I tend to favor subjects related to the cosmos or metaphysics, the mysterious past or possible futures. But this episode, on the first pass at least, is my favorite of yours thus far. And your concluding statement hints at more on this subject to come and I look forward to it. Thanks for your hard work. I think this channel and "the Portal" together dominate my current neuroplasticity. =)
I am a psychiatrist and, without intending to oppose the excellent quality of the knowledge exposed in this channel, I allow myself to inquire about the average number of neurons in the human brain. The information I have is about 85 billion on average.
I am not bothering to agree or disagree. the show is great and I enjoy it for that. thank you Mr. Kuhn. hat is off to you. P.S. these folk are just guessing. when you take out spirit all is lost.
The brain works much like any complex system. The "mystery" of the radio, television, the automobile, the smart watch, ... . A commonality is complexity emerging from simplicity. Given the right elementary parts and arranged together in just the right way, and provided with the right energy, and presto, you have a system that is greater than the sum of the parts. Such is the brain.
After the mind scientifically interprets information from the brain, there appears to be another step from interpretation to action, more is needed to understand this development of the mind.
The brain seems like a very sensitive electro chemical system but is it also an elecrto magnetic system as well? How is it that our thought and mental process is so impervious to magnetic fields?
This video would've benefited from a discussion with Karl Friston or Anil Seth on the free energy principle and predictive processing.. The leading theory of how the brain systems work together in a hierarchical way with feedback loops based on a delicate balance of top down priors and bottom up sensory information flow.
"mental slaves of the meat in our heads.." This is like asking: are computers slaves of the circuitry, metal, plastic, etc.. that makes up the machine? The point is that the elements that make up the brain are just that, parts of a whole that generate thoughts( ideas, and everything else that the 'brain controls .) David Bohm in his book QUANTUM THEORY, Prentice Hall, 1951, writes about the similarity between the thought process and the classical limit of the quantum theory. " Bohr ( not Bohm ) suggests that thought involves such small amounts of energy that quantum-theoretical limitations play an essential role in determining its character. ( N. Bohr, Atomic Theory and the Description of Nature ). Bohm goes on to write: "If such a hypothesis could ever be verified, it would explain in a natural way a great many features of our thinking." An interesting analogy is that the brain might be a quantum computer....
While the old brain has maintained a relationship to body size, the new brain of human beings has grown more dramatically relative to other species evolutionary. Functionally human beings have become self-conscious, as well as developing a sense for different forms of energies in our environment , being able to name them, and their inter-relationships (perform science). This adaptable sense receptor and transmitter of energy, I call the mind. The science expertise presented in this video supports brain adaptable synapses exist, adaptable cellular sense receptors exist, which infers adaptable senses to energies physical and unseen. So how brains work is that they not only manage the physiology of the body internally, but compared externally to other species, provide the physical mechanism of adaptable mind sense receptors. Specifically our human creative mechanism is part of the mind that intentionally senses the energy relationships and defines them relative to our sense of the passage of time in relation to space. This includes the scaffolding of mathematics, which is also a mind sense of physicality unique for human beings.
Nice lighting btw... they don’t use side lighting much anymore, and deep background blue when I completing my science photography degree 20 years ago I try led program pattern matching from video but I couldn’t. I don’t feel so bad about that now, I was only 20
Worrying and wondering about the brain is like concerning yourself over a radio, instead of enjoying what the radio is able to give, like the great music. I’d be more interested in how the musicians were able to blend the words and notes together to make the music we love and enjoy rather than the box it came out of.

Looks like brain collects a lot of information in the neurons, gathers the information together across synapses, then interprets how the information relates to the person; which part of brain activity is more scientific, describing the information and its relation to the organism.
Oh wow you touched on this, yeah I think it’s important, when my pain started going up, I was searching for things like when did animals first feel pain, yeah very first dinosaurs show evidence from arthritis. It’s like I sought to find god when I’m so much pain... sort of thing, you stop wanting to live. I know what it would be like prehistoric no pain killers, it’s really bad
The real mystery is the relationship between our brains and consciousness. How can our consciousness operate independent of brain activity? It's very common for a person's consciousness to leave their bodies and operate independently.
