Really glad to see Dr. Ramachandran doing much better than his past talks, where his Parkinson's was really prominent.

self city indeed. From what I understand, in an advanced stage. If you watch some of his older videos (any from roughly 6 years ago) you can see he has a left sided resting tremor, flattening of facial movements, reduced arm swing, etc. All symptoms.

not just that, hes a cool dude. Like he's chill and humble. Good qualities to have when dealing with the mind.

Dr. Ramachandran fascinating as ever.

"When we see something bizarre in science, either it is not real, it's bogus, or you're not smart enough to figure it out. There's something important going on here." wow. Anything VS speaks, me: _write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN_ But legit, he explains these concepts in a super noice manner. Reminds me of Feynman.

Fascinating talk

Just wondering🤔....with Synesthesia, if say you had a person growing up in New York and they see skyscrapers and they have a memory of a tall straight building bathed in strong yellow sunshine and then they learn number 1(one)and they see number 1 as yellow, then another child let's say living in a small rural village in England with no tall buildings and sees a tall white candle, then learns the number 1 would they see number one as white?. Could it be based on your surrounding conditions. Or let's say everytime in your life you heard or saw the number 2 and someone punched you in the arm, you would then associate number 2 with pain(?). Just thought I'd put this out there to see if anybody thinks the same.

i think his argument was that it's hardwired in the brain, and not based on experience. he used the example of somebody color blind that could see colors associated with numbers, but not in the real world. so it's impossible for him to have seen the color before. (fun side note: i remember listening to Richard Dawkins speculating about colors being labelling mechanism by the brain, and he wondered whether bats could use colors to display sounds, instead of visual input)

My calendar is circular. January is at 7 O clock. December is before 6. August is at 2. If you want me to remember when something happened, in my minds eye and sometimes in my physical world, I point or think of that spot on my calendar wheel. It always seemed to give me a leg up on remembering dates.

Can lack of emphaty have something to do that lack of touch and love early in life ; be a reason for mirrorneurons in this area not to grow and form. Leading to a life in the darkness of that area, were the ability to care etc. is greatly diminished. Where tv and materialstic virtues become the channel to form this unatural feelings, hence mirrorneurons based on these signals the illusion gets based towards survival, therefor eating will promote these feelings though the heartfelt kindness is bypassed because neurons (the light of life) cannot feed what is real and what is illusion

I want to like this, but I am struggling to follow it and the comprehension is beyond me. It is more technical the standard typically found on Tedx talk. (ie experts disseminating knowledge into normal-speak). As he refers to it in the video, it is more of a lecture.

@@thelastcube. thanks for your concern Thanda. To be honest Thanda I am more concerned for those non english speaking people who relied on volunteer translators to present the dialogues in their languages, Basically the community contribution service that provides that useful option is under the hammer. The automatic transcription feature should be a available now, it will continue to be available after the September deadline. As I understand it you can apply that anytime. It wasn't very good back in 2011 when it was introduced, but these days its much better and the deaf community will manage. I only protest that the community contribution was being dumped despite an estimated audience of several million it was serving, by an multinational information service that boasts its influence in the internet age. As my grandma used to say "If it aint broke, dont fix it."

CADÊ AS LEGENDAS????????

SÓ O TED QUE NÃO PROPAGA E DEMOCRATIZA O CONHECIMENTO NÃO DISPONIBILIZANDO LEGENDAS EM SEUS VIDEOS. RIDICULO ISSO

Ramachandran, in his opening remarks claims that neuro-imaging is a voyueristic form of phrenology. He says that he prefers to base his theories on the early 20th century approach to understanding the brain --based largely on studies of brain injuries and the changes in behavior and neurological function that are associated to them. This explains why many neuroscientists do not take his theories seriously: Ramachandran's theories are based on outdated models of brain function.

I think he's being more tongue in cheek on that statement plus given the issues with statistical modeling perhaps more a skeptical approach using both paradigms is better. His work definitely is congruent with locality in terms of maps anyways. He mostly is a fan of Occam so maybe highly complicated modeling doesn't suite him. While I know he dumbs down his talks there is an elegant simplicity to his mirror box etc.
