Intro to Neuroscience, Overview and goals

This course introduces the foundations of neuroscience, from the biochemistry of neurotransmitters, the electrical basis of action potentials, to the computations performed by neural circuitry and the social implications of atypical neural function. This video introduces my goals for the course and lays out a wholistic approach to understanding brain function as a complex, integrated system.

I am a retired Mechanical Engineer that never took a biology class in high school or college and have been listening to your Introduction to Neuroscience class for the last 2+ weeks. Absolutely fascinating and informative on many different levels explaining what makes us humans tick. I must say a lot is over my head but have found it so interesting I will take the whole class again to understand more of what is going on within our mind and bodies. Thank you for creating such a great course

[@shriyamishra7]

I'm a psychology student and I'm very much interested in neuroscience. I loved this video! Thanks so much! ☺️

[@sonali8528]

I'm going to start my graduate studies soon, so I wanted to brush up on my memory and learn new things. This is when I stumbled upon your channel. As someone who dreams of branching out further and embracing a career in Neuroscience someday, I find your lessons very encouraging, informative, and engaging. Thank you so much, Dr. Brunton. (Looking forward to seeing more videos from you!)

[@DaviidReiis]

I’m very excited for this lecture. I’m considering doing a master’s in biomedical engineering. I finished watching Steven’s lectures on dynamical systems and complex analysis and now I’m craving for more. Thank you for doing this

[@Itsonlyme43]

I came across this video, and I finished it without yawning ! Thank you Dr Bruton ! I love your lectures! Despite being in my 40s , I love learning new knowledges , craving to learn more about our brains and neuron’s.

[@HackionSTx]

Dr. Bing Brunton, I got here from a recommendation from Dr. Steve Brunton. I started watching from the oldest videos so I came here to say: THANK YOU! You are so awesome for sharing this knowledge with us. I'm a CompSci student from Brazil and I also love Neuroscience and Bioengineering.

[@uuitgaurav]

I am doing engineering in computer science and somehow I found myself watching this video.

[@andrewm4894]

Same. Not complaining though, it's great :)

[@uuitgaurav]

@@andrewm4894 yep somehow I love these out of path information.

[@wenhanzhou5826]

I am doing physics and I still somehow got here lol

[@joaodecarvalho7012]

She seems like a great teacher.

[@armandopaz3457]

This is an extraordinary introduction. Thanks for it. I´m a Neuroscience teacher in a small town in the South of Colombia. We can´t do research as we´d like to, but internet links us to great people like you. And excited about this course and inspired about the beautiful way you teach.

[@bingsbrain]

Glad the video is finding people all around the world! ❤️

[@meowran7778]

Dr Brunton, thanks for posting this lecture series on KZbin where I, a senior at a different university, am able to take a class I didn't have the time for in my major! Neuroscience is so fundamental to understanding biochemistry!

[@bingsbrain]

Thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy the videos.

[@jameskirk5778]

excellent lectures just like Steve Brunton's online classes. My background is applied mathematics and now machine learning but I was in doctoral program in bio engineering at Berkeley a long long time ago in what was the early stage of computational neuroscience. It was a better choice to jump deep into the emerging tech world than a 7 year PhD program. The field was just starting with Marr at MIT kick starting it. Now it is fun to go back

[@Hun_Juli]

Neuroscience is one my hyperfocus as an autistic girl, i simply love to know how the brain works and how it explains how society work.

[@phillipwong1497]

A very interesting lecture. I appreciate your effort and your generosity,

[@vitaliimakarov6181]

I am very excited for this course, and can’t believe that it is available absolutely for free! We live in such incredible time.

[@JulioSantirachi]

I am going to love this course. Thank you for doing this, greetings from Argentina! :)

[@Dmitry_Tomaryshyn]

I found out about your course from my friends at the University of Calgary, Canada. I am a first year biomedical engineering student from Ukraine. I find your lectures extremely useful for me, as our curriculum does not include neuroscience, and my main area of interest is neural interfaces. Thank you very much Dr. Bing Brunton

[@bingsbrain]

Thanks for the kind note!

[@aditya_a]

Sweet! Lookin forward to the next lectures

[@CaptainBlackthorn]

Awesome video, excited to watch more!

[@noahcastelo7081]

such a fantastic intro, i'm hooked :)

[@veronicatbartonesq]

I love this format, Bing! Ryan sent it to me as an example. It's so much more interactive and beautiful than a Loom-style presentation.

[@BlueBirdgg]

Thank you for your series.

[@tonyacaldo8947]

You are awesome, thank you so much for doing this!

[@deeplizard]

Love your high energy!

[@Jack-vv7zb]

a super engaging introduction. good job

[@henleycheung3615]

thanks, Dr. Brunton

[@fubuorelse]

very well presented first lecture - listened while walking my dog and have subscribed. Bing presents material in a clear, emotive way which is fun to listen to.

[@-dennis3755]

I'm just putting this on so the room wont be silent but I feel as though I am going to learn a lot

[@drsagarbhalke5518]

As a psychiatrist, I am excited for more! Hooked…

[@cheetahgoldenfire]

Very exciting im hooked!

great intro！

[@ajit_edu]

Many thanks Bing. I was looking for a course on neuroscience, and thia the place to be.

[@rjarpa]

This going to be nice I'm fighting with my current Thesis in Neuroscience, I'm eager to find some extra info to complement my research specially with dynamics system aspects.

[@hanyelbanna3673]

I appreciate your great effort you help us to make a great progress in our research 👏 Many thanks Go on May Allah bless you ❤

[@julianamoah5135]

Thanks for this video series. It is really insightful. I have an interview for a PhD in Neuroscience how do I prepare for the interview ?

[@joesephrameka6616]

Q: What would happen if you were to close your eyes and then walk across a highway, will your brain see for you, or do you need your eyes to see so the brain can process the information the eyes are seeing

[@jhoncharlesdf.1599]

It's amazing, but I can't find it, and nobody talks about it; How much energy in joules or watts does our brain produce for an average person? how much energy produced in middle-time before death?

[@AIsachenka]

❤👌👍

[@manir7561]

Is there any particular career road map for people who interested in the intersection of brain science and ai?

[@bingsbrain]

This fascinating intersection is rapidly growing, so I don't see a specific road map. I think people like you get to make the road map as you go along! Follow topics as they interest you, and I encourage you to identify small projects to build your skills by doing.

Go slow lol

[@iheavense]

How far are we from quantitively understanding our brain with its functioning?

[@bingsbrain]

In my opinion, relative to our quantitative understanding of many physical systems, very far! But that's what makes it exciting -- there is lots to discover.

[@iheavense]

@@bingsbrain interesting! Is it theoretical models or experiment data/measures that needs most attention or is more promising in the foreseeable future?