That lilly pond is what I imagine pharaoh’s cloths to have come from, knowledge is so easy applying it is so hard, if only a heaven, oh yeah what’s the point of heaven? I wish I could work harder in this life, now
What I took from this our brains can change based in the stimulus we give them. If we challenge ourselves with problems to solve or just feed information into our brain it gets bigger and our IQ goes up. So we need to challenge our children with problems to solve and expose them to lots of stimulus if we want them to be smart.
Just the opposite, ability to build and use tools made us smart, not natural evolution. This means brain is limited, doesn't depend on knowledge of things but making sense of them. You don't need to know a lot to be smart.
@@xspotbox4400 So if wild animals are more intelligent than their domestic counterparts and that is because of the necessity of solving the problems of survival that says to me we become smarter when we are forced to use our brains. Our IQ goes up. You lose what you don't use.
A PhD in 1964! In 2020 we still know close to nothing .. cannot imagine where the funding is coming from to support all these academics who need to look busy...
Brain science today means methodologies and tools of manipulation, since understanding is just a mechanical problem, no different to study of any other living organism. In other words, nobody cares what we imagine and feel deep down inside, since we think in words, constantly lie to our self aware mind, there are no such differences in people and only real science can produce any practical results. Sure we can think, build tools and outsmart all other animals and plants, but that doesn't help us much mostly, human powers come from socialization, morals, traditions and industrial technologies. How human brains works, same as monkey or elephant brains probably, all mammals have similar tissues. So we want to know why human brain is more efficient and better in solving various problems, not necessary what brain is in general, like why any brain at all. I don't want to help building better weapons and means of control, all i personally care about is ability of imagination and understanding of health issues, everybody need those just the same. Medicine is a technical science, so i focus on ideas mostly, because i believe imagination is the most precious substance in the entire universe. We often think of brains like computers, because logical procedures can give rise to consistent visualizations of many aspects of reality, therefore brains must do the math somehow. Here's a paradox, computers are static matter, shaping flow of potentials over circuit path ways. We touch some exposed part of electronic and charge de cohere immediately, causing entire chain of logical reasoning around certain algorithms to collapse and discharge into heath. It's even more complicated in reality, flow of shaped electric signals is composed from two parts, mechanical pressure and electric potential. They vanish in different ways, since electricity can only be transformed into another potential, but mechanical systems must reset physically, as a material configuration. Brain is not a static thing, cells are not mechanical switches but living bodies, they change position and get replaced all the time. This lack of permanent structure might be the key for understanding of spiritualism, because flow of information must be inherit from previous generations of cells and constantly balanced out when cells move in their 3 dimensional organic volume. Consciousness is a constant struggle for sense of self that emerge from physical motion, but this self perpetuation also allow for various alternatives, since thought is driven by an organic flow and can't ever stop, to remain in some permanent configuration. It's strange because we can make our conscious thoughts stand still and numb down their inherited ability to a very weak sensation of self presence. Meditation is evidence for special kind of mechanics we're not used to in our real world, shaping harmonizing brains internal field of potentials does reflect as physical change on brains scanning devices. But why are meditative people more intelligent in general if they actually think less, it's could be because imagination emerge from living motion of cells and they work better when harmonized without anything forcing them to do much work. When a dreamer wakes up, his brain regions perform refreshed and work in sync, those are preffered conditions for some serious intellectual work. It's because flow of conscious thoughts can create worlds, brains alone are mostly trying to survive like is, are not meant to replace natural evolution of material universe.
