This is being studied by observable behavioral results but it would be valuable to see what's happening deep in their brains which could possibly lead to a treatment for this terrible disease.

Interesting talk! I've wondered, given physical determinism, if free will might be found in our ability to visualize different potential (future) realities. I like the idea that memory's main function is enabling our ability to make those visualizations. Memory enables free will!

Well done Dr. Maguire ! very well explained for a lay audience. In a nutshell, the hippocampus acts as a "hub" for co-ordination of input signals from various brain regions to facilitate construction of a "mental landscape" in space & time.

So the output from the hippocampus is essentially the input from multiple senses encoded for storage in memory? Does that mean it works backwards when recalling memories as a decoder of sorts?

Fascinating stuff. So, put very simply, it would appear that the primary function of memory, rather than to recall the past, is to help us make sense of the present and anticipate the future...

Excellent. Very informative, useful and comprehensible to laymen.

Excellent information and presentation! Excellent questions and answers!

So, the "star trek explanation" is that hippocampus is a sort of a holodeck in your mind, where you can play back and even generate plausible simulations based on limited data.

19:48 ah, that makes perfect sense, that anekdotal or autobiographic memory is so closely linked to the memory of places. That would be why most memory athletes make journeys or memory castles or roman rooms. It is one of the strongest and most flexible ways to bind anekdotes to memory. The next ones in my opinion and experience of memory training would be persons/objects, actions, causes (relational information) and for some people stories. If you have a strong autobiographical memory, using personal touches works a treat as well. And singular or strange things are easier to remember. That´s why I use PECS, making things personal, emotional (or urgent), crazy/peculiar/singular, and specific to attach them to places and autobiographic memory. And I use people and objects for coding systems, which makes it necessary to be very specific. Other people use stories, which is also quite flexible, but that is not my strongsuit, especially under pressure. It seems rats, humans and roombas have more in common than previously thought.

Learned something new today. Thank you.

I have a feeling that good comicbook artists are familiar with the concept of boundary extension and how to use it to shove extra background in to a scene without having to draw it.

@58:00 more recent research into the seat of the self did indeed point towards the hippocampus and more core structures of the brain leading into the spine and contests strongly the former placing of in the frontal cortex (with studies of patients who had no frontal cortex but still had a strong sense of self). So this remains an excellent question also since it is a bit of an ethical one. Like the researcher said, we can´t just stick electrodes in humans, but apparantly we can just stick them in rats. Understanding that rats may have a similar sense of self might open up the ethics of that practice again.

Outstanding lecture & exceptionally engaging. Thank you !

Fascinating lecture Dr. Maguire. I first heard of HM in a lecture by Larry Squires while a student at UCSD. Subsequently I was a grad student in Joseph Altman’s lab at Purdue. Also your taxi driver study is featured in the Brain section of the Franklin Inst. in Philadelphia. The story reminds me of the title of the Firesign Theater album, “How can you be in two places at once when you’re not anywhere at all?” The hippocampus is the bridge between the past and present, able to recall elements of information about past events given current context to imagine or visualize some novel (future?) setting - fundamentallly, the basis for prediction. In the “super autobiographical” patients, a scene is not broken down into iconic elements - dogs, people, buildings, streets, etc. Instead it must be stored like a jigsaw puzzle stitched together only be temporal cues, and cannot be recalled on the basis of a given person, scenes with dogs, the London Wheel, etc. Such individuals do not decompose the world into “common” elements capable of being rearranged intependently of time of acquisition. I am only half-way through but I am willing to bet they have a deficit in REM sleep and dreaming - which relies on the hippocampus. Kudos!

As always, a really amazing lecture. Thank you!

The first thing I took note of was the bananas were ripe, horizontal, sitting on rocks, took up the majority of the picture and there were four of them... in that order. Then I took note of the size of the rocks and ran out of time. (The other pictures were same same.) I then drew the picture as accurately as the in patients. Somehow I don't feel cheated.

Outstanding! Thank you!

On the importance of memory: you couldn´t hear a sound, without your body keeping track of what happened before, since sounds are CHANGES in air pressure, sustained for more than one 850th of second. This is true for more or less all senses, in sight it´s 250th of a second etc etc, so I maintain, that without memory in it´s most primitive form, perception is impossible. We don´t usually think of these processes of involving memory, unless it is in the process of making sense of what you hear or see (categorization), but that is merely shortsightedness.

