when I saw him talking to the 5 year old, I was like "ugh he does the thing where he leans wayyyy down to talk to kids" and then by the end of the video I'm like "lol no that's just the way he sits in a chair lmao"
........would think most taller things would lean closer to what they are interacting with because of natural reasons. Be like reading a book full arms length away...........
Imagine if this mapping were able to identify more accurate diagnoses for mental health and neurological disorders, and then find a way to trigger the neurons in the real brain to heal those pathways or simulate different medications to find the correct dosage for each individual/identify side effects without ever having to make the client endure that process of trial and error. That would be fantastic.
In the future, it would definitely be possible to map the neural connections, but you lack all the other connective (glial) cells, cerebrospinal fluid, plasticity or automated in-and outputs to accurately copy a brain. A copied brain would represent you, at that specific point in time, without any flexibility or possibility for change. In order to use these brains for accurate simulation for therapies for neurological and psychiatric disorders, you really need the brain to adapt and change for the better. You need to be able to form new connections, inactivate old ones. That's something a connectome in itself won't really help with. But it is definitely a start and I agree the prospect of this possibility is amazing. However far it is.
ASVP STEWIE I love how at the higher levels the guest starts asking him the questions and makes him question his understanding on how connectomics works and can be used. Also comparing it to a hurricane simulator and wetness was just A+
It amazes me how the 5 year old is so small and adorable yet as he grows older, he will have the potential to gain as much knowledge as the expert. Our brains truly are remarkable
Usually little kids remember words, but not always what those words mean. I mean, most 2nd graders probably know the term "photosynthesis" and know it has to do with plants, but probably don't know how it works (or how to spell it XD)

I was kind of disappointed at the grad student. Her understanding seemed a little too basic for someone in grad school. But then I don't know anything about her academic career so any curiosity about her is null.
fabnsass I was thinking that! This was a huge topic in my philosophy course, and I think a philosophical approach to this question would be even more interesting than a scientific response.
Watching his body language throughout the video was so interesting. I love listening to this man talk, he's very passionate and looks genuinely interested in what everyone was saying.
isn't that logical? The scientist is on lvl 5, so the more the other person knows, the less he would have to explain and instead they can talk on the same *level*
The eye doctor said that they’ve never seen someone with dirtier glasses than me. Before that made me feel very bad but now I realize it’s just my genius.
Troy Bakeman who is saying is super deep? It’s only entertaining, a nice way to learn about what’s going on around the globe, and who knows? Maybe after watching this video someone will study neuroscience. This is way more useful that reaction videos anyway.
OMG I noticed that too! Computers are "binary" and humans aren't. I'm not certain she knew what binary even meant. Obviously she's not a computer science major.
The Noitall I'm sure she understood what binary is. But she lacks knowledge of how a brain works. I know what binary is, but that talk got me thinking a lot about the answer, before he revealed it. Don't be so quick to judge.
I think level 6 would be explaining it to someone more intelligent than himself. To which, I would ask him, if I made a computer simulation of only your car's engine electrical system would I be able to accurately simulate driving it?
This is a great example of being open to learning new information and new ideas. Wisdom is knowing that there's a lot of information that you don't know. Being an "expert" doesn't mean that you should pretend to know everything, or insist on your believes out of fear of hurting your ego by admitting that you don't know something
as a medical science student that has a specific interest in neuroscience, i want to a have a conversation with this man about the brain. he seems so inviting good at explaining things in non medical terms which i sometimes need
5:30 The hurricane analogy he uses here is paraphrased from an interesting essay called "Coffeehouse Conversation" by cognitive scientist Douglas Hofstadter from his book The Mind's I. I'd recommend it if you're interested in the ideas that were briefly mentioned here about computational models and the capacity for an exact, and fully operative, replication of the human brain. It's very readable, and spells out the important distinction, which I think is very relevant here, between a *simulation*, like the Connectome, which requires only a system which is functionally equivalent to the human brain, and *replication*, which necessitates an identical structural representation, which would involve the replication of the human brain's organic compositional properties.
Not necessarily. I mean, if you could simulate the outcomes of organic processes to a good enough accuracy, even lacking the representation of molecules, the simulation could develop a consciousness. This, pressupossing that consciousness couldn't emerge at an even higher level of (dynamic) intercorrelation between structures, which is not a given at all. Meaning, it could be that consciousness actually requires way less stuff that is in a brain and a way less precise simulation that what the Connectome can provide.
Batrax I love both of these comments. Thanks for articulating your thoughts so well. Also huge thanks to those who devote themselves to one area of knowledge so I can pick up the crumbs you leave behind while conversing and I can make my own cake mixed with all the flavors.
Batrax I imagine one day in the future we will be able to prove a sufficiently powerful enough computer is conscious, and even sentient if we give it a body with senses. I must stress however these thinking machines will not be human, they can be considered alive if that's what you like, but the nature of their first person experience will be completely alien to ours. We are not just the information of our neural connections. The DNA contained in every living cell of our bodies is intimately connected with our consciousness. DNA contains another kind of memory, the genetic history of an evolutionary struggle for life that spans back for billions of years to the first living cells. We think our behavior is informed and rational and explain our actions in detail to others in retrospect, but really our decisions in life are driven by the most basic instincts to mate and eat. A computer is just not human.
bad boi The book explains what the difference is between a computer pretending to be a brain and a computer actually being a brain (also the book is supposedly easy to understand, which I guess is subjective but w/e).
@James MH I know right, well they have all or nothing but they have different frequencies at which they fire so can change the way and consistency at which a signal is sent.
@James MH the intensity of an impulse is determined by the frequency of depolarisation and repolarisation. Which can be represented in binary as it is a matter of how many 0s or 1s are present in a signal. The duration is not a factor here as the net result is whether there was an impulse or not.

