  • Mice, bugs and hamsters are no longer the only way to study the brain. Functional MRI (fMRI) allows scientists to map brain activity in living, breathing, decision-making human beings. Read Montague gives an overview of how this technology is helping us understand the complicated ways in which we interact with each other.
    TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

    Yes, I would very much like to Read some of Montague's writings.

    Wait, the part I don't get is when he said, "the hub, ironically enough is in Roanoke, VA". What was ironic about it, did I miss something?

    Interesting stuff especially his reminder that we don't know ourselves until we interact with a spectrum of people.

    A number of features of MRI scanning can give rise to risks.
    These include:
    1. Powerful magnetic fields
    2. Radio waves (worse than some radiation)
    3. Cryogenic liquids
    4. Noise
    5. Claustrophobia.
    In addition, in cases where MRI contrast agents are used, these also typically have associated risks.

    I wasn't sure that I would agree with him, but then I'm an introvert. I don't think that I identify myself or who I am through interactions with other people. More people are extroverts, so perhaps that is how they think and identify understanding themselves through relationships with others.

    Some people like to hear what they already know. It makes them feel smart and on level with the speaker. So why? To make people feel a personal equality. Or feel on the same level as the talker and be more open to listening.

    My valuation of that is that it is bad judgement on Montague's part, he just wants to be the center of attention rather than communicate information.
    I just happen to think this the is the area of science the really needs to become like commonplace knowledge if we are ever going to solve our many global problems. The biggest defect in human behavior is in not understanding who we are and how we work - better.
    The corporations, PR and CIA sure do, so it's only self-preservation.

    I feel bad for focusing on the word 'literal' as (over/ab)used in this talk. Humans are 'literal canaries' -- whoah!? I feel bad about it, because this is an amazing talk and *that* is somehow what stands out to me.

  • @MegF142857

    That sounds like "nature vs nuture", which is still open to debate on how much each contributes.

  • @MegF142857

  • @MegF142857
    @MegF142857 12 лет назад

    Remotely linking MRI machines via software to test the interactions of people using game theory that will eventually turn data gathered on interpersonal relationships into mathematical models on understanding mental illness. That's my best shot at what he said, but he really didn't have any actual results to share in the video (IMO). It's in process. Be interesting to know who is funding the research.

  • @TheaDragonSpirit
    @TheaDragonSpirit 12 лет назад

    It's not about being centre of attention. It's about feeling people know something you know in order to open them up more. If you don't grasp this then you don't know what I mean. It's like when someone says 2+2 =4. You know what they mean. When you share information people know they tend to feel more special you could say and in so at the same time there ego goes oh he knows things like me... you drop your guard and become more open. Rather than skeptical. Me I am skeptical. This is dangerous.

    When they began...
    They've always hosted scientists and have an emphasis on primarily science and education.
    They aren't the same thing, of course. That would be silly. Science is a hugely diverse organization of incredibly diligent workers and the process they work within.
    TED brings their findings to the world, and does some other wonderful things, as well.
    Why do they need to be the same thing?
    You think the science talks are pretentious. Well, you're wrong.
