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
it's not just the headbobbing, how he's leaning forward and his open posture says so much about how he likes to talk about and explain it to other people
He's absolutely fantastic at explaining it to each person, his entire demeanour changes and he made each person want to learn about it. It was fascinating to watch.
Elie4Elite he has more focus on the actual simulation and its impacts on the computer and their implications on mankind. This conversation is based on politics and ethics, not just the science
The subjects shared one characteristic that facilitated his teaching: a willingness to learn. For many topics, the majority lacks this, especially if the knowledge dares to suggest that incredibly complex things are knowable beyond mystical forces, or conflict with their belief in those forces.
I'm a firm believer that if you can explain things either at a shallow or deeper level (a.k.a. you can adjust to who you're talking to) and do it excellently, then you're really good at what you do.
I always like watching these because as the level of understanding or complexity of thought goes up, it becomes more of a conversation rather than just an expert teaching a student. I love when this side of science is shown. It's not just the expert talking.
So cool to see how well he was able to teach and talk about things even when they knew nothing about it. Keeping them engaged and allowing them to ask questions is a huge part of learning and I’m pretty sure they all left with a bit more knowledge about our brains.
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!
Interesting what the entrepreneur was saying about memory. He mentioned LTP and LDP, which are the most widely accepted models, however my professor is looking into alternate models. This is the beauty of science, things get uncovered constantly. There will always be something to learn
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
I loved this. What a brilliant example of trying to explain somethings complicated in a simple way and the other way around. Great job on the presenter side as well. Especially with younger guests. It’s very hard for people who think and operate on a certain level to switch to a “lower” one. To adapt to a particular level of their corresponder. And that what makes people who can do it great teachers.
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"

