  • Moran Cerf describes his lab's work studying the brains of humans using unique tools to eavesdrop on the activity of individual cells of patients undergoing brain surgery while they are awake and behaving. He discusses how the work sheds light on the ways our brain processes information, and reflects on what it tells us about how we create the complex narrative we call 'us'.

    it confirms my intuition that consciousness and free will are more like a story we're passively watching, than something we're producing ourselves. I will use that as arguments when defending determinism.

    love your lectures, and so happy to know that all this actually 100% EXISTS AND IS FINALLY PROVEN !!! you know how many arguments i had with people over the years telling me that I AM OUT OF MY MIND AND THIS IS ALL IMPOSSIBLE!!!! Thats why I have always said in life ANYTHING IS. POSSIBLE BUT AT THE SAME TIME ALREADY WRITTEN ;) Now my question is what do YOU OR What do WE DO WHEN WE NEXT FIND OUT WE CAN LIVE FOREVER AND OR HAVE ALREADY LIVED THROUGH ALL THIS? What are the those steps ? :) jk haha but also curious :) PHENOMENAL WORK BY THE WAY DOCTOR AND THANK YOU!

    Good evening. It was interesting to learn you are from Israel. I thought you were French. I watched your interview with Tom Billyeu and learned that you are a great mind of our time. Thank you for the research you do. Would it be possible to learn more about your research with chip implants in the human brain?

    My guess is that as he enters our brains again and again his researchers will find reductively that we are all essentially the same but that our “computing capability” will increase with exposure and THAT is how we will advance as a species. We will find that, although we don’t know it, our skill sets are interchangeable so that, unlike the ways in which we think of ourselves today, none of us is exceptional. So much of society clings to the notion that certain of us are exceptional but that is only because some of us having higher degrees of computing power...nothing more.

    Funny Idea: if our minds work in pictures, then maybe other creatures on earth do as well. Could this technology enable Octopi to talk to cats or whales or people or even perhaps we all have a conversation in picture form about a very simple idea like eating a fish? As a first step this could lead to a beginning or genesis of interspecies philosophy. Could this technology or type of thinking be applied to fungus, because i would love to interact with a fungi!

    Funny idea: lets say you take the Blue Pill without knowing what is inside the pill. And lets say this microscopic mind tool binds its self to your brain via the blood stream via this Blue Pill. Now lets say some outside actor can manipulate your thoughts before you have your thoughts or even over ride a thought. Lets say you want to get a health checkup but every time you find a reason to not get an MRI scan. You maybe even develop a phobia to small spaces or to anything that uses radiation in any way, or lets say you have a thought to pick at 'random' a doctor that does MRI scans, and this doctor is all the while the same outside actor. This maybe could be one way for this mind tool to remain secret from its host brain.
    Would the brain know that it is being usurped?
    Lets say this mind tool used plausible deniability to keep the mind from discovering its existence. Similarly to the way the US cracked the Nazi code and the Japanese code and used math to generally win while loosing some intentionally altho also in a generally way as to not give away it had cracked the axis codes.
    Now lets say this individual with a hostile mind tool controlled by some outside actor does a very bad thing and a mind tool is discovered. What is to be done? Can this possible future be preempted?

    Life is Sacred.......... Strangely, out of thousands of words uttered here I have not apprehended any that referred to, or even insinuated at this fundamental idea.... the idea that life is SACRED......... All research carried out, on humans, or rats or any other species, done without utmost respect can, and often is, a simple exercise in brutality... How many sacred creatures are sacrificed to such ends....... and what really do we have to show for it........???. Just more greed, and more greed, and more greed.......
    I so pray to be wrong on this issue......... Infinite blessings to all benevolent beings.................

