6. Introduction to the Human Brain 

Bless MIT and this professor for providing this resource.

Bless Nancy and Bless MIT for recording MIT lectures

The snake problem is great. Tons to chew on there. What a great example for the discussion of experimental design. Thanks to Dr. Kanwisher and MIT for publishing this.

from lesson 1 to here, thank you again

Such a good course and professor.

She is very good with the padagogy

1. A very good control condition for snake photo is as prof stated, tree branch lying on ground. Coming from snake country, i would often be running in nature, including mountain elevations, when i would jump away from such a small branch, years later. 2. Baseline rate is best tested before and after the stimulus run. Some differences in area arousal, if occurring; and possible opposing information, through which to learn limit of specificity more closely. 3. DMN is internal focus, but research has shown that individuals vary in rumination. For some DMN rumination is social, arousing competitive , resentment, and other negatively valenced thoughts. Others may be relaxed during DMN, visualizing either more pleasant reverie, or planning. DMN , can vary, with its only commonality absence of significant sensory or motor activity, though it may vary if imagining motor activity. (and the huge roar of rotating MR generator eliminates any real baseline normality of brain activity, anyway, unless very insulating earphones) So, baseline is best created with researcher instruction to perform a specific mental activity.

How cool is this. High level education. Thank you very much. I'm psyched.....😂😂

Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up ❗👍👍👍👍👍

MORE OF THIS COURSE PLEASE

Wow this course came at the right time, I was just recently planning on majoring in neuroscience

Excellent lecture. 💯

I love this course! I want to join your research team one day!

Very interesting and very accessible. She does get into problems with time a lot though.

She sounds so friendly wow

My auto-associative memory is off the charts. And it has much to do with counting without numbers or drawing without knowing what I’m drawing perfectly sideways. It’s like an engine being systemized and it can churn particular “calculations” without me determining it’s going to tackle that problem.

Thanks 🤍❤️

I am not in college & yet I am enjoying this video.

Excellent 🙏🙏🙏🙏

For my own reference: Substraction logic/method Confound

I love this women

Here's an interesting question: Why do animals such as dogs, cats, and monkeys seem to look humans in the face...I mean not just the face, but always with eye contact? This thought is kind of creepy...are they trying to read or interpret some form of emotional context? I'm loving this MIT channel on RU-vid...it's adding a lot of value to the RU-vid experience! Thanks for sharing!

This is helpful 🤍❤️

Must be the 1st time in my life I'm frustrated to not participate in a group exercise. Damn. Such a good professor

There is any possibility that the FFA and the OFA some how are connected at the thalamus?? Since there are more axons going backwards from the visual area to the thalamus than viceversa?

Stimulating V1 nothing happens, maybe a flash of light… and what about An out-of-body experience was repeatedly elicited during stimulation of the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus on the right side?

I still find it incredible that I have access to this kind of knowledge! OK, I have a question is there any paper researching if our brain works linearly in regards of face recognition? For example, if I know a person, that I haven't seen let's say for a decade, is it more easy to recognize it from an recent photo or from a photo of its childhood? How does our brain cope with reconstructing a face through time?

Prof. Nancy is really cute, and lovely. Like this course a lot!!

I think the 35:00 simple terms reiteration for scientific papers is something each and every science focused lecture should go about explaining.

omg, I am in love, i had stroke last year from spike proteins, I believe.There is healing goodness and wise family.

now we know who sneaking on our brain without our consent

Grooves

Could someone link some articles that relate to this course material or maybe some that are referenced in the lecture

Isnt experimental design right title?

Shouldn't this lecture be named "Experimental Design" as indicated at the start of the video? (Rather than repeating the title of the first lecture)...

professor kinda reminds me ofRobin Wright :))

So sorry Nnnatta

♾️🦋

Sry

Time better with 3 desimals or?Lol

Wonderful work May Allah bless you Thanks

49:46 Nancy comments that she could not find the part of the mind that reacts to snakes, maybe that is because it is literally imprinted in our bodies so we react before we can even think about it. Jordan Peterson had mentioned this while discussing evolution, snakes, and the bible. Just a thought, remember him saying something about the reaction imprinted in our spinal cord.....

i read recently that monkeys recognize each other by there butts as easily as their faces, probably because animals evolved from herd species where the animals followed each other in line face right against the butt of the next animal, would be interesting how this butt recognition brain areas maps on all your data, and just so u dont feel too superior to the monkey or herd animals, it seems humans still have quite a bit of butt focus especially in the less educated classes. based on music videos and such. do monkeys twirk do chimps. could be the title of the lecture when the data is collected.

Oh, damn. I was looking for an introduction to a 'Massive ....uh Brain'. Anyone know where THAT is? Trump University? Oh great! Thanks!