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.
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*
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.
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!
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.
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 like that he uses the same tone to talk to everyone and also give them space to say what they think about it. Education is not only about knowledge but also about being nice to other people. Great video! 👏
As a neuroscience major, I can definitely tell you that my hair is slowly progressing to that point haha, I can see myself at graduation with that same hairstyle...
I’m a screenwriter and this concept (along with the questions it presents) makes me wonder about the creative process in that a computer with these downloaded connections might be able to arrive at a new idea faster than us- or, it might not be able to generate the new idea at all. I’ve wondered about this seeing as most ideas are made up of information we already possess but have yet to connect. Would a computer with your exact archive of knowledge be able to make the same connections to create your same idea? Would it be able to do it faster as its sole difference is automation?
“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
Science in general has need of more intermediaries with the speaking and people skills necessary to explain science to non-academics. Many misunderstandings could be cleared up or avoided if there was better communication.
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.
5 year old: PURE AWE 13 year old: interest and questioning of the idea college student: understanding and listening, making connections grad student: PHILOSOPHY OF HUMAN ETHICS Entrepreneur: questioning the neuroscientist lol
so glad you guys got to the point of discussing the concept that consciousness extends into the peripheral nervous system. that's still something so powerful for me to think about at this point in my learning. thanks!
It's a great explanation and discussion of the connectome, but there's more to consciousness than connectomics. The perfect map of connections would certainly be instrumental (I would even say necessary) to simulating consciousness. But, there's more to the communication than the connection map itself. Different kinds of synapses and receptor sites cause different downstream effects (for instance there are excitatory inhibitory and neuromodulatory neurotransmitters), and there's a substantial body of research on the temporal synchrony of neuronal oscillations as really important signals in terms of both their periodicity and phase. So, while it's true that we most likely need to fully understand the connectome to understand consciousness, there is a LOT of metadata for each of the quadrillions of connections comprising it that we need to tack on before we're anywhere close to simulating even a basic process. If we could simulate perfectly all the information present in a human brain, though, we'd also need to be able to give that simulation accurate inputs to process in order to confirm it. For instance, you'd also need to simulate the output of a human eyeball and feed it to a simulated brain in order to have it create a conscious percept. Personally, I think rather than trying to do something like a full human connectome, it'd be a more tractable approach to simulate the simplest possible conscious system, say by simulating the the consciousness of a much less complex brain (like a mouse or a dog), then scale that up. But that's not the only advantage to this approach. I would say that, if you can simulate the most basic of consciousnesses and then successfully scale that up, you would have a better understanding of how consciousness arises (what are the laws governing the architecture that produces consciousness). If we had a perfect model of human consciousness, that wouldn't particularly tell us what in the whole simulation produced it any more than an actual human brain does. If looking at a fully simulated brain did produce consciousness, then on some level, we ought to be able to observe it in a physical brain just as well as a simulation.
This dude was genuinely interested in what the people he was talking to thought about what he was asking them. He seemed especially interested on the “if we put the map in a computer” responses. It’s definitely an intriguing question.
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?
I'm glad that the ethical questions are pondered too. I'm also quite amazed for how far in levels I could follow along. The last level was too much though, but I think that's more because of the language
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
I love how he was challenged on the idea that consciousness mapped as a kind of program is still not the essence of consciousness. Though we know nothing about it we still think we do.
I have so many questions. How do you prevent the destruction of cells in the process of slicing the brain (similar thought process to the lymphatic system research that is coming out lately)? Are the cells that are destroyed vital to understanding the pathways? How does one determine which pathway the electricity will flow through/how strong a particular pathway is? Would they be able to reassemble memories/information if they coded each pathway? Would that pathway coding need to be specific to each person since we all connect different pieces of information with different things (different connotations with everything)? The brain is not an organ that works independently of all other organs. In order to recreate the response the person would have, wouldn’t you also need to factor in the chemicals/hormones of the body as produced by different glands and organs (including their rate and quantity) to get an accurate result? To do that, what would the rate of deterioration of the presumably dead body be to get an accurate result for this? Would this not just be a snapshot of the innate mentality of a person at a given point in time? Would it factor in choices like self-soothing when angry (impulse v impulse control)? Would the algorithm cover psychological differences like afantashia or synethesia? Are the scientists given the medical information or descriptors of the brain’s owner before constructing it and can that result in biased results? What are the disqualifying criteria to be a part of this process? What would be considered a control group if there are disqualifying criteria? I need another video explaining all this! Please!!
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
I saw this video 6 years ago at the beginning of neuroscience career. I was very confused at the higher levels. Now, I watch this and understand the concept so much better. What an amazing feeling!
The thing I wonder about when it comes to memory is how important context is when remembering. Our brains don’t literally store data, they are able to reimagine the thing that happened in real time - inventing the moment again as a hallucination in the present. If that’s the case, wouldn’t you have to create some kind of life simulation that forces the brain to conjure up a memory? Or could you just find programmed ways to force the brain to show its memories? Quite a crazy leap we’ve taken in understanding the brain lately

He seems very nice but as a person with social anxiety, this kind of behavior would me feel like running away

Came here for this! 😍
That 5 year old knows what cells are. That's the 2nd most amazing thing I found about the video
Fair point XD
I was on the same page though. I couldn't even spell my name at 5
What was the most amazing thing to you?
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)
HE'S LYING YOU FUCKING IDIOT
Perfect example of Vygotsky’s “more knowledgeable other” when he’s talking to the 5 year old up to the graduate student. Awesome stuff.
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard since college. Isn’t Vygotsky a bit out of fashion these days? I thought he had been replaced by Bakhtin a decade back.
@@luxborealis they don't really talk about him in my degree honestly. He's mentioned but only as an early opposition to piaget, who is still studied heavily as a foundation
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
The intensity of the headbobbing shows his excitement
phoenixsplash135 ikr I can't even move my head this fast I tried it
I JUST NOTICED THIS, HAHAHAHA
Arvind Sanu 🤣🤣🤣 as an Indian myself I find this so funny and relatable
it's not just the headbobbing, how he's leaning forward and his open posture says so much about how he likes to talk about and explain it to other people
i noticed that, you can tell he loves his field. absolutely adore it.
He's absolutely fantastic at explaining it to each person, his entire demeanour changes and he made each person want to learn about it. It was fascinating to watch.
Has anyone seen a difference between student and neuroscience grad student?
what
Elie4Elite he has more focus on the actual simulation and its impacts on the computer and their implications on mankind. This conversation is based on politics and ethics, not just the science
Rebecca Jade, he shall explain it to Trump supporters, not those people. Trump supporters level are usually 99 to infinity.
The subjects shared one characteristic that facilitated his teaching: a willingness to learn. For many topics, the majority lacks this, especially if the knowledge dares to suggest that incredibly complex things are knowable beyond mystical forces, or conflict with their belief in those forces.
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
I'm a firm believer that if you can explain things either at a shallow or deeper level (a.k.a. you can adjust to who you're talking to) and do it excellently, then you're really good at what you do.