“If the parts are the same, the whole is the same.” This is not true, think of polygons, if the parts are the same, they can still differ. But if you map everything perfectly, simulate it all perfectly, I think you could have something that is like yourself. But you also have to admit that our brain is intimately connected with our body. Slight changes in our body produce big changes in our brain. And we also have to say that some of it is inherently random, as most biological processes are. Technically all processes could be considered random if you think of them as the sum total of quantum mechanics interactions. Consciousness may very well be indescribable, maybe. But can’t science learn it all? After all, that is the basic assumption, that most things can be understood. If things can be understood, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say they can be simulated.
PanicHappy the step after that is someone who studies said subject and since most people haven't studied neuroscience, they have to dumb it down so people understand. You'll be able to find books and TV shows that talk at the level you want, but they won't be very mainstream
This is how things should be taught, haha. Cumulatively break it down down on different levels as to create a more uniform type of learning. This is great!
this is technically how we all learn via grade school, except every layer is taught every semester/year(depending on your education system). Our k-12 can be visually represented as the inner workings of block chain code,1) every block/box(year) gets filled with information 2) the information is validated and tested(mid-terms) for accuracy/truth (finals)3) the block/box is complete, sealing itself(understanding achieved) 4) the process repeats itself year after year, block after block, and every new block contains information of the previous block, without the previous block(algebra) the new block(algebra2) would not make sense. our education system is concerted but the time in between blocks is too long, humans are not computers with perfect memory, therefore to maintain and progress the burden is laid on the individual during our extended breaks.
The brain is like pizza. Pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni slices are connected to other slices through the cheese. Now imagine these pepperoni slices can think. And they can also talk to each other through the cheese. Now... Imagine that pizza is your brain Joey. All that you think and feel and want is in that pizza Joey. Eat the pizza Joey, eat the pizza.

