as the proof you show.
…This is only the beginning.
…Champion.
…What is next?
or you could just meditate...
+EpicBunty yeah right
These kind of interventions forego the fact that a lot of these problems are the result of degenerative lifestyles. The underlying problem gets ignored and that's that the way we live nowadays isn't natural for us. I'm not denying that the results are amazing and relieving, but they consist of hijacking the nervous system instead of healing it. Mark my words that people will ignore their lifestyles and take a quick fix over real change any day. The unassuming public won't even think about the possibilities that come with allowing a regime to intrude into your nervous system. We're rushing headfirst into a technocratic dystopia and most don't even realize it.
I've seen people hurt by MS. It's horrible. This is exciting techology. On the same token, anyone disturbed by potential misuse is certainly justified.
So a brain disease isn’t diagnosed by structural issues but behavior. Their cure is implanting an electrode into the brain, applying electricity to the functional circuit that is misfiring, and correcting dysfunction via deep brain stimulation. This is a miracle for the woman and the boy who lack muscle control over their bodies. It is also a miracle for the woman who lacks mood control over her brain. However, I find this technology a double-edged sword. I empathize with the patient’s anguish. I’m also concerned how this technology could be used in the future. For example, nothing would disrupt society more - for better or worse - than if brain electrodes became commercially available and mood control was simply the touch of a button on a user’s Apple Watch. Hence, this technology is a power player to watch.
I can tell you it wasn’t fun when my steering wheel was jerked. And we rolled three times… bad guys.
Are you the good guys? Asking for a friend on May 21,2022.
Wow, the potential is incredible, the ethics of it...very complicated. I fear that the power of this will be controlled by those with the most money and their agenda may not be what is best for all of us. Fantastic research, it could change the world
Your technology is amazing. Your intention, I think, is to help patients, but these days the same technology is used to change normal persons into the disabled. Most people do not know how their brain circuit works, how the lazer affects their brain, and the development of brain technology, so they try to find the reason in other places. I also had implanted neuronal electrical node in my brain. In fact, I didn't. I am just a victim. I hope you let people know the danger. The world that has technology has killed people and in many cases, they die even without knowing the reason.
Dois gênios. SENSACIONAL!!!
Amazing !!
Morally maybe, physically of course but Spirituality shouldn't even be brought into this and even if some don't believe it, there are people with God given gifts that are in this world to contribute them to humanity. How many people out there are going to take exception to the cure for cancer if it happens to come from a controversial procedure? As for those who are atheists I pose this question; You have a 50/50 chance on whether or not there is a God, If at the end of your life you find that you are wrong, what can you possibly say when your standing before God on the day of your reckoning?
Could this treatment be beneficial to stroke patients? Very interesting ..thank you!
No, not yet. That might be possible at some point. Major strokes don't result in misfiring brain circuits, which is really what DBS is about - modulating dysfunctioning brain circuits.
Thanks :) appreciate the response.
It would be a truly amazing day.
you need to do brain rehabilitation therapy for stroke and brain trauma victims
Yes, but recovery is very limited, and very timely.
Interesting but has it gone unnoticed that numbers like 100 billion and 100 trillion are used to describe enormous amounts of whatever, as in this presentation. When scientists and others are not sure about amounts they usually throw the number one around with various amounts of zeroes after that. Every week on some subject or another this numerical figure of one followed by 6,7,8,9 or more zeroes is used to explain a dubious numerical quantity.
I respect the TED concept and its purpose, but after watching maybe over 30 talks (some of them multiple times) it feels as if I watch the same video over and over again, and then you forget you actually have to go do something productive with your life.
And thanks to the Medical Industrial Complex, this will be available only to the rich and connected for, perhaps, decades or more.
I'm sure the military is now working on making super soldiers!
Controlling the brain to make stronger bones and muscles, superior senses, and loyal puppets soldiers!
what about people you can use electronics waves microwavs to control brain of innocent people to destroy them with a remote neural monitoring . What kind of sorcery is. Ask the victims to talk out about their story. It's pretty scaring
what if i told you, your brain structure governs the same, and our everyday cunsumtions, endulgence, we alter our structure, slowly.