All the questions that CTT pose are based on the mechanical perspective of how things like the human brain works. The outlook from mechanics has to invent fixed point parameters first and then try to get the lowdown regarding the ratios between the points and compare whatever this reductionist method reveals in itself with other similar mechanical experiments and then draw conclusions. This reliance on the material differences between fixed point hypothesis is the basis for understanding through reasoning by adapting past or known information which is actually redundant and therefore not particularly useful for looking at the movement of living things that are constantly changing in ways that are not necessarily perceived by the mechanism of thought processes. Therefore to learn about living things as opposed to dead things, the methodology of fixed point thinking has to be set aside so that observation of the unknown or ‘what is’ may open up it’s fresh perception of the psychological mystery that bears no resemblance to past knowledge/ experience. When the movement of mechanical insights are given their proper place in the mind/ brain consciousness and space for new insight emanating from intelligence that is not yours or mine enters into the picture, then consciousness will be whole, not limited by what we are conditioned to believe is a uniquely individual consciousness. Such self knowledge is not a product available from university based studies because they are all caught in the mechanical structure of intellectual acquisitions and so on as that’s the limitations of the human condition unfortunately.
@@Mutation80 Neither is an engine horsepower but the engine causes horsepower as the CPU causes triggered binary voltages. Consciousness is not an "output" it is the source of awareness. Brain matter is not Conscious or aware of anything.
Brains in themselves don't tell you how they work, all of that is an interpretation within your consciousness, matter tells you nothing. Knowledge is the property of consciousness alone, since brain isn't knowledge consciousness transcends brain and matter.
So it's pretty simple.. the brain mirrors the galaxy.. with the two hemispheres.. right and left is above and below.. as above... blah blah blah.. So this is also the realms of dark matter and dark energy which we perceive as thoughts and emotions.. above and below the fabric of space.. the fabric is also the middle plane.. so 3 planes.. dark energy 1-3 matter 4-6 and dark matter is 7-9 with the singularities marking the 10th dimension.. 10 fingers.. 10 dimensions.. it's the reason why we use 10 numbers logically. The physical body grows out of the 5th dimension into the 4th and 6th to create the 3d form we see in the ordinary sense. So gravity also works by radiating the grounded dark matter and energy.. which curves spacetime exactly how general relativity predicts.. the schrodinger equations wave form expresses the frequency and volume of the space exhausted. Which leaves the electron orbit of the atom and seeps into the 3d space we see and live in.. it's dark matter that holds things in place.. while dark energy expands in an entropic way.. dark matter is order producing.. and well so I'd dark energy.. and the two create entropy when combined.. sort of because they also create life.. DNA is basically the biological software which resonates with a certain frequency that's attached to the form that is the dark matter.. this chain is like the spiral arms of a galaxy if you take snap shots while rotating. If I could show you some drawings I could better explain.. who am I tho? Prolly the one who figures out how everything works on a fundamental bedrock sense.. no I'm not omnipotent but I understand the extreme limits of reality and the way things unify along with separate. Once you grasp the shape of the universe with your mind you basically die.. that's the death.. it happens when the planes of the brain collapse and unify in the frontal cortext.. basically you're not really super intelligent.. I mean you are but not in a technical sense.. no math required.. it takes visualization abilities.. will to love and survive.. the will to know reality more than one wishes to remain alive.. Dr.. Kuhn you say you want to know the truth but would you hit the mental self destruct botton.. and basically kill your sense of humanity? Literally dying.. without actually physically dying.. reborn as a child while living as a man.. People thing matter exists which is not really true.. but.. yeah it's as true as possible.. just don't get stuck on the physicality.. it's not helpful.. the devils in the details.. they don't really exist.. Gods creation is a fundamental form which gives the structure required along with the flexibility necessary for gods awareness to be duplicated.. I don't believe the ordinary human is different from god in one sense.. they are basically clones of perspective. The difference is that where ordinary humans are lost in abstraction.. god ;) for lack of a better more accurate term.. sees the abstraction as a concrete visual structure that is logical in a hyperspatial way.. We made it to 10 dimensions in a galaxy.. 