Human brain mapping and brain decoding. | Jack Gallant | TEDxSanFrancisco

How can we find systematic relationships between the self and the world? By mapping the brain says Jack Gallant, and he is sharing beautiful brain imaging tools and visuals to show us. Jack Gallant is Chancellor's Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, and he is affiliated with several other departments and graduate programs at UCB (EECS, Bioengineering, Neuroscience, Biophysics, Vision Science). He received his Ph.D. from Yale University, and he did post-doctoral work at the California Institute of Technology and Washington University Medical School. He is known for his neurophysiology work on the representation of natural scenes, the function of area V4 and its modulation by attention; and for the development of the voxel-wise modeling approach in human fMRI and its application to vision, attention and language perception. His current research program focuses on computational modeling and mapping of human brain activity under a wide variety of naturalistic conditions. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I’m a bit worried about this professor’s lack of perceptible empathy for people as anything more than his lab monkeys with such invasive technology. I’m an experienced software developer, also have a degree in psychology, and I follow neuroscience regularly. I’m fascinated by the potential, but I get a scary vibe from this guy.

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

It is *not* a computer. Computation is not the underlying function. The brain is a signal processor, but it also regulates hormones and body functions. It's a control system. We can model this computationally, and the field of study of computer-neuron synergy is called cybernetics.

[@briangalindoherbert]

Exactly! He lost me right at the start- I thought, this guy has no clue about the brain versus talks I’ve heard from neuroscientists like David Eagleman or Anil Seth!

I think irrational and rational examples should be observed for a long time. Because the brain perceives what it sees, hears, in short, by reproducing it. In this context, contrast can be created by keeping the level of non-correlation high in order to model the reconstruction reflex.

My brain has been "taken over" (fixated) by several things. Populous: the beginning (Tetris effect), "paranormal" stuff (a much younger me), UFOs (UAPs), SCPs, Minecraft... The Minecraft and SCPs was the most interesting ones to me. Everything I looked at was interpreted as Minecraft blocks and was incredibly easy to replicate in Minecraft. For the SCPs, well every thing became an SCP for about a week. Just going to the store had my brain fixated on explaining the concept of "shopping" as a sinister and mysterious concept to me. It was absolutely fascinating and makes me understand how easy it is to fall into a hole of conspiracy theories and get stuck there. I concider myself a rationalist, but I enjoy a trip down the rabbit hole every now and then.

Veteran Affairs Medical Center, Cleveland Ohio employee believes they are targeting employees with scalar, Q waves to study their brain mapping against their consent and knowledge. Employees have informed me they have also experienced similiar experiences during the work day. Uncontrollable verbal outburst, similiar to a Tourette like symptom, often followed by an intermittent low frequency sound with the onset of a trance like feeling making them get up and walk a route not needed at the time to complete the task they were currently working on, or a numbing feeling where they can no longer concentration with a hazy mind being filled with unsuitable workplace questions, a mental flooding of past traumatic images or new images of items never seen. Leadership blushing when mentally blasting them quietly in ones head, which is often followed by reprecussions of workplace harrassements. Its hard to prove but I think the recent retiring of our Cheif of State, Medical Center director, and DARPA grant for neuroscience brian mapping and other quality improvement research grants where the PIs own the research data no longer having to share collectible i formation with the VA is also a possibility a rogue group of unethical, scientist who have no problem violating ones natural privacy right to their individual humanity feel they can produce a smarter more effecient employee. The real problem is its taxing on the neurosystem, scalar waves are used to heal but not everyone wants to let go of their past traumas to breakfree into some new brain controlled rewired neuromapping. Its hard to believe some employees are happy just the way they are. Cleveland VHA has suffered numerous employee suicides and I do believe its from scalar /Q waves from the agency taxing their hearts which in return data feeds their stroke study..etc Please speak up. If its happening here its probably happening at other locations. TAX dollars wasted let individuals do their job.

This is a problem I have with the current understanding of psychology. The brain changes. I've read certain foods somehow cause the same chemicals in the drugs they prescribe. If you ate something that converted into serotonin then I would think your serotonin levels would be temporarily higher. So I don't know what to think about the chemical imbalance. I have a theory that part of schizophrenia is a sleep disorder. I compared it to sleep paralyses, although not the best comparison. I wondered if when you wake up your dream still acts like you are in the dream world and that is where the hallucinations come from.

[@GG-vl9xq]

Most of the time, people who go to a psychologist, won't accept the "change to a healthy lifestyle; healthy food, good sleeppattern and regular activity" take. People like a magic pill instead of changing their lifestyle. Even if you tell them, most of them can't change their bad habits that easily and some will even deny the truth of it. Plus, mental problems in general are complex. Even if we know certain foods or pills can help, most of the time it is not enough. Just drugs aren't effective to a majority of patients/clients. The combination with therapy is proven to be more effective but even that isn't 100%. If it was that easy, the amount of struggling people would have decreased long ago After watching these kinds of videos it seems like changes are easy and simple. But the moment you step into a psychiatrie you will see how hard it is to really change. It's possible, that's why we still do it and try, but it's hard. And it always goes hand in hand with the knowledge that there is a big chance the patient will come back (sometimes pretty fast while some several years later).

schizophrenia symptoms come and go. They don't always evolve around sleep or lack of sleep. However, there could be some related research of comparing the state of mind of dreaming vs hallucinations.
