Decoding the Brain 

Thank you for having these talks on a public forum for no cost. It means so much to so many of us who would not otherwise be exposed to such rich ideas and concepts.

The brain is the only organ to name itself

Man, we're so blessed to have these types of things freely available.

Thanks for this video! It is facinating to see all these highly qualified professionals to share their thougths and studies about our brain!!

Brian Greene is so great at facilitating these talks and helping to get the point across for laymen. These are fascinating topics and it's amazing to realize we are at the very beginning of our understanding of how this all works.

Absolutely the best most fascinating discussion panel I have seen, partly because of the subject itself and mostly thanks to all participants’ contribution of their great and inputs of deep thinking! It has made me speechless.

I thank Mr.Brian Green for organizing such seminars in Science from which students and teachers of Science can get a lot of valuable information and knowledge.

I truly appreciate the work done by Brian Greene to broaden his own view of the world and the willingness of these experts to put their opinions on the line.

The human brain is far more sophisticated and complex than any brain can imagine. 😀

Amazing videos. I appreciate all the efforts you put on science. Science is my passion & I respect every single scientist who provides to our world & understanding it🙏🏻🌹

Thank you so very much. Too few have been blessed with higher education. The presentations are wonderfully accessible , even easy to understand, for all levels. This World Science Festival channel is a huge gift to humanity. We are each UniNotes comprising our melodic Universe.. Joy

"the brain is the most complex structure in the entire universe". The brain.

I recently found this channel, kind of by accident, and I have to say that the videos I've watched in the topics that interest me have been FANTASTIC. Amazing work coordinated and skillfully organized and orchestrated by Mr. Brian Greene and his awesome and incredible panelists, who are so wonderful about sharing and discussing the topics, not only educate us but also entertain by holding our interest throughout. Fantastic and Amazing are not good enough to fully express my feelings nor adequate words of gratitude, but *Thank you!* Keep up the great work!

Brian is such a great speaker. His tone, emphasis, and intelligence makes him so soothing to listen to!

Thank you, Brian, for hosting this interesting discussions on brain research, you are a smart brain, look forward to your next show.

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing your knowledge about this amazing organ in our body.

Our brains are a quantum entangled neural network. The neuron is a complex standalone processor, a functional node in a neural network. Individually we only control a single neuron (node) which ties into our entire nervous system. We all exist inside of each other's neural network otherwise we couldn't share an experience. Atomic nuclei are binary switches with a twist. An atom consists of one or more of these simple binary switches fused together to produce the binary equivalent of a byte. The 0s and 1s in binary represent OFF or ON, respectively. In a transistor, a "0" represents no flow of electricity, and "1" represents electricity being allowed to flow. In this way, numbers are represented physically inside the computing device, permitting calculations. Atoms are built from quarks, two up quarks and one down quark produce a proton. Two down quarks and one up quark produce a neutron, they are interchangeable. A neutron is unstable outside of the nucleus of the atom and will decay into a proton. Protons are stable outside of the nucleus. Neutron "0" represents no flow of electricity. Proton "1" represents electricity being able to flow. The carbon atom for example represents 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons. That makes up the nucleus of the carbon atom, so it represents a 12 bit byte. Each proton and neutron represent a single binary digit. A single carbon atom representing 666, is a 12 bit byte. If you account for particle spin you realize that these 12 bit bytes of carbon can be arranged in various nuclei alignments, to represent any combination possible within that 12 bit byte. This is just a single carbon atom. 12 binary digits, or 3 nibbles (a 'tribble'), have 4096 (10000 octal, 1000 hexadecimal) distinct combinations. Hence, a microprocessor with 12-bit memory addresses can directly access 4096 words (4 Kw) of word-addressable memory. The average human cell contains roughly 100 trillion atoms and each atomic nucleus contains 1 or more simple switches. Each neuron of our brain is a sophisticated standalone processor connected to 85-90 billion other stand alone processors. Producing a very powerful processing architecture. If you can physically experience and perceive it.. consciously, you are connected to it neurologically. Our brain is a neural network of quantum entangled nodes (neurons). We only control our own individual node and the nervous system it represents. If the neurological network didn't exist, we wouldn't consciously be able to share an experience. There are only 7.9 billion other humans on earth, our neurological network consists of 85 to 90 billion neurons. For you to read what I have typed on this page right here. I must exist inside of your neurology as a node on your network, otherwise you couldn't make a neurological connection to experience what I have typed. You also have to exist as a node on my neurological network in order for me to broadcast this message to you on this binary representation of our consciously entangled manifestation. When you meet a node on the network, inside of the projected universe, your neurons connect internally through branched connections and this allows both neurons to exchange information subconsciously. If you get a good or bad vibe from someone, trust that the subconscious didn't like what it saw upon forging a neurological connection. Mine and your neurons exist inside of both of our brains but require us to interact inside the projected universe before these neurons will forge a branch connection to one another. We are all connected subconsciously, neurologically. When we meet in this projected universe, the neuron that represents me and the neuron that represents you in both of our brains will create branch connections to each other where it can project our individual but shared experience to us. We are all a projection of self. Self is not unique to the individual, the individual is unique to self. SELF is the operating system driving our individual consciousness. We are all just a duality of self.