@@52hello25 Id only call it passive aggressive if the "huh" came out as a small giggle, while the way he says it here is as if he wants the people talking to explain their idea further.
I don't understand the problem people seem to have with the College Student. There's _no_ question that the neuroscientist is the most well versed person in that room, he's explaining something he's spend years studying. All the recipients were conversing with him in their own capacity, coming from whatever _they know_ on the subject. *Isn't that the whole point of conversation & this experiment?* to see how these different people, at different levels, understand the matter at hand. You cannot be curious about a subject, or have any capacitance to learn about it, if you do not have any semblance of preliminary understanding about it. How do we as laypeople attain this understanding? What even is "understanding" ? Understanding is joining the dots, That is *_making connections._* Which is what they were all doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it's funny cuz as the "levels" got higher, I realised I understood less and less as more jargon specific to neuroscience was used. Like when get for to the fellow expert, it almost felt as though they were speaking another language entirely. I enjoyed watching!
Same, and even then I didn't get to see a living cell before high school, after that it blew my mind. I think if students are shown what they're learning through an actual microscope sooner rather than in a textbook early on it will make what is a somewhat abstract thought at the time much easier to click.

There are plenty of other ways to communicate disagreements about facts than through making the other person feel inferior, which is both irrelevant and unnecessary. And not particularly kind but rather quite mean, how would it have been if he did it without that attitude. This is how people reinforce the use of such behavior through supporting the suppressor and ridiculing the person who is being unnecessarily suppressed. More or less supporting narcissistic traits in people 🤦♀️ the more learned you are, the more patience and courage should you have to meet with people who don't see things as you do, especially if you see them as inferior to yourself
Julia Liu She was neuroscience grad student. Not only should she have been at least fairly familiar with the term, she should have been able to hold a fairly in depth conversation with him on the subject. Instead she was literally as clueless as the average college student.
@@Julia-iy5oh I don't think think he was being that negative. The "huh" was engaged and responsive.

Not really. It is just like a typical of student you can find anywhere. Usually the prof would listen but since he is airing and time is very limited that is why he stops her.
I feel like the fatal flaw of a connectome is that it doesn't take into account of neuroplasticity which is a major part of brain function. Just my opinion as a medstudent.
@@Qrowzzy Not sure if you still care, but I decided to give it a go: Neuroplasticity is, at its base level, the ability of the brain to change. Doing something a lot strengthens the connections in the brain, meaning that your brain literally gets better at doing the thing. Similarly, your brain will “prune” connections that aren’t being used because there’s no reason to keep those connections strong. Neuroplasticity is stronger in children and weakens as we age, so that’s why it’s easier for a child to learn something than an adult. It’s also why a lot of the professionals in a field (say, chess or music) started when they were very young-their brains were very flexible and were able to make incredibly strong connections to the parts necessary to play chess or an instrument. It’s relevant to this video because even if you could create a perfect map of a human brain in a computer, it would only be the map of the brain at that one instance in time, and wouldn’t be able to change like our real brains would. I hope that all makes sense.
@@ayj1085 Fellow neuroscience student here, I thought that'd be interesting to say that there was this case of a woman born without a cerebellum, but the neuroplasticity allowed other parts of the brain take over the functions that the cerebellum would typically do, so this woman led a relatively normal life. Pretty neat how the brain can adapt to different stuff!
Juan Garay well I'm pretty sure they would develop a system of sending things to simulate the senses and see how the brain would react and see what the differences and simalaraties between other people are
Chaotic Order great point, inputs is like a crank keeping the brain going. with no inputs, seems to me it would either run in circles, or wind down to a halt

Grad student seems to have a point, the "gut brain", the heart, and spinal cord, seem to have a major impact on our brain function and thought processes as well.
Exactly, and you can't really simulate that outside of a human body. You also lack glial cells, cerebrospinal fluid and plasticity, which just leaves a brain that can't learn or change. So it would be able to think like you, but it wouldn't be able to store info or process new info.
@@Ennello theoretically you COULD simulate that along with regular randomized and systematic external stimuli enough to replicate a human life to a degree of certainty that most people would be satisfied with as labeling it a "human" . This gets into synthetic human territory. Which is becoming more and more of a reality everyday.