This guy is a great teacher love how positive he is when people don't know something or have differing opinions wish I could speak with him and learn.
I always like watching these because as the level of understanding or complexity of thought goes up, it becomes more of a conversation rather than just an expert teaching a student. I love when this side of science is shown. It's not just the expert talking.

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!
Interesting what the entrepreneur was saying about memory. He mentioned LTP and LDP, which are the most widely accepted models, however my professor is looking into alternate models. This is the beauty of science, things get uncovered constantly. There will always be something to learn
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
@TRP then why do you assume the kid will have lower iq then the neurologist??
TRP And comments like yours are why we can’t have nice things, like better funded connectome research. lol
grad student: *says something*

I loved this. What a brilliant example of trying to explain somethings complicated in a simple way and the other way around.
Great job on the presenter side as well. Especially with younger guests.
It’s very hard for people who think and operate on a certain level to switch to a “lower” one. To adapt to a particular level of their corresponder. And that what makes people who can do it great teachers.
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"
HilBG SAME
Some of my teachers tended to crouch down to speak with me when at my desk. I préfered that than thém just standing over me. Made me uncomfortable
........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...........
lol
Mentally he viewed them all as childlike in comparison. He leaned back the furthest, with the last person.
This dude was mad-dogging the grad student hard. Every 'huh' felt like part of his soul left his body.
I would like your comment but it's at 69

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.

Can this guy do more videos? He seems so down to earth & good at explaining.

Literally that wasn't discussed once.
@@Z0mb13ta11ahase It's basically the entire point of mapping the brain. He said it himself, to simulate our brain map into a computer. Its a form of artificial intelligence. It's not organic intelligence....it's artificial.

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.
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.
The conversation between the expert and the Dr was so interesting that I didn’t want the video to end. I could listen to them for hours!
As we traveled up the ladder i think it became less of an explanation and more of a conversation lol
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*
It is logical and happens with most, if not all, of these. Look at the music one for example as it ends in them communicating through music.
They need to do this for every concept ever. This should be as prevalent as "react" videos. society needs this.
society needs intelligent discussion instead of basic opinions on entertainment media? agreed 100%.
agreed.
This is just more infotainment don't act like this is something super deep
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.

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.
This guy is awesome. It'd be nice to have him around while teaching my apprentice.
The Level 5 conversations are always fascinating. I feel like the awkward third wheel in a conversation between geniuses.
They didn't say anything terribly complex outside of using a few words that we could have understood through studying on the subject.
Omg same
you can stop drooling all over yourself...they are no geniuses, just very unwise smart guys who spent too much time in a classroom. zero wisdom here.
the only difference is that they're taking shortcuts with jargon
they basically skip through any explanation. it's pretty awesome and amazing. you realize a lot of speakers are very educated, basically lvl 5 haha.