    • @tomfommber
      @tomfommber 5 лет назад +1

      Tadeusz Magiera this is just my thought on this. Not a judgment. This animal, what ever it is, in the wild lives a life. Possibly long enough to reproduce, possibly long enough to take its first breath and be eaten by a predator. Whatever happens it serves a purpose. To move it’s species forward, or to feed another host of species to help move them forward. It’s life in the wild could be brutal in ways that are hard to comprehend. Will likely be brutal in ways that are easy to comprehend. We say it’s bad to cut a skull off a rat and attach electrodes and let that rat live that way for months or more. And I get that. It’s disgusting. Were I to see it there are few options that would let me walk away from that animal feeling good. But. You can not deny, I don’t think, that a purpose is being served, a natural purpose. Most humans won’t damage an animal and leave it to a long slow death. Headlines aside, and considering how many humans exist on the planet, and how many of us actually kill other animals, the numbers indicate that most human kills are quick and efficient. A bear will literally eat you alive. Lions will do the same. Parasites will kill you slowly. Over years sometimes. Agonizing deaths spread out in a way that is impossible to I think truly understand. But in each of these a purpose is served. So, I think, too in the case of animal research. The research, however brutal, feeds our understanding. Of how animals work, of how we work, of how what we do effects both their and our environment, among many other specific things. We can and do come away from this with a more sophisticated understanding of our role in nature. And thus a better understanding of our stewardship of nature. We serve the part we serve, just as lions and maggots and microbes serve theirs. Nature is never stasis, and roles are constantly adapting and changing. Our role appears to be the brain of the planet. And we need to feed that brain. We have no more or less right to starve and/or thrive than does any other beast. In fact, as we are a part of nature, nature demands of us what it demands of every other beast, survive and thrive. A lion kills and consumes. We kill and learn. A bear tortures and mutilates to live till tomorrow. We, if you must, torture and mutilate to live for decades. To inform centuries. Which is better? A bear feeds one. Possibly to reproduce three. Of those three the male may eat one. We feed thousands. Possibly millions. For decades. And we do it, in most cases I think, in the most “humane” way possible. And as an aside “humane” is an aberration in nature. The idea, the concept, the execution, simply doesn’t exist in lesser beasts. You can’t do ripping the brains of animals out in the name of science. I get it. Neither could I. That you and I are too squeamish to do the work, does not invalidate the work.

    • @Tdv58
      @Tdv58 5 лет назад +1

      I agree. Why is it okay to do it to a living breathing feeling animal. Just because they cant be heard. Its so wrong on all levels.
      Its riddiculouse to compare a lab with nature. That doesnt make sence. So because animals eat eachother in nature its okay for them to be used as instruments in a lab.

    • @tomfommber
      @tomfommber 5 лет назад

      T DV it’s only ridiculous to compare a lab with nature if you believe that humans somehow exist outside of nature, which is absurd. T DV my point goes to purpose. One thing feeds another, which feeds another, which feeds another. In nature it’s, speaking super broadly here, say 90% nourishment, which goes in many ways to the future of the various species involved, and say 10% knowledge, how to hunt, where to hunt, what to hunt. We’ve changed that ratio. An animal brutally kills one to feed as many as 15 of its particular species. A human brutally kills one to feed and better millions of its individual species. We’ve gone, and I’m speaking so broadly here it’s almost comical, but, we’ve gone from that primal number of 90/10 to 10% nourishment / 90% knowledge. Again, we, broadly speaking, can better millions with a single brutal kill. And not just within our own species. “Nature”, featuring ALL of the same brutality, and often far worse brutality than you can comprehend, accomplishes far less. In the end things die horribly. It simply happens ALL the time. Speaking in terms of the natural life of any animal on earth. And there is nothing we should do to stop that. What we can do is capitalize on that system to learn as much as we can to better ourselves and our planet and all the living things on it.

    Neuroscience is wonderful for basic brain issues. Then there are the complex areas of subconscious and spiritual questions. There is much we don't know, and rarely do I hear those words. Examine the thoughts of an atheistic scientist for 24 hours, then wonder not they see no spiritual energy in the testing machinery.

      @jorygoldsmith250 2 года назад

      Hide in what we don't know. All you can ever say is that there may be something non-deterministic within the portion of neuroscience we don't understand. There is no positive evidence your brain isn't a computer, just that...you never know, it technically might not be! And yet every new thing we learn about the brain points right back to...whaddya know, its a deterministic computer