3 6 9.. 10.. 3 3d spaces.. and 10 unifies.. cosmic elevator.. it connects the planes. The chakras also correlate with the 5d heart chakra being center of physical.. red orange yellow is dark energy.. green matter.. cyan blue and violet are dark matter. With the pure white light being the source of the dark matter.. and the cosmic subwoofer in the blackholes singularity blasts dark energy that actually enters reality through the center of matter.. this right here is a key insight.. the idea that space flows from the center of mass out inflating matter.. animating matter ect.. electrons would collapse into the nucleus if there was no space in motion blowing the thing up.. the leptons are powered by dark matter.. basically electrons because high energy physics stuff is more confusing than necessarily helpful.. at least to me.. I dont do math like that tho.. I just think.. So up quarks are dark energy in a material state.. sort of.. it's hard to explain.. but fundamentally if you intersect the dark matter with dark energy.. the resulting particle is the intersection of the two fields.. the two fields vibrate as the collective field of thought regulates the reality.. I'm our local reality the milky ways super massive blackhole is top dog.. it regulates the galaxy more than anything else.. other than maybe andromeda... but won't go there. Galaxies are Male and female at least intially.. I'm not totally sure about their relationships tho because just look at the human relationship dynamic.. that's basically the galaxies incarnated on earth living together as a community. I could continue to get into the subtleties of how I see things.. but I think this is enough for now. :)
They can separate brain lobes by cutting tissue that connect them, but both lobes remain connected to central nervous system and function basically normal. Try to do that with a galaxy, it's like splitting a pile of sand floating in vacuum of space. Physics is hard this days only for people who study theory and work on border edge experiments, we can't imagine what quantum means because there are no such machines around us yet. Or they are, but they're meaningless to us, like you could open a processor in your computer when working and still couldn't see a thing.
the brain = the hardware. Talk to us about the software....now you got something! How does seeing occur ? or hearing, or generating a thought. Sure ya talk about electrical impulses and synaps and ___________ ( fill in the blank); yet it's the software at the ~ kernel~ level that is the magic. And, I for one do not have a clue on how that works....
A piece from a new book titled: Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach into the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlie all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law which allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice verse. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment of time than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to between making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, or producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always to respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result from any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things in a conventional way - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life - including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream - already exists within us.
How do brains work? Definitely not like computers, that's for sure. There is no DNA "blueprint" to explain the brain's functional specializations or its "software". A brain is a colony of neurons... much more like a city than a computer. The functional specializations in the brain evolve in much the same way as do the functional specializations of a city, where both are contingent on experience. Experiences wire neuroplastic brains, and historical experiences wire cities, to form into specializations such as residential, industrial, commercial, farming, defense, etc. Another important aspect of neural/brain functioning is binding (QM entanglement). Research by Apostolou et al 2018 & Pizzi et al 2004 seem to point in that direction. Neurons have access to the collective brain through binding (entanglement), in much the same way that people have access to the collective city through telecommunications & media (researching - work in progress).

Are you saying shooting a laser beam into a brain will produce entangled particles? It's not that simple, quantum mechanics is definitely part of it, since brain is made from atoms, just like everything else, but those effects doesn't occur in our dimension so often as one might think. Brain is an organic matter, it's proteins, not crystals and disco beams.