Can there be a system consisting of only information processing parts? I mean where the results of processing immediately change the environment from which the information flows into the "processor". So in a sense the environment acts as a storage system "recording" the changes. Just thinking aloud along the lines how molecules could have assembled into self-replicating systems, without more permanent storage.

I really Iove these kinds of lectures, but my only problem with Ri is with the sound. Couldn´t you try to pass the audio track into a "S" suppresser. The "ssss" are extremely annoying. Same thing with Tara Shears lecture on antimatter.

This was a great lecture. The bananas scene was definitely food for thought, yes I know, I made a funny. Anyway, I personally didn't have a problem remembering that the bananas took up most of the scene. It's not that I'm unable to imagine beyond that, I just remembered what the scene looked like. When comparing sizes of images, my eyes saw the second images as larger but my brain told me that they must be the same size or there would be no point to the demonstration. I think we see the second image bigger because of some kind of auto anticipation. Normally when something in the real world flashes at us, the object is coming toward us. To me it seemed to have something to do with that.

@achatinaslak742

Жыл бұрын

I totally agree !

It may be that the majority did not fail but were more honest with their response! They said how they see the object on the screen and not what they should have seen. But the reason why the second image seems larger may be the effect of recognition that makes the image perceived more clearly and in more detail.

Excellent presentation! I did draw bananas which took up as much space as in the picture, though! =(

Interesting question about rat place-cells. (1) Even if the place cells were identical in 2 rats (unlikely), it is most unlikely you could record from the “same” one in 2 different rats. (2) Space is relative, so the place-cells presumably fire in a spatial pattern relative to some fixed cue - position of a food reward or visual cue for example. So, what if you have a rat that on 4 successive days shows the same pattern of place cell firing when always fed at some point (e.g. 12:00 on the arena) and then change the reward location to 5:00 for 4 days. Would the place-cell firing re-orient also? (Of course all other possible orientation cues would have to be controlled for or masked).

hello, I am 45 years old, I have recently tried to memorize many Algorithm cases for solving 3x3 rubiks cube, each algorithm tackles a partial solving state that targets a particular position on the cube. Exampe of 1 case: [(y') U2 R2' U2 R U R' U R2] then I move on to the next partial solve. and so forth, I have managed to know such algorithms from my memory and can find them and even write them down, but what troubles me is the practical side of implementing these tasks. they are memorized but not memorized enough to be practically used. What other attributes/additionals of long term memory can be useful to me.

@41:54 I have to contest this methodology. The conclusion might still be true, but it cannot be concluded from the setup of this experiment. The "masking image" had a much smaller object in it, the process of animation or gluing together of subsequent images to create a movement, which is well documented and will start way before 42 ms at around 3ms under normal stress levels, would make a subject record an increase in size, leading to a logical conclusion of a closer object. So this could very well be and is more likely to be a case of priming, context and animation. The same experiment would have to be done with a bigger object in the masking image and if the results are then still conclusive, only then might we consider this to be an effect of background extension. It seems a perfectly reasonable hypothesis, but just not very well isolated in this particular experiment. Also, if the subsequent explanation were true the masking image wouldn´t need to have an object in it at all and that gets me wondering, why there even is an object (green smiley) there. The picture test can have an alternative explanation too. It might be, that being "stuck in the present" made them more attentive and therefore better artists, because what all the regular folk showing background extension missed is analysing the layout or composition of the picture of the four bananas and finding that the bananas touched the border of the picture on both sides, were horizontal and had the concave part up, forming a sort of cup but mostly horizontal bent line and then estimate the angle of the background´s incline, so as to estimate the decrease in apparant size of the stones in order to reproduce the overall effect. 15 seconds is ample time to do this with some training, which I´d argue they have had spontaneously, because of their condition. I had to teach loads of students not to draw what they knew, or thought they saw, but what they actually saw. Which means, you have to step out of your normal view of reality and look at it as if it is already on paper and then just trace it. This method increases drawing quality dramatically within hours and revealed to me that most people, without this training see the world symbolically in stead of actually around 90% of the time. Midieval artist got this training of composition and perspective by painting on a slab of glass, closing one eye and keeping their head really still. We still have pictures of devices to help them do just that. They discovered all kinds of principles like contrapunctive ordonance, layering and "coulissen", that would increase depth-perception of an image. Cues that would help imagining a scene. So, while I do believe background extension is something that exists, this to me isn´t very convincing proof. Maybe this is just because it is "dumbed down" a bit and very much is omited, but this is the Royal Institution and it seems a bit too speculative.