Imagine if this mapping were able to identify more accurate diagnoses for mental health and neurological disorders, and then find a way to trigger the neurons in the real brain to heal those pathways or simulate different medications to find the correct dosage for each individual/identify side effects without ever having to make the client endure that process of trial and error. That would be fantastic.
Can you imagine how much applicable data we will inquire as we map a brain?!
In the future, it would definitely be possible to map the neural connections, but you lack all the other connective (glial) cells, cerebrospinal fluid, plasticity or automated in-and outputs to accurately copy a brain. A copied brain would represent you, at that specific point in time, without any flexibility or possibility for change. In order to use these brains for accurate simulation for therapies for neurological and psychiatric disorders, you really need the brain to adapt and change for the better. You need to be able to form new connections, inactivate old ones. That's something a connectome in itself won't really help with.
But it is definitely a start and I agree the prospect of this possibility is amazing. However far it is.
Yesss! As someone with adhd,HSP,HP,anxiety and eating disorders that would be fantastic
yeah i was thinking about those possibilities
That's what's being done. Neuralink can essentially stop seizure activity by firing a counter pulse before an epileptic event occurs.

ASVP STEWIE underrated comment. this is basically how all higher education works.
ASVP STEWIE I love how at the higher levels the guest starts asking him the questions and makes him question his understanding on how connectomics works and can be used. Also comparing it to a hurricane simulator and wetness was just A+
ASVP STEWIE the point of the video. I'm assuming so?
I think that's the goal of learning - you recieve knowledge and then you think for yourself.
You know you're knowledgeable in a subject, when you can explain it to anyone.
Albert Einstein once said ; " If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. "
Of course he can explain it to anyone, he is a neuroscience professor, lol.

as a medical science student that has a specific interest in neuroscience, i want to a have a conversation with this man about the brain. he seems so inviting good at explaining things in non medical terms which i sometimes need
5:30 The hurricane analogy he uses here is paraphrased from an interesting essay called "Coffeehouse Conversation" by cognitive scientist Douglas Hofstadter from his book The Mind's I. I'd recommend it if you're interested in the ideas that were briefly mentioned here about computational models and the capacity for an exact, and fully operative, replication of the human brain. It's very readable, and spells out the important distinction, which I think is very relevant here, between a *simulation*, like the Connectome, which requires only a system which is functionally equivalent to the human brain, and *replication*, which necessitates an identical structural representation, which would involve the replication of the human brain's organic compositional properties.
Not necessarily. I mean, if you could simulate the outcomes of organic processes to a good enough accuracy, even lacking the representation of molecules, the simulation could develop a consciousness. This, pressupossing that consciousness couldn't emerge at an even higher level of (dynamic) intercorrelation between structures, which is not a given at all.
Meaning, it could be that consciousness actually requires way less stuff that is in a brain and a way less precise simulation that what the Connectome can provide.
Batrax I love both of these comments. Thanks for articulating your thoughts so well. Also huge thanks to those who devote themselves to one area of knowledge so I can pick up the crumbs you leave behind while conversing and I can make my own cake mixed with all the flavors.
Batrax I imagine one day in the future we will be able to prove a sufficiently powerful enough computer is conscious, and even sentient if we give it a body with senses. I must stress however these thinking machines will not be human, they can be considered alive if that's what you like, but the nature of their first person experience will be completely alien to ours. We are not just the information of our neural connections. The DNA contained in every living cell of our bodies is intimately connected with our consciousness. DNA contains another kind of memory, the genetic history of an evolutionary struggle for life that spans back for billions of years to the first living cells. We think our behavior is informed and rational and explain our actions in detail to others in retrospect, but really our decisions in life are driven by the most basic instincts to mate and eat. A computer is just not human.

@James MH I know right, well they have all or nothing but they have different frequencies at which they fire so can change the way and consistency at which a signal is sent.
@James MH the intensity of an impulse is determined by the frequency of depolarisation and repolarisation. Which can be represented in binary as it is a matter of how many 0s or 1s are present in a signal. The duration is not a factor here as the net result is whether there was an impulse or not.