@@xspotbox4400 Either those effects don't occur as often as one might think... OR... those effects are so pervasive that they are invisible to us. Relates to what I call "identicality". All the DNA molecules in any one organism are identical to one another. Yes, we know about decoherence and that warm, wet environments are not conducive to entangled states. However, we are stepping outside the box, and reframing our assumptions. Maybe decoherence is REcoherence (to a prior state). On the topic of identicality: Blasiak, P. & Markiewicz, M. (2019). Entangling three qubits without ever touching. Scientific Reports 9, 20131. doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-55137-3 Polish Academy of Sciences (2020). Quantum entanglement of independent particles without any contact - ever. SciTechDaily. scitechdaily.com/quantum-entanglement-of-independent-particles-without-any-contact-ever/
@@TheTroofSayer This approach sounds more interesting, there could be some very powerful radiation shining directly at some crystalline form, producing entangled polarities in their environment. And you could also be right about entanglement sensibility, there can be a lot of that phenomena occurring at atomic scale we just can't detect yet. Looks like chaos, driven by geometry of forces inside curved space time and entropy, but part of it can be a magic. Because this is what entanglement actually means, things happen at a distance, like nothing exist in between and in an instant, without proper physical cause except mathematical equivalence principle we somehow believe is real. But those experiments can occur only in controlled lab environment, just like lasers are not very common in nature. Problem is, how can some isolated physical anomaly became alive and spread all around the planet, even in space? More over, it has to be very precisely balanced experiment, it's like there's only one right set of chemicals and procedures that can raise Frankenstein monster from dead. I like it because this principle enwoke magic, if miracles can happen on a large scale, than rabbits can still jump out from an empty head as today and who knows what else natural arcane forces can transmute from an empty space connecting different places over space time...

"mental slaves of the meat in our heads.." This is like asking: are computers slaves of the circuitry, metal, plastic, etc.. that makes up the machine? The point is that the elements that make up the brain are just that, parts of a whole that generate thoughts( ideas, and everything else that the 'brain controls .) David Bohm in his book QUANTUM THEORY, Prentice Hall, 1951, writes about the similarity between the thought process and the classical limit of the quantum theory. " Bohr ( not Bohm ) suggests that thought involves such small amounts of energy that quantum-theoretical limitations play an essential role in determining its character. ( N. Bohr, Atomic Theory and the Description of Nature ). Bohm goes on to write: "If such a hypothesis could ever be verified, it would explain in a natural way a great many features of our thinking." An interesting analogy is that the brain might be a quantum computer....
While the old brain has maintained a relationship to body size, the new brain of human beings has grown more dramatically relative to other species evolutionary. Functionally human beings have become self-conscious, as well as developing a sense for different forms of energies in our environment , being able to name them, and their inter-relationships (perform science). This adaptable sense receptor and transmitter of energy, I call the mind.
The science expertise presented in this video supports brain adaptable synapses exist, adaptable cellular sense receptors exist, which infers adaptable senses to energies physical and unseen. So how brains work is that they not only manage the physiology of the body internally, but compared externally to other species, provide the physical mechanism of adaptable mind sense receptors. Specifically our human creative mechanism is part of the mind that intentionally senses the energy relationships and defines them relative to our sense of the passage of time in relation to space.

Worrying and wondering about the brain is like concerning yourself over a radio, instead of enjoying what the radio is able to give, like the great music.

None of these scientists understands what is consciousness.
Exactly
But scientists are getting closer: Check out the work of Anil Seth.
Having read your simple comment, I simply knew you don’t understand a dime on what these scientists have already understood in their brains. Cheers~
Looks like brain collects a lot of information in the neurons, gathers the information together across synapses, then interprets how the information relates to the person; which part of brain activity is more scientific, describing the information and its relation to the organism.

Watching this almost made me want to not reject neuroscience in favor of physics for my undergrad, almost.
With neurolink being the beginning of something huge I think studying neuroscience is the most exciting field you can dive into.
What I took from this our brains can change based in the stimulus we give them. If we challenge ourselves with problems to solve or just feed information into our brain it gets bigger and our IQ goes up. So we need to challenge our children with problems to solve and expose them to lots of stimulus if we want them to be smart.
Just the opposite, ability to build and use tools made us smart, not natural evolution. This means brain is limited, doesn't depend on knowledge of things but making sense of them. You don't need to know a lot to be smart.
@@xspotbox4400 So if wild animals are more intelligent than their domestic counterparts and that is because of the necessity of solving the problems of survival that says to me we become smarter when we are forced to use our brains. Our IQ goes up. You lose what you don't use.

You can buy device for 500 dollars that you place over your head, connect to a mobile phone and you can control a drone with your thoughts.
