Everything we know, everything we think, comes from our brain. How do brains manage this remarkable feat? What principles do brains use? Do all brains work similarly? How to account for differences among species and among individuals? Are brains our window to reality, seeing what truly exists? Or are we bound by brains, mental slaves of the meat in our heads?

The Most Enlightened CTT Interview ever
Mr Brain is like i have done my part. Body is like when the lower skeletal muscles do its part then i can only give you what i owe you, successfully.
Wow this is beautiful
The human brain. The location of our minds, ourselves. What could be more relevant to learn about than this?
It’s always weird listening to brains talking about and considering themselves. His brain, through his linguistic ability is talking to another brain that can hear him speak, about the mechanics of his brain thinking about its own structure and workings. He also talks about the brain as if it is just another organ instead of the seat of his conscious being.
Self referentiality, recursion and introspection are fascinating features of information processing systems, I agree, whether we are investigating them in Russell’s paradox, Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, software systems, or our own cognition.
On talking about the brain, it is an organ, and also the seat of our conscious being. It is both, and can be talked about in both ways.
@@simonhibbs887 The brain generates the consciousness which directs the brain. A circular CF, if ever there was one!
There's that scene early in the Odyssey, in which the adventurers start under way, across the dark moonlit sea, sharing a ration of wine and singing, and the goddess Athena rides the bow, willing a fine breeze to fill their sails and guiding their way, beneath the clear stars. That is the finest statement there will ever be, of the human spirit, joyful in its becoming, setting forth to engage its world.
I was addicted to that pheromones smell.
"All of this you can hold in your hand"... If there's a word to describe this it is, for me, the word 'freakish'.
The brain is such a difficult 'thing' to grasp! It needs life to be switch on but it can be held in one hand... 😳
Life is Not a switch that you can “turn on””…………the brain cell(s) are life….
Life is intactness of “all” the cells and it’s extracellular components ….
And it is Not Freakish….
can the cerebellum break down information from causation and send to brain for evaluation, then retransmit planning from brain to the body?
Arnold Scheibel describes fascinating details of brain function. But these are correlations that don't really explain *how* brains function. Correlation is not causation. What is it that *causes* the brain to self-organize into functional specializations? In the context of agency theory, the neuro-plastic brain, as a colony of neurons, is directly analogous to the human-plastic city, as a society of people. Neurons learn by association just as people do (see E Kandel on Aplysia). Cities form into functional specializations just as brains do. Experiences intercepted by bodies wire brains just as history intercepted by civilization self-organizes cities.
Even the simplest organisms are composed of different structures that specialise in specific functions, and even within organs different parts o the organ perform sub-functions of that organ. So this is a general feature of organs, and in fact organisms.

