The Mystery of Consciousness and the Vegetative State | Martin Monti | TEDxClaremontColleges

- How can we define consciousness and establish who or what possess it? Martin Monti shares his work including research into developing a method of answering the question of whether some comatose patients can demonstrate consciousness.
Martin M. Monti has been an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Neurosurgery at UCLA since 2011. Prior to moving to UCLA, he obtained his PhD in Psychology and Neuroscience from Princeton University and was a Research Scientist at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge UK. His research addresses two fundamental questions concerning some of the most characterizing aspects of “being human”: ‘what is consciousness, and why do we lose it (and sometimes recover it) after severe brain injuries?’ and ‘what is the relationship between language and thought?’
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Wow - this work is absolutely incredible and well-delivered. It's some of the most important and direct work on understanding conciousness.
I see he is describing the work of another person? The Fmri scan - imagine tennis playing / imagine moving around your home. I don’t believe this chap actually had anything to do with this study ... the guy that did it used it first on a woman who’d be in a vegetative state for ages. He is asking here, the exact questions that the original chap did. I’m off to check the name of the guy I saw interviewed about it years ago.
Adrian Owen?
Amazing talk. Such a pleasure working with you, Dr. Monti!
Monti is a ROCK STAR!!!
I’m so happy n releived to know someone with real creativity, compassion and ingenuity to solve so many consciousness less problems.... I hope you are truly considering the alternative of people being anesthesia awareness. Like I was. They would have just needed to see my brain and know that I was fully aware and able to do anything... but move ....😱
i can't even imagine what you've been through. i am so sorry. im truly happy that you are okay now. i hope you get better. i don't know if you are religious in any way, but i will pray for you 🙏
Awesome talk!
I am so sad that this amazing vid has so few views
Brilliant talk!!
My most vivid memory is the exact moment I first became conscious, the memory of all the senses are very clear to me even at the age of 50.
What do you mean? When was this 'awakening' of yours? Not when you were born I suppose. Very interesting comment for sure.
Amazing, Martin!! xoxo
Just came here after learning about the woman who had been in a vegetative state for 14 years that had given birth recently and I am disgusted. It learn that she might have been consious is horrifying.
Here we have a clever man trying to convince everybody that we are our brain. I believe the brain is like a control panel. Consciousness goes beyond that. I love the movie Glass, science has an explanation for everything, however, theories keep changing. Make some research on NDE, and you find out. But thanks, at least you're a seeker.
Can you explain more? Interesting
Dr. Monti, please help my son. He has severely damaged brain. You are the only one who can help him.
It responds to music and words only by shaking the lids
Please help my son. He loves people and has always helped.
Martin, read Parnia's scientific publications and clinical trials on human soul, near death experiences and consciousness.
My partner with MS fell into a vegetative state 6 days ago in Ukraine. She can open her eyes but has no awareness of time, places, faces etc.....the young doctor here says her primary diagnosis is cachexia. She could be right. Does anyone know the best way to wake a person.....she cant move . Unfortunately they have no EEG, PET, or MRI in her town. How can we otherwise determine how much of her brain is still functioning.
Hello. What's the update?
Will pray.
Believe in yourself n the healing powers that u have as u are an extension of God as is she so why not we try to connect to her inner state of being and see if we can bring her back..
You know.. She may be back all on her own.. She mighta had some stuff to do in the higher dimensions.
She might even be a rescue angel for other consciousness that may have gotten lost in realms...
Alls i know is that the heart brings u back and maybe were never lost in the first place. I dont know but imagination is truly amazing.
on 3 june 2023 my brother went unconscious
His eyes rolled back
...and doctors told us that he has a heart attack and as a result have hypoxic brain injuury...
uptill now there is no complete treatment for this thing..
He was a healthy person before...
Its been 4 months now almost
initially he can only open his eyes with limited look around movement..
now
He can move his lips tongue and eyebrows a little.
And he also started to yawn..
and few times ..very few times..move his elbow,feet finger,shoulder and head a little.
When something is put in his mouth he try to chew it
Almost after a month he started breathing on his own... initially was put on a ventilator
doctors says from now it all depends on patient's will power to secure complete recovery..
He was initially having food through NG tube now doctors have inserted through stomach what they say as "peg tube".
He also have tracheostomy tube in the neck
Also mri scans have shown global or severe hypoxic brain injuury
He is only 33
.
he also produce tears in both eyes..
he cannot even control his head ...
...
Right now he is discharge from the hospital and we are caring for at home we are doing physiotherapy ourselves.
To protect him from bed sores
We are changing his position every hour on bed
My brothers in a vegetative state currently after a bad accident and I'm tryna figure this all out
I guess you’ve seen the effects of some sleep medication on people in vegetive states? I can’t remember the name but begins with an A. Aderol or something.
I hope he recovers fully. Bless you and your family.
How is your brother???
I live in Germany and lost my consciousness but am still able to talk about everything I went through but no one wants to know. It’s no mystery at all. I have so many answers as I went through my soul leaving the body forever and now being in a vegetative state... I guess no one really wants to know. Fckng Limbo.
How long did you lose consciousness for?
@ lilli the German - The same happened to me...
@Dagny Forever No - you don't understand - She's not saying that she's STILL unconscious; she came back, but remembers what went on whilst she was unconscious.
I want to know
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge would you mind telling more about that if its okay?
But why would you like to live like that? In your mind? That’s not living.
interesting talk but the end with his phone conversation was utterly pointless and stupid. anticlimactic
Ted talks, I don't really believe in your channel anymore. I consider your videos as just mare story's, your channel lost its credibility.
You call them mare stories, I call them a horse plays.