I thought that the hippocampus was related only to the encoding process of memory, and it's amazing to realize that it also plays a role in the retrieval process. Is it safe to say that the memory retrieval role of the hippocampus resides on the posterior portion of it?

All of our features are characterised by normal distribution, if something is sticking out, then we might expect some malfunctions in some point of the system.

I've got a question, as I have followed this Presentation as being part of it: Referring to the perspective test with the Bananas, I drawed them proportional to the picture, and also added the almost unseen 4th banana and the elevation caused by the possible 5th one in the background. I also saw both pictures (the one with the shovel and the one with the sewing thread + needle) as being exactly the same. I also occur not to suffer any kind of dementia nor amnseia. A possibly important information is that I have consumed THC prior to the video. Given the case I weren't using any kind of neurostimulant, just for the sake of the question, what would this say about my Hypocampus and it's functionality? And in the case of prior consumption?

Interesting! to some extent I'm sure that can be correct, yet posterior to this video I've been informing myself about perception, and how different types of people put more value to deterministic information, rather then context information (analytical view vs practical view, "What describes a scene, and what's useful information about said scene"). This could be the case in most Introverted people, as this ones (to wich I count myself) tend not to value smalltalk and trivial themes, as opposed to philosophical or ideological discussions. In short form: Introverted people (Or the psychology of the Introverted mind) try to achieve maximum comprehension about that what interests them, and in this case, the tests subdued to the watchers were, in this case, the focus of my attention. My guess still is that premises like the one showed in this video are still on the very surface about our knowledge about ourselves and our brain functionalities. There are just too many factors not taken into consideration that to some extent, the results are vague, maybe just hinting with little leads facing to a bigger, more influential factor about the "personalities" of human beings.

@moy2010

10 жыл бұрын

Yep, it's really interesting :D. In my current point of view, those who put more value to deterministic information, or consider that the output of that specific situation cannot be altered, are those whose amygdala has damaged their hyppocampi, affecting both the encoding of new memories (by difficulting LTP, impossibiliting further process of the situation by the prefrontal cortex, etc.) and the memory retrieval process (as seen in this lecture). Otherwise, those who put more effort or time analyzing the context of the situation (making more assumptions, retrieving more correlated facts or memories, etc.) are those whose prefrontal context silences their amygdala, thereby taking control of the situation. Therefore, those who have a more amygdala-shifted processing have simplier personalities and faster, yet simplier decission making skills. Because this damage doesn't extent only to the "personalities" of individuals, but also to their capacity to handle more difficulty situations, their learning capacity, etc., is why it's so important to use this knowledge to make adjustments in our educational policies, our judgement of empathic situations, and so much more. Pretty much, our vision of the world and human interaction.

What about the possibility of a natural occurring "unbalance" in brain activity? Similar to the ones observed in gifted children, to whom I consider myself one; We tend to have totally normal social skills, yet we tend to prefer working alone. Empathy problems aren't usual either, yet our brain activity is above normal when concentrating. Detail perfection is something that I can but don't want to dodge. It's also true that social connectivity might drain our energy, in the means of wanting "a moment of peace", referring to a short period of time in which we enjoy being "left alone" (not to be confused with being "alone"). Could it be that a lack of logical errors happening in perceptions of non-normal brains are described as failures in brain activity? If so, we should learn to differentiate between an "error" and a "malicious/benign mutation", as for the existence of geniuses is factual, and their brain activity abnormal (compared to a "normal" person).

@moy2010

10 жыл бұрын

Well, AFAIK what you mention is a common misconception. The so called "gifted kids" do not have brain activity above normal when concentrating. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. This is due to the fact that it's easier for them to process the information. Another fact is that an above normal brain activity is really exhausting, thus making it easier to stress the individual and stop the concentration or analysis. The processing of emotions is done equally regardless of your IQ or your gift. The distinction would be somewhere in between the emotions and the feelings (Antonio Damasio is a great reference on this subject). Why gifted kids tend to be alone? I would rather blame the society, since their social interactions are rather difficult and they tend to become even harder as they grow up.

I find the drawing from memory demo somewhat lacking in that there is much to be said about people's drawing capabilities. By that I don't mean the lacking realism of the photos, I mean that most people will start with the bananas, but most people will also be poor judges of the room the finishes work will take, so in an effort to not extend the borders of the paper, they will tend to make them smaller. This is best seen with people who turned out to actually be somewhat proficient at drawing. They were closer to the right ratio, but they still saved some space on a reflex. Only when you're finished reserving the space for bananas do you realize how much more room is left, and it is only then that you start filling in the surplus room. Had they been given something more easily defined, such as a couple of geometrical bodies with clearly defined positional and size relations, I think the results would have been much more precise, even if said object were placed in similarly textured surroundings. What I'm trying to say is that I'm not sure this phenomenon could really be fully ascribed to boundary extension as easily as it has been.