Brain science today means methodologies and tools of manipulation, since understanding is just a mechanical problem, no different to study of any other living organism. In other words, nobody cares what we imagine and feel deep down inside, since we think in words, constantly lie to our self aware mind, there are no such differences in people and only real science can produce any practical results. Sure we can think, build tools and outsmart all other animals and plants, but that doesn't help us much mostly, human powers come from socialization, morals, traditions and industrial technologies.
How human brains works, same as monkey or elephant brains probably, all mammals have similar tissues. So we want to know why human brain is more efficient and better in solving various problems, not necessary what brain is in general, like why any brain at all. I don't want to help building better weapons and means of control, all i personally care about is ability of imagination and understanding of health issues, everybody need those just the same. Medicine is a technical science, so i focus on ideas mostly, because i believe imagination is the most precious substance in the entire universe.
We often think of brains like computers, because logical procedures can give rise to consistent visualizations of many aspects of reality, therefore brains must do the math somehow. Here's a paradox, computers are static matter, shaping flow of potentials over circuit path ways. We touch some exposed part of electronic and charge de cohere immediately, causing entire chain of logical reasoning around certain algorithms to collapse and discharge into heath. It's even more complicated in reality, flow of shaped electric signals is composed from two parts, mechanical pressure and electric potential. They vanish in different ways, since electricity can only be transformed into another potential, but mechanical systems must reset physically, as a material configuration.
Brain is not a static thing, cells are not mechanical switches but living bodies, they change position and get replaced all the time. This lack of permanent structure might be the key for understanding of spiritualism, because flow of information must be inherit from previous generations of cells and constantly balanced out when cells move in their 3 dimensional organic volume. Consciousness is a constant struggle for sense of self that emerge from physical motion, but this self perpetuation also allow for various alternatives, since thought is driven by an organic flow and can't ever stop, to remain in some permanent configuration. It's strange because we can make our conscious thoughts stand still and numb down their inherited ability to a very weak sensation of self presence. Meditation is evidence for special kind of mechanics we're not used to in our real world, shaping harmonizing brains internal field of potentials does reflect as physical change on brains scanning devices. But why are meditative people more intelligent in general if they actually think less, it's could be because imagination emerge from living motion of cells and they work better when harmonized without anything forcing them to do much work. When a dreamer wakes up, his brain regions perform refreshed and work in sync, those are preffered conditions for some serious intellectual work. It's because flow of conscious thoughts can create worlds, brains alone are mostly trying to survive like is, are not meant to replace natural evolution of material universe.
Without a CREATED MIND, brains would not exist.
Yes! Evolution is amazing!
What's your opinion on when 'mind' begins ? we know when the brain begins...
And, what is your definition of mind?
A good consideration! From my psychokinetic experiments and consequent results induce to think that the mind = consciousness It created the brain
@@frank1803 Acute question! Before birth? During? I don't know!
All the questions that CTT pose are based on the mechanical perspective of how things like the human brain works. The outlook from mechanics has to invent fixed point parameters first and then try to get the lowdown regarding the ratios between the points and compare whatever this reductionist method reveals in itself with other similar mechanical experiments and then draw conclusions. This reliance on the material differences between fixed point hypothesis is the basis for understanding through reasoning by adapting past or known information which is actually redundant and therefore not particularly useful for looking at the movement of living things that are constantly changing in ways that are not necessarily perceived by the mechanism of thought processes.
Therefore to learn about living things as opposed to dead things, the methodology of fixed point thinking has to be set aside so that observation of the unknown or ‘what is’ may open up it’s fresh perception of the psychological mystery that bears no resemblance to past knowledge/ experience. When the movement of mechanical insights are given their proper place in the mind/ brain consciousness and space for new insight emanating from intelligence that is not yours or mine enters into the picture, then consciousness will be whole, not limited by what we are conditioned to believe is a uniquely individual consciousness. Such self knowledge is not a product available from university based studies because they are all caught in the mechanical structure of intellectual acquisitions and so on as that’s the limitations of the human condition unfortunately.

