Omg i love you, this is just the info i need. In 2012 at age 43 I had multiple strokes of unknown origon after cluster migraines. I have about 10 dead patches of brain on the left front in both sides of the back full stop it affected by sight and memory mostly. I had no little voice inside my head for a year or 3. I was told the usual thing at my best Improvement would be in the first 6 months the next best would be 12 months and then after 2 years that would be very little improvement. But they are wrong . Thanks to the internet I've been able to redownload a lot of information very quickly also which is helped a lot. And I've been running on the placebo effect. I believe that my body knows how to heal itself even if I don't. So long as I give it the right environment to prosper in mentally and physically and emotionally. So thank you you're one of very few videos I have watched from experts. You have helped to give me a visual image of what I'm trying to achieve and that it is actually possible and not just Wishful Thinking on my behalf. And it confirms why I'm able to heal myself even though the expert said that there was nothing that they could do
@@tonyastacio233 your age and the severity of the damage does play a factor in recovery but there is a lot you can do to relearn and rewire your brain. Whilst your mum will absolutely need people to look out for her you also have to allow her to do things for her self so that she can regain these memory patterns. Hugs
Try letting your guest speak next time. Eagleman is brilliant. Very frustrating how you cut him off at his natural pauses between thoughts, when he's clearly still speaking.
I found the book The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle to illustrate some of these points through the context of Myelin. W Could anyone tell me why Myelin as it relates to skill acquisition isn’t mentioned in this conversation when it seems incredibly relevant?
I had this view before, but I couldn't find out why it's necessary for AI purposes (learning). If you have a universal turing machine, then the reassembling and reconfiguring of hardware AND software based on each other can be simulated by that machine. Right?
Interesting! But the question I need is: can your brain adapt to fundamental personality/trait changes? e.g. developing conscientiousness, developing mathematical abilities, artistic skills... without naturally having them in the first place? (like I'm more a linguistic guy, not very bright with numbers and such lol)
The left hemisphere of brain is running in a Windows sandbox which is running on a Linux virtual machine on top of an electronic neural network. My right hemisphere is on an abandoned processing node in AmigaOS running on a Pornhub server.
Wrong way to look at it I think, it evolved to be adaptable, and it is a function of that adaptability. In a strange, dangerous and unpredictable world, adaptability is king.
It functions but nowhere near as well as a whole brain. People who talk up plasticity tend to oversell it. This and the cerebellum are the two things that most often come up when they do that. Some people claim your conscious experience is totally unaffected by having your cerebellum removed--you just lose all ability to regulate your emotions and suffer some physical disability. Call me crazy, but I sort of think emotional regulation and being fully physically able are important parts of everyday conscious experience.
@@redacted7104 No it's a real operation. It's a way to cure epileptic seizures. They don't cut kids brains up just to see what happens... anymore at least 😂

All the best for the future ma'am[Edited].
Manukashyap U V I’m a she but thank you
Thanks for sharing your experience, I feel much more optimistic about my mom who suffered a stroke 2 years ago.

@@troubleabout5137 thanks, so kind of you replying to my comment. 🙏

Lex: just to LINGER ON IT A LITTLE MORE
Linger? I hardly knew her!
BadumTss
He looks like an alternate version of Danny Pudi haha
Yes!
I clicked on this video because I was sure it looked like Pudi, wondered what Lex was trying here.
mind he’s an actor; you may be able to recognize him as Abed from the show Community.

An FPGA is a better comparison to the human brain than a computer processor.
"A.I. might be better" lol

@Stark Damien got any resources?
benjamin hardy - personality isnt permanent
When I think of plasticity I think of plasticine...endlessly mouldable, maybe we don’t need to change
Hi! I just wanted to know if this channel is an official channel managed by Lex, or it's a fan-administered channel?
This is an official channel managed by lex
@@shashwatbharadwaj8347 thanks a heap
Seems as we refine our scientific understanding of the mind, we’re just catching up with the more subjective experiential wisdom of Buddhism
It was in search of chaos equations
And the universe interacts in the same way (:
not gonna lie i got lex is a robot vibes from this clip
it's not the reason I learn
The left hemisphere of brain is running in a Windows sandbox which is running on a Linux virtual machine on top of an electronic neural network. My right hemisphere is on an abandoned processing node in AmigaOS running on a Pornhub server.
Why would our brain evolve to be the size it is, requiring the power it does when it can function on 1 hemisphere with half the power requirements?
So that when you lose a hemisphere, you still function! Redundancy

You could put a human brain and consciousness into a tank and it would function. Would it do what you want? Probably not.
Ummm this seems strange.?.it seems morbid to use the children as an example
it's just an example to explain how flexible the brain is at rewiring itself.

Just the best example in human medicine to cite