They remember what they ate at meals, what they did, what day it landed on, who they were with, things people said, what shows they watched and which episode, what was on the news, the weather. They remember everyday of their life. There are no gaps after the age they start remembering at. The ages at which it starts varied but it was from like 4-7 yrs old. It is absolutely insane. They just discovered them maybe 15-20 years ago because some lady was complaining about it. Then when they did a story about her, other people were like "remembering like this isn't normal?" They just thought they had good memories and other people had bad memories. They all love it but not the original lady that they found. She is miserable because she focuses on all the bad stuff that was said to her. It's really interesting.

What is the learning memory type of persons in the audience? Some people are visual learners. Being able to give the correct answer because they are visual thinkers ?Age and speed of processing ability of the person could make the difference? Before or after TBI or brain surgery including IQ with and without learning disability? What are the details of the theory used for researchers related to each patient before and after cognitive changes?Recall? History of convergent vs divergent thinking? How we are taught to learn and how we can ?

@@nxstress Thanks also for your reply Peinappl, so your material life has changed over the last 5 months and when you mention being locked up inside your head from cages you allowed others to trap yourself in, this is something that been happening to us humans for centuries and breaking free of it as you say is what we aught to do. Glad you are being who you want to be now and taken control of your situation. Will still mention that your are fortunate to realise something that others like myself spend years trying to achieve, namely your exterior perception of a scene.

The last slide shows some images from a paper "Hassabis et al., 2009". That is Demis Hassabis, the founder of DeepMind who created AlphaGo.

A real deep thinker (LOL).

I did the 'Spatial Space Test ' and had Less space in the background... not more... My head must be mush

When quoting Alice in Wonderland within the context of Science or Mathematics, I think it is important to inform the listener that the writer of the Alice Saga was not an author, but a Mathematician, and that the entire Wonderland adventure is likely just an allegorical expression of our mathematical reality, written by someone who, despite being renowned for their greatness, was likely yet greater.

I do believe this is the first time ive heard someone call memory a skill relating to future rather than the past ... or have i just forgotten ...in all seriousness it does seem that since its always now anything involving thought and planning has to be about intention of reimagining yoursrlf as already there

The idea has been around for 30 years. Heck I wrote about it and tested a total retro and anterograde amnesic vis a vis episodic and semantic future oriented mental time travel in 2002 and Della Barba (and others) a year earlier.. Turns out I and the rest were wrong, but that certainly will not stop the academic careerists from continuing to milk the assembly line of "knowledge".

I wonder if the play cells are linked to relevance. You know, data you think might be useful and kept for future reference. Probably why we experience deja vu?

The flashing image doesn't really test memory. Rather, it demonstrates that the brain takes more than a quarter of a second to comprehend what is being seen.

i guess you didnt watch to the end :-)

how do you assess the MRI while person is using driving game? in 23:18 min???????

HM was an awakened individual!

This is true about memory I know that as I had a burst aneurism near my right epycampus which obviosly needed repair before the blood pressure around my brain stopped functioning and I would officially have deceased as a consequence my memory is caput and because of no short term memory cannot visualize a future so she is correct with living life in the here and now

Love rat Q & A at the end of this dissertation.

I was there, a fantastic lecture

Should I be getting a neurological evaluation? I didn't make any of the errors she mentioned were normal.

I'm almost like H.M.: I remember what I did earlier today, and usually yesterday (with effort), but every day before that is lost, unless I am given a clue. I do remember better when important things happen, though not as well as most people. It makes me sad, especially when my wife says something like "remember the first time we went dancing?" and I don't. Maybe I should get my brain looked at

I find it interesting that every time a text is displayed and read aloud Eleanor adds words to that text on her own which are not in reality present in that text. The first "memory" experiment given to the audience didn't rely on memory at all. It's about saccades. Most people were unable to see enough information in the initial image to make a memory or comparison. It's a cheat and has nothing to do with boundary extension.

researching...why I get lost so easily and have such a bad sense of direction. Aerobic exercise has helped some.

this video has enraged me , I loved learning about memory and also to see video of navigation skills.

That is because psychological pronouncements follow the lead of Procrustes -- we fit the phenomena to the method. If the phenomena does not fit, we truncate until what remains does.

thanks