Grad student already understands the mechanism and stuff, what else would they talk about
I like how as we went through the levels not only did the conversation get more in depth but there were more questions asked as well
Neuroscientist: “Would a simulated brain be the same as a real brain?”
People: “No, because...”
Neuroscientist: “Wrong.”
Real brain: Dopamine!
Isnt this what we would try to discover by mapping out the brain? Anyway reminds me of the movie Chappie.
@@michaeldamolsen Simulated brain: "class brain {int dopamine=0; int serotonin=0;}"
"Wrong," said the neuroscientist, incorrectly, while stating something objectively false
“If the parts are the same, the whole is the same.”
This is not true, think of polygons, if the parts are the same, they can still differ. But if you map everything perfectly, simulate it all perfectly, I think you could have something that is like yourself. But you also have to admit that our brain is intimately connected with our body. Slight changes in our body produce big changes in our brain. And we also have to say that some of it is inherently random, as most biological processes are. Technically all processes could be considered random if you think of them as the sum total of quantum mechanics interactions.
Consciousness may very well be indescribable, maybe. But can’t science learn it all? After all, that is the basic assumption, that most things can be understood. If things can be understood, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say they can be simulated.
As a fan of science-fiction, it's frustrating most media only gets to about the level of that 13 year old.
PanicHappy I hear you, good point.
PanicHappy the step after that is someone who studies said subject and since most people haven't studied neuroscience, they have to dumb it down so people understand. You'll be able to find books and TV shows that talk at the level you want, but they won't be very mainstream

This is how things should be taught, haha. Cumulatively break it down down on different levels as to create a more uniform type of learning. This is great!
Yes, it's sad taht this way of teaching is only used in grade schools. It's how every person regardless of age should learn something.
Not uniform, but gradient.
The actual instructional term is scaffolding.
this is technically how we all learn via grade school, except every layer is taught every semester/year(depending on your education system). Our k-12 can be visually represented as the inner workings of block chain code,1) every block/box(year) gets filled with information 2) the information is validated and tested(mid-terms) for accuracy/truth (finals)3) the block/box is complete, sealing itself(understanding achieved) 4) the process repeats itself year after year, block after block, and every new block contains information of the previous block, without the previous block(algebra) the new block(algebra2) would not make sense.
our education system is concerted but the time in between blocks is too long, humans are not computers with perfect memory, therefore to maintain and progress the burden is laid on the individual during our extended breaks.

You cannot be curious about a subject, or have any capacitance to learn about it, if you do not have any semblance of preliminary understanding about it. How do we as laypeople attain this understanding? What even is "understanding" ? Understanding is joining the dots, That is *_making connections._* Which is what they were all doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same, and even then I didn't get to see a living cell before high school, after that it blew my mind.

I feel like the fatal flaw of a connectome is that it doesn't take into account of neuroplasticity which is a major part of brain function. Just my opinion as a medstudent.
I thought the same thing! I had to search for this comment.
Can you explain neuroplasticity like I'm 5?
@@Qrowzzy Not sure if you still care, but I decided to give it a go:
Neuroplasticity is, at its base level, the ability of the brain to change. Doing something a lot strengthens the connections in the brain, meaning that your brain literally gets better at doing the thing. Similarly, your brain will “prune” connections that aren’t being used because there’s no reason to keep those connections strong. Neuroplasticity is stronger in children and weakens as we age, so that’s why it’s easier for a child to learn something than an adult. It’s also why a lot of the professionals in a field (say, chess or music) started when they were very young-their brains were very flexible and were able to make incredibly strong connections to the parts necessary to play chess or an instrument. It’s relevant to this video because even if you could create a perfect map of a human brain in a computer, it would only be the map of the brain at that one instance in time, and wouldn’t be able to change like our real brains would. I hope that all makes sense.
@@ayj1085 Fellow neuroscience student here, I thought that'd be interesting to say that there was this case of a woman born without a cerebellum, but the neuroplasticity allowed other parts of the brain take over the functions that the cerebellum would typically do, so this woman led a relatively normal life. Pretty neat how the brain can adapt to different stuff!
@@Qrowzzy I understand it's the ability of our brain to learn new things, I read it reduces after you hit 25 or so.
Lvl 1-4 : being asked questions
Lvl 5 : Asking Neuro and observing him lol
Lol true
😂😂
Lol thats why hes a business guy
If you simulated a brain at any given instant inside a computer the brain's first reaction would be WHY THE HECK AM I NOT SENSING ANYTHING AT ALL
Juan Garay well I'm pretty sure they would develop a system of sending things to simulate the senses and see how the brain would react and see what the differences and simalaraties between other people are
Juan Garay CONSTANT SCREAMING
Chaotic Order great point, inputs is like a crank keeping the brain going. with no inputs, seems to me it would either run in circles, or wind down to a halt
Juan Garay it would just be the brain reliving the memories of the brain it was copied and pasted off of.
Vadim Kochergin but how could you simulate everything perfectly? Like WHY DO MY TEETH FEEL SO WEIRD
Great episode! Can you do more videos but with other professions like electrical engineering, medicine, physics etc..?
I was thinking the same thing. It would be really interesting.
If they're as awesome as him I would love it haha

