Dear Viewers of these Videos-
These lectures are from my undergrad course The Human Brain, currently being taught in the spring of 2018 at MIT. Lectures will be added as the course proceeds.
Over time I intent to expand, revise, and improve this set of lectures, for which I would welcome your feedback. If you are a newcommer to these topics and find parts unclear or boring pelase let me know. If you are in the field I would particularly appreciate hearing about any errors you catch or any content that you think should be added or removed.
Just send me an email at ngk@mit.edu.

Description of MIT Course 9.11: The Human Brain
The last quarter century has revealed the functional organization of the human brain in glorious detail, including an unexpectedly precise mapping of specific perceptual and cognitive functions to particular cortical regions. This course surveys the core perceptual and cognitive abilities of the human mind and asks how they are implemented in the brain. Specifically, we will explore in some detail a number of distinct domains of cognition like face recognition, navigation, number, language, music, and social cognition, and the cortical regions and networks that implement these functions. Key themes include the representations, development, and degree of functional specificity of these components of mind and brain. The course also emphasizes the inferences that can (and cannot) be drawn from each of the main methods in human cognitive neuroscience. The course will take students straight to the cutting edge of the field, empowering them to understand and critically evaluate empirical articles in the current literature.

I had a repressed memory and when I recovered it there was no going back I had savant syndrome and started doing impossible things with paint and photography. Like, I was seeing automatically the end result and it was hard to document and reproduce it and I had a lot of compulsive negative behavior. I had to just let myself do art and relax. I found the Harmony app and was seeing a psychiatrist at the time. I just coached myself through making mindless abstract art like it could make sense somehow. Two weeks later, I rotated the first one of these I had drawn and it was a complex composition with multiple characters related to one another and symbiotic in their surreal nature. Not abstract like I thought. It looked extremely deliberate. But I never learned to draw sideways. Especially not without any erasing or editing at all. Then I did it again and again again and I still cannot be certain I will do it again.

This is such a valuable video! Such a clear and concise explanation. It takes a lot of skill to break down a complicated subject, into digestible meaning content for learners. Thank you!