Brains in themselves don't tell you how they work, all of that is an interpretation within your consciousness, matter tells you nothing. Knowledge is the property of consciousness alone, since brain isn't knowledge consciousness transcends brain and matter.

In my opinion, those who study and see how the human body works and still deny a creator are not even worth looking at.
So it's pretty simple.. the brain mirrors the galaxy.. with the two hemispheres.. right and left is above and below.. as above... blah blah blah..
So this is also the realms of dark matter and dark energy which we perceive as thoughts and emotions.. above and below the fabric of space.. the fabric is also the middle plane.. so 3 planes.. dark energy 1-3 matter 4-6 and dark matter is 7-9 with the singularities marking the 10th dimension..
10 fingers.. 10 dimensions.. it's the reason why we use 10 numbers logically.
The physical body grows out of the 5th dimension into the 4th and 6th to create the 3d form we see in the ordinary sense.
So gravity also works by radiating the grounded dark matter and energy.. which curves spacetime exactly how general relativity predicts.. the schrodinger equations wave form expresses the frequency and volume of the space exhausted. Which leaves the electron orbit of the atom and seeps into the 3d space we see and live in.. it's dark matter that holds things in place.. while dark energy expands in an entropic way.. dark matter is order producing.. and well so I'd dark energy.. and the two create entropy when combined.. sort of because they also create life..
DNA is basically the biological software which resonates with a certain frequency that's attached to the form that is the dark matter.. this chain is like the spiral arms of a galaxy if you take snap shots while rotating. If I could show you some drawings I could better explain.. who am I tho?
Prolly the one who figures out how everything works on a fundamental bedrock sense.. no I'm not omnipotent but I understand the extreme limits of reality and the way things unify along with separate.
Once you grasp the shape of the universe with your mind you basically die.. that's the death.. it happens when the planes of the brain collapse and unify in the frontal cortext.. basically you're not really super intelligent.. I mean you are but not in a technical sense.. no math required.. it takes visualization abilities.. will to love and survive.. the will to know reality more than one wishes to remain alive..
Dr.. Kuhn you say you want to know the truth but would you hit the mental self destruct botton.. and basically kill your sense of humanity? Literally dying.. without actually physically dying.. reborn as a child while living as a man..
People thing matter exists which is not really true.. but.. yeah it's as true as possible.. just don't get stuck on the physicality.. it's not helpful.. the devils in the details.. they don't really exist..
Gods creation is a fundamental form which gives the structure required along with the flexibility necessary for gods awareness to be duplicated.. I don't believe the ordinary human is different from god in one sense.. they are basically clones of perspective. The difference is that where ordinary humans are lost in abstraction.. god ;) for lack of a better more accurate term.. sees the abstraction as a concrete visual structure that is logical in a hyperspatial way..
We made it to 10 dimensions in a galaxy.. 3 6 9.. 10.. 3 3d spaces.. and 10 unifies.. cosmic elevator.. it connects the planes. The chakras also correlate with the 5d heart chakra being center of physical.. red orange yellow is dark energy.. green matter.. cyan blue and violet are dark matter. With the pure white light being the source of the dark matter.. and the cosmic subwoofer in the blackholes singularity blasts dark energy that actually enters reality through the center of matter.. this right here is a key insight.. the idea that space flows from the center of mass out inflating matter.. animating matter ect.. electrons would collapse into the nucleus if there was no space in motion blowing the thing up.. the leptons are powered by dark matter.. basically electrons because high energy physics stuff is more confusing than necessarily helpful.. at least to me.. I dont do math like that tho.. I just think..
So up quarks are dark energy in a material state.. sort of.. it's hard to explain.. but fundamentally if you intersect the dark matter with dark energy.. the resulting particle is the intersection of the two fields.. the two fields vibrate as the collective field of thought regulates the reality.. I'm our local reality the milky ways super massive blackhole is top dog.. it regulates the galaxy more than anything else.. other than maybe andromeda... but won't go there.
