Building a Circuit-Diagram for the Brain (Jennifer Raymond, Stanford University)

Jennifer Raymond (Stanford University) is building a “wiring diagram” for the brain. By bridging the gap between individual synapses and whole-brain learning & memory, Raymond’s research offers new insights and strategies for medical rehabilitation and K-12 education.

    Supposing we were to build a system mimicking biological cognition. What is it with a collection of neurons that allows it to create that “thing” in the back of your eyes? That “thing” that decides whether to scratch and itch, or not. Jellyfish don’t possess this “thing.” Canines, felines and hominids do. Are there videos or academic disciplines attempting to investigate and unravel the secrets of biological cognition? To put all the information to work and actually create a new species of life

    theres more red tape, but this keeps us relatively on-track and focused to generalize and collaborate, to be applications-driven while maintaining a theoretical basis for what we’re doing… its a management thing I think

    yeah, checking his page out verifies this lol

    yes!!! as well as the micro movements of the eye – maybe these variables are feedback sensors which would help make sense of the deep levels of abstract processing? (in the back of the brain)

    I wonder if she takes into account the processing that occurs before the optic ganglia? I believe this is a learning system to some extent as well..

  6. trisky1234 says:

    So what I’m saying …
    So what I’m saying is that American scientists may come up with a lot of cool out-of-the-box stuff, they just run more risk of not getting it published due conflicts of interest.

  7. trisky1234 says:

    This is true to …
    This is true to some extent, though the cause is different from what you state. I believe the American scientific community is more limited in it’s productivity due to the structure of influence from outside of the scientific community (business, politics). I believe this structure is more limiting than elsewhere..

    Good lecture, but I always loved and I will love Russian scientists… If to compare the American education and our you are simple ants in comparison with us. Russian always depart from norm and do amazing opening, Americans in this turn do all exclusively under books
    sorry for my English, i can write in Russian but you would not understand anything what i say

    Can’t do that in Tampa where I live because they recently added traffic cameras that have resulted in thousands of tickets being issued to people for running red lights.

    At 06:29, i liked Raymond’s example of how the brain functions when driver encounters yellow light (accelerate!) and how behavior might change if police issue ticket. I just want everyone reading here to know: I go through red lights early in morning when there is no traffic, no pedestrians, and no police. I do have a brain! I will use my brain to access safety and not blindly follow a senseless directing light. I will continue to proceed through red when safe so as not to waste gas!

    True health involves using your mind in a positive way to achieve balance, and eating a health diet. Learn how to do this and more. Breakthroughthebarriers

    Wow, thanks Stanford for putting these lectures up. I’m enjoying the heck out of these.

    THIS REALLY WORKS!!!!

    FIRST put both hands on your chest. (boy or girl)

    SECOND think of someone you like.

    THIRD tomorrow that person will ask you out or say they love you.

    FOURTH Heres the catch, write this to five videos

    …but who decides …
    …but who decides to place the brain or body in the position to be modified? It is true that we are at the mercy of forces in the world and in that way are shaped by it, but I must refer to the old adage of being in the right place at the right time to effectively demonstrate the degree to which choice is ours. We have the capacity to place ourselves in different environments and so the capacity to control the input of information. We even have control over the brain’s plasticity in learning.

    Thank you for the great presentation.

    I agree with this …
    I agree with this video. There is a reason and cause why we act/behave the way we do. Seems very logical and understanding. I think we don’t have choice, but governed by the basic building blocks of life and they way the are setup/modified.
