Michael Mosley has areas of his brain turned off - The Brain: A Secret History - BBC

[@hotamali]

coils are placed on his head which generate a large varying magnetic field. This induces varying currents in the brain itself. Not just a shock, they are actually changing what is going on in his brain. Since normal signals in the brain are so complex, this simple pulsating field makes the brain pretty much stop functioning in a certain area.

[@samb9439]

@@subhuman3408 Is the affect permanent though?

[@Kitousha]

@@samb9439 It is possible, yes. We know that by treating certain parts of the brain with r-TMS you can incduce growth of new neural paths and receptors. If combined with a diet and mentally stimulating activities that also encourages neural growth(like video games for example) it could result in long-term to possibly permanent improvement of memory retention. While more studies have to be done, the current data is promising to say the least.

Can this sort of stuff help improve short term and long term memory and mild cases of autism ?

[@etiennefrancois5884]

TMS basically just causes neurons to fire. For memory issues, it's unlikely to help. For one thing, many structures we know are related to memory (like the hippocampus) are deep in the brain, and regular TMS can't penetrate that far. As far as I'm aware, TMS isn't known to stimulate the production of neurons or neural connections (which is how you might hope to improve memory). Even if it is, you would have to use it a lot, which comes with its own risks. As for Autism, that's an extremely complicated condition. We don't fully understand the causes, and trying to treat it with TMS would almost certainly be ineffective.

I hope the electromagnetic shock is not leaving long term damage in the brain that they're not currently realizing..

[@IceMetalPunk]

It's not. It's not a shock, it's just induced activity. Basically, the way a neuron works, part of its activation is voltage-gated channels. That is, when there's a voltage across a neuron, these channels open and start pumping ions out, increasing the voltage more and propagating it down the neuron. So this just opens those channels in a wide number of neurons at once. They're designed to open, and then they close and you're fine.

[@JesusMartinez-og6bu]

@@IceMetalPunk so how do you think an EM pulse fries the gates of electronic devices? precisely using the same method. You trully have no idea and now way to measure secondary impacts of that treatment, they just used the approach of the lowest setting for the shortest time, same as when you go for a TC scan or the likes.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@JesusMartinez-og6bu You just equated a controlled EM pulse to a localized area of the brain with an uncontrolled, high intensity EM pulse to an entire electronic device. That's not the same thing at all. It's like saying "a lightning strike can kill you, so the shock from rubbing your socks on the carpet can, too." There are electronic devices that only *function at all* by electromagnetic induction, by the way.

[@WordsofWisdom2010]

actually that is not what this proves. All this proves is that if you prod the brain you can bring about some effect; this establishes no connection to the mind. this is no different than poking someone with a stick and concluding that getting poked with a stick is irritating. We already know that the brain functions via electric pulses. However, if you noticed, while his brain state was affected by the electric interference, his MIND-STATE remained unchanged. If we were nothing but organic machines, then it would be possible to alter a person's intelligence or brain power just by zapping them with electricity. however, this is known to be impossible. we still do not now how the MIND is connected to the BRAIN. The best we have been able to do is establish a correlation between mind and brain but this is a long ways from a causal connection.

[@MaxLohMusic]

It's pretty certain that there's a 100% correlation between the mind and the brain. But I agree with you, the mind is uncanny, and I don't understand why people blow it off like the mind IS the brain. I'm with Schrodinger -- even if the entire brain were mapped out, I wouldn't be satisfied and I'd still be wondering how the mind arises from all that. And even if science found some sort of "magical consciousness spirit floating around", we'd be stuck with the same question of how that substance gives rise to the mind. It does not appear to be a question that will ever be answered.

[@agimasoschandir]

>then it would be possible to alter a person's intelligence or brain power just by zapping them with electricity< Electroconvulsive therapy. Technically, it is used to alter behavoir, but the predecessor, electroshock therapy, could dull a person that was receiving the shocks. The brain-body is all there is, there is no other mechanism to point to to say that is where the mind comes from. The brain is the only mechanism that the mind *could* come from. Personally think the mind is the brain feeling itself. Think right now about something, what is it you are experiencing? You know the chemicals inside a lump of fat are doing their thing. The mind is the model that is perceived by us of that activity. Maybe you could show the mind is separate from the brain, try an experiment: ask a dead person a question. I suspect that since the person's brain is dead, their mind should no longer exist, but if you do get an answer, try it with a different dead person and see if you can get consistent results. See if you can record this "disembrained" mind; see if other people can also get the same results.

[@WordsofWisdom2010]

Agimaso Schandir intelligence and behavior are vastly different things. it is not possible to zap a person such that they turn into a genius or some sort of mental super power... Also keep in mind that the absence of evidence does not function as evidence for absence - simply because we cannot measure or point to the mind does not tell us anything definitive. contrarily, if the mind was indeed a function of the brain then it should be measurable and quantifiable but this is simply not the case.... at least not yet... the fact that a dead person is dead does not prove that the mind is dead - it is just as intelligible to say that the mind is simply no longer attached to the brain.

[@agimasoschandir]

WordsofWisdom2010 Don't PET/SPECT, EEG, MEG, and fMRI measure functional brain activity? What I was trying to ask in a circumspect way is that if the mind really does exist separate from the body, then shouldn't it be available when a person is dead. And if the mind does exist separate from the body, what chronological age would it exist as?

[@WordsofWisdom2010]

think of it this way - electricity exists independent of say a clock radio. If you smash the clock radio the electricity does not cease to exist it is simply no longer contained within the appliance. "And if the mind does exist separate from the body, what chronological age would it exist as?" This is actually a very interesting question. More pressing might be to ask, if we reconnect with deceased friends and relatives what age would we perceive them as? would they be as we last saw them (old and ragged?) or as they were in their youth? And if the latter, how would we recognize them? I do not have an answer to this. But one can suppose that if the mind does persist into some sort of afterlife, such quandaries would automatically be demystified.