I’m a screenwriter and this concept (along with the questions it presents) makes me wonder about the creative process in that a computer with these downloaded connections might be able to arrive at a new idea faster than us- or, it might not be able to generate the new idea at all. I’ve wondered about this seeing as most ideas are made up of information we already possess but have yet to connect. Would a computer with your exact archive of knowledge be able to make the same connections to create your same idea? Would it be able to do it faster as its sole difference is automation?
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

10 months without somebody mentioning "that" particular subreddit? Let's go don't ruin this
It's a great explanation and discussion of the connectome, but there's more to consciousness than connectomics. The perfect map of connections would certainly be instrumental (I would even say necessary) to simulating consciousness. But, there's more to the communication than the connection map itself. Different kinds of synapses and receptor sites cause different downstream effects (for instance there are excitatory inhibitory and neuromodulatory neurotransmitters), and there's a substantial body of research on the temporal synchrony of neuronal oscillations as really important signals in terms of both their periodicity and phase. So, while it's true that we most likely need to fully understand the connectome to understand consciousness, there is a LOT of metadata for each of the quadrillions of connections comprising it that we need to tack on before we're anywhere close to simulating even a basic process. If we could simulate perfectly all the information present in a human brain, though, we'd also need to be able to give that simulation accurate inputs to process in order to confirm it. For instance, you'd also need to simulate the output of a human eyeball and feed it to a simulated brain in order to have it create a conscious percept.
Personally, I think rather than trying to do something like a full human connectome, it'd be a more tractable approach to simulate the simplest possible conscious system, say by simulating the the consciousness of a much less complex brain (like a mouse or a dog), then scale that up. But that's not the only advantage to this approach. I would say that, if you can simulate the most basic of consciousnesses and then successfully scale that up, you would have a better understanding of how consciousness arises (what are the laws governing the architecture that produces consciousness). If we had a perfect model of human consciousness, that wouldn't particularly tell us what in the whole simulation produced it any more than an actual human brain does. If looking at a fully simulated brain did produce consciousness, then on some level, we ought to be able to observe it in a physical brain just as well as a simulation.
This dude was genuinely interested in what the people he was talking to thought about what he was asking them. He seemed especially interested on the “if we put the map in a computer” responses. It’s definitely an intriguing question.

I love how he was challenged on the idea that consciousness mapped as a kind of program is still not the essence of consciousness.
Though we know nothing about it we still think we do.
I have so many questions. How do you prevent the destruction of cells in the process of slicing the brain (similar thought process to the lymphatic system research that is coming out lately)? Are the cells that are destroyed vital to understanding the pathways? How does one determine which pathway the electricity will flow through/how strong a particular pathway is? Would they be able to reassemble memories/information if they coded each pathway? Would that pathway coding need to be specific to each person since we all connect different pieces of information with different things (different connotations with everything)? The brain is not an organ that works independently of all other organs. In order to recreate the response the person would have, wouldn’t you also need to factor in the chemicals/hormones of the body as produced by different glands and organs (including their rate and quantity) to get an accurate result? To do that, what would the rate of deterioration of the presumably dead body be to get an accurate result for this? Would this not just be a snapshot of the innate mentality of a person at a given point in time? Would it factor in choices like self-soothing when angry (impulse v impulse control)? Would the algorithm cover psychological differences like afantashia or synethesia? Are the scientists given the medical information or descriptors of the brain’s owner before constructing it and can that result in biased results? What are the disqualifying criteria to be a part of this process? What would be considered a control group if there are disqualifying criteria? I need another video explaining all this! Please!!
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

I saw this video 6 years ago at the beginning of neuroscience career. I was very confused at the higher levels. Now, I watch this and understand the concept so much better. What an amazing feeling!
The thing I wonder about when it comes to memory is how important context is when remembering. Our brains don’t literally store data, they are able to reimagine the thing that happened in real time - inventing the moment again as a hallucination in the present. If that’s the case, wouldn’t you have to create some kind of life simulation that forces the brain to conjure up a memory? Or could you just find programmed ways to force the brain to show its memories?
Quite a crazy leap we’ve taken in understanding the brain lately