Thanks :)

I am a prospective neuroscience student that has fibromyalgia, a nervous and autoimmune disorder. I would love to see this concept in motion with a “normal” brain versus a fibromyalgia brain to see if patterns and responses are different.
I want a linguist to explain a concept to different levels!
aufa joe I thought that’s what the point of this was, more or less, but I guess it’s a whole topical series.
Dasa Auto well... yea but I’m requesting a linguist to participate in it as well
Noam Chomsky would be great for this.
@@aufajohan9528 Now you're stretching
@@standowner6979 Agreed. Chomsky was big in theoretical syntax and to a lesser extent theoretical phonology, but there was a LOT of linguistics happening before Chomsky and there are many branches of linguistics that he never touched.
Everyone talking about about his "huh"s it's just his way of saying "yeah" or "sure." It's more like uh huh.
Different people have their own speech patterns
Huh
Huh?
Huh
huhh
Gregory Ford i agree with you totally. He’s thinking, gathering, understanding. People cant get over it. Weird.
Someone had a similar conversation with me when I was small, and next semester ill start applying to my dream PhD programs in Clincal Psychology and Neuroscience. 🥰 I love this.
I hope that’s going well for you. I’m inspired
@@vidhiwaghadiya3995 the PhD is something you only do after a master's degree
Congratulations! What course did you study?
the effects of our nurture :) now THAT is psychology/neuroscience encapsulated
I like how you can watch him get more comfortable as each level goes up
Him: do you know that our bodies are made up of really tiny things called cells ?
Me : nope he's just a 5 year old
The kid : yes I know that
Me : 😳
Pretty sure he didn't know he just "heard" the word before.
lmaoo that was literally me
That's what happens when you have conversations with kids like they are worthy of truth and reality.
I only knew about cells when I was 13 ? D:
@@leyan5558 whaaaattt??? we were taught about it when we were 8 (3rd grade)
Level 7: explains to a talking rock while on LSD
Lol
The best one
Omg 😂😂😂😂
Or explains to God his understanding *so far*
Grad student seems to have a point, the "gut brain", the heart, and spinal cord, seem to have a major impact on our brain function and thought processes as well.
Exactly, and you can't really simulate that outside of a human body. You also lack glial cells, cerebrospinal fluid and plasticity, which just leaves a brain that can't learn or change. So it would be able to think like you, but it wouldn't be able to store info or process new info.
@@Ennello theoretically you COULD simulate that along with regular randomized and systematic external stimuli enough to replicate a human life to a degree of certainty that most people would be satisfied with as labeling it a "human" . This gets into synthetic human territory. Which is becoming more and more of a reality everyday.
they don't. the only way they could affect the thought process is through hormones. which aren't going to necessarily change who you actually are
Hey if you ever want a highly intelligent person to explain something to 6 levels of difficulty (6th being an idiot) I am totally up to be the 6th difficulty.