Galaxies are Male and female at least intially.. I'm not totally sure about their relationships tho because just look at the human relationship dynamic.. that's basically the galaxies incarnated on earth living together as a community.
I could continue to get into the subtleties of how I see things.. but I think this is enough for now. :)
They can separate brain lobes by cutting tissue that connect them, but both lobes remain connected to central nervous system and function basically normal. Try to do that with a galaxy, it's like splitting a pile of sand floating in vacuum of space.
Physics is hard this days only for people who study theory and work on border edge experiments, we can't imagine what quantum means because there are no such machines around us yet. Or they are, but they're meaningless to us, like you could open a processor in your computer when working and still couldn't see a thing.
the brain = the hardware. Talk to us about the software....now you got something!
How does seeing occur ? or hearing, or generating a thought. Sure ya talk about electrical impulses and synaps and ___________ ( fill in the blank); yet it's the software at the ~ kernel~ level that is the magic. And, I for one do not have a clue on how that works....
Can a software write new codes of software and adopt to user demands?
A piece from a new book titled: Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration.
‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach into the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses.
To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlie all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law which allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice verse. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment of time than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents.
Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to between making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, or producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always to respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result from any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things in a conventional way - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life - including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream - already exists within us.
Can you elaborate?
So all we need is another word to explain meaningless words and help us with words we don't like.
Glad you are getting away from the Religous nutters Robert.

did you noticed "?" ?
How do brains work? Definitely not like computers, that's for sure. There is no DNA "blueprint" to explain the brain's functional specializations or its "software". A brain is a colony of neurons... much more like a city than a computer. The functional specializations in the brain evolve in much the same way as do the functional specializations of a city, where both are contingent on experience. Experiences wire neuroplastic brains, and historical experiences wire cities, to form into specializations such as residential, industrial, commercial, farming, defense, etc.
Another important aspect of neural/brain functioning is binding (QM entanglement). Research by Apostolou et al 2018 & Pizzi et al 2004 seem to point in that direction. Neurons have access to the collective brain through binding (entanglement), in much the same way that people have access to the collective city through telecommunications & media (researching - work in progress).

Are you saying shooting a laser beam into a brain will produce entangled particles? It's not that simple, quantum mechanics is definitely part of it, since brain is made from atoms, just like everything else, but those effects doesn't occur in our dimension so often as one might think. Brain is an organic matter, it's proteins, not crystals and disco beams.
@@xspotbox4400 Either those effects don't occur as often as one might think... OR... those effects are so pervasive that they are invisible to us. Relates to what I call "identicality". All the DNA molecules in any one organism are identical to one another. Yes, we know about decoherence and that warm, wet environments are not conducive to entangled states. However, we are stepping outside the box, and reframing our assumptions. Maybe decoherence is REcoherence (to a prior state). On the topic of identicality:

@@TheTroofSayer This approach sounds more interesting, there could be some very powerful radiation shining directly at some crystalline form, producing entangled polarities in their environment. And you could also be right about entanglement sensibility, there can be a lot of that phenomena occurring at atomic scale we just can't detect yet. Looks like chaos, driven by geometry of forces inside curved space time and entropy, but part of it can be a magic.
Because this is what entanglement actually means, things happen at a distance, like nothing exist in between and in an instant, without proper physical cause except mathematical equivalence principle we somehow believe is real. But those experiments can occur only in controlled lab environment, just like lasers are not very common in nature. Problem is, how can some isolated physical anomaly became alive and spread all around the planet, even in space? More over, it has to be very precisely balanced experiment, it's like there's only one right set of chemicals and procedures that can raise Frankenstein monster from dead.
I like it because this principle enwoke magic, if miracles can happen on a large scale, than rabbits can still jump out from an empty head as today and who knows what else natural arcane forces can transmute from an empty space connecting different places over space time...