How do brains function? 🤩
Can any of these types of theories be proved mathematically?
Guys shows brains funcions without showing how figure It out though neurosience proceendings. It means he shows brains as map but NOT figure out each funcions though neuroscience process. Wortheless neuroscience.
I understand what you mean, I think. It's a wonder description but I want to know exactly how they research this. I want more detail.
Still, not bad for 8:34 minutes!
But it does not explain the spirit and the (possible) transformation of it. On the otherhand as humans we belong mostly to the swarm. The swarm also is very interesting and not explained yet.
In order to explain the spirit, we first need observational evidence that it exists. It's hard to explain something you have no evidence for that we can study.
@@simonhibbs887 Your spirit is gone.
That means ice cream strategy also applies for porn movies 😂
Did I hear like a gunshot when he said the word "emotional?"
Sounded like a door slamming.
@@stellarwind1946 or maybe something fell off a shelf?
So if you’re a good golfer you probably have a large cerebellum.
That’s not his it works, as we learn more our brain doesn’t need to get bigger. Our brain’s neural networks have plenty of spare capacity to learn such skills.
When did reasonable men start believing in black magic, that a bundle of wires (neurons) can think, feel and act as moral agents? Since when did this benighting of intellect happen?
Clearly something can think and feel, so then we need to identify how that occurs. There are several possible explanations, but very roughly they overall group into the ideas that consciousness is the activity of some unknown phenomenon (dualism or panpsychism), some known phenomenon (physicalism) or that it's fundamental (idealism).
Dualism (of the substance dualist kind) proposes that consciousness is a substance, but it's not clear how being a substance explains anything. We observe physical substances, and commenters are constantly coming here asserting very confidently that consciousness cannot be an object, and a retort to physicalism. However substance dualism is exactly;y the claim that consciousness is an object, and they will often claim that it is unchanging and eternal, which are very object-like properties. Well, if an object can be conscious, or consciousness, why not physical objects? It's not obvious that substance dualism is actually explaining anything.
Panpsychism is similar to dualism (and is sometimes equated with property dualism), but again physical phenomena have properties, it's not clear what special sauce some other property would have that the properties we can characterise and observe don't. Can panpsychists or property dualists say what is about such properties that make them consciousness-like? How should we test for such properties, and what predictions do these theories make?
Idealism I have more time for to a point. It just says that rathe that the physical causing the mental, maybe the mental causes the physical. Again though, for me the issue is that it doesn't make any testable claims or offer any observational consequences. Physicalism suggests that physical changes to the brain should change aspects of consciousness and we see this to be the case. It seems like if physical phenomena we perceive are a result of conscious activity, that conscious activity should be able to change consensus reality, so ESP, telekinesis, or such would be expected consequences of this however massive amounts of research has been inconclusive at best.
So I don't think any claim that consciousness is X, or is caused by X should be taken for granted, but then none should be excluded arbitrarily. I think that everything that exists is causally connected. There must be some connection between the material and the mental. I think the flat declaration that the material cannot cause the mental has the implication that there is no connection between the two, but there must be one of some kind. It is no more credible to me than the claim that the mental cannot affect the material. Of course it can. My mentation is affecting the material right now as I type on my keyboard. However, is that because the mental causes the physical, or is it because, as a physical process occurring in my brain, the mental is causally part of the physical world? We all have our different opinions on that, but we certainly don't have a final answer.
How do brains function?

Everything he says I learnt in the 90's and this is now said to be wrong.

"How do Human Brains Function?"
The physical brain functions as shield to knowledge of our heavenly pasts which is the most important of all functions... the rests are for survival and guidance to our choices...
... yes, the physical brain plays an important role of shielding our aware immortal souls from the memories of our "past spiritual lives" in order for us to have the freedom to believe in a loving God without knowing Him for our salvation...
We lost Heaven (our original home) because we lost faith in a loving God, so, only by regaining this faith without knowing our pasts that we can return Home...
.. otherwise, if we fail to override our prior bad choice by regaining this faith, our prior bad choice of losing faith will remain in effect and so our lost souls will return to a cold dark emptiness (hell) - the state our souls ended when we fell from Heaven... God can not force us to return HOME because He always respects our free choice...
..in other words, our lost souls were NOT sent here TO KNOW but TO BELIEVE in a Loving GOD...
..this is also the reason why our loving GOD can not show solid proof of His existence because it can compromise your freedom to believe without knowing Him...
You need to show this post to your doctor and get your meds adjusted.
@@tomjackson7755 with all the evils going on in this world, it appears that satan is winning... so, you should rejoice, not cry ...
@@evaadam3635 What are you rambling about now? All the evils in this world are coming from your side. Racism, sexism, crimes against children, tribalism, those are all your side.

i find this a bit morbid ...
It’s not morbid…………you just have a Detached and sheltered life….
For many of the commenters on this channel...not very well 😂
With all of the accounts you use that drives the total up. LOL
@@tomjackson7755Lol, still bitter about when I called you out the other day. That's rich that you think I am the same person as the OP in that thread. You know, there is more than just one person in the world that has different opinions from yours. It's not just one guy with thousands of accounts disagreeing with you 😂😂😂
@@100percentSNAFU Obviously you're still bitter about when I called you out the other day. That's rich that you think that you fool everyone with the stories you make up.