Another great conversation with great minds. Keep them coming.

Thank you for this Channel! Amazing discussions! “We are memories”

Impressed by everyone on the panel, especially the host. He has to be pretty well versed on on these subjects to have an intelligent discussion. Bravo

Love these talks. Would love to see Robert Sapolsky in World Science Festival on such topics of the brain/mind.

Thank you for hosting this + thanx to the brilliant attendees Special thanx to Dr Helen Mayberg who I've been a fan of for years 👏

My mind's got a mind of its own It takes me out a walkin' when I'd rather stay at home Takes me out to parties when I'd rather be alone My mind's got a mind of its own Wonderful discussion, thank you!

Brilliant Delivery from all 'Guests and excellent choices in delivery -- thank you for your perspective and research.'

Thank you for your great discussions

Wow! This was immensely valuable, thank you!!

so excited for a new one!!

The fact that we cant even understand 100% yet how our brain works is fascinating

Truly fascinating, coming from scientists who are leading the discoveries.

Brain. As said before, you are brilliant. Thank you for these excellent listen and learn opportunities

This level of thought motivates me. Great discussion(s).

This was one very enjoyable conversation. To find answers to how thought works is going to be answers to the oldest questions.

this is already over??? and it was an hour??? we need part 2.... and followups on all of these people's work :D

Fascinating! understanding of one's self,,,, thank you.

Amazing talk, was very much appreciated.

WSF has become my favorite YT channel. Thank you for the fantastic content.

This one of the most important fascinating information and conversation am coming across in the begging of 2024 wow ...its such amazing experience I don't have enough words to explain or express it....

My brain has advanced so far so fast I'm running so fast and so far behind in a futile attempt to keep up with it.

at 27:57 one of the best questions humans ever asked. The answer however was vague and distant.. my answer for you mr. Green is time. that lack of perception, that lack of seeing the now.. that time is when our brain removes the chaos! our subconscious handles the heavy matter, and allow us to see clearly.

It's surprising how little views these videos get. They're amazing.

The work that Edward Chang is doing is extremely interesting.

about the depressed part,,, i had to restart over and over again of what i used to do just to get back what i liked to do and it took two days but had a small headache but the headache dissapered after i changed my food intake and drink intake after reading about what human body needs to work properly or what food helps and water during the day help alot, repeat and keep the mind busy while walking trying to revoke feelings while thinking about what i have learned so far about the brain and the body, started to train my body again at the same time thinking alot about what i have learned so far that works best for me to understand my own mind and process it to apply it or try to replace/convert/change my thoughts of patterns that have been traumatizing and i have been thru alot and i mean ALOT

consciousness is an emergent phenomena of systems that have reached a certain threshold of complexity.

What a fascinating conversation. Thank you.

Wow! Discoveries that had been shared are fascinating indeed!

Thank you so much for this👏

this by far is the best narrated show on the most up to date "MAINSTREAM" scientific minds theorizing and explaining there knowledge in there own fields on youtube. the open arena is amazing, yet i disagree on most medical stuff the string theory black holes etc is amazing

Great. These sorts of talks are awesome.

DAMN, the expertise in this is mind-bending 😱😱😱😱

I want to listen to this a few times and then look up each of these scientists individually to look deeper into their work.

So thankful for these free resources

Amazing, thank you Brian Greene, thank you guys!

"The dream we dream together" ghosted Poe's "A dream within a dream." Fantastic program, great humans up there teaching me stuff. I want a quantum theory of mind. Maybe in that we could use our consciousnesses to understand consciousness. Maybe not, because, as Kant said long ago, we only have our brains to understand our brains. Not a fair fight. Thanks OP for this presentation. It matters so much to me, and from the comments, to others.

I would have not watched this if the background had not stopped!! Even the first few minutes drove me crazy!

Thanks for exposing us to neurological discourses, my Psyche is intrigued...

He stated in his statement the function of the brains, the cognition of the layperson, and the capacity of the process to align with the algorithm. It is a sensor that signals data. Most memories were kept at the back of our necks.

How great it probably feels to be a scientist... there are so many mysteries about our existence, and science finds reasonable rational ways to explain and understand it

Great information! Thanks for sharing.

It's interesting that we know so much about how the brain works but have no idea why we are concious of the experience.

I love this conversation about Mind . Sir!! make a Conversation of about Dreams means what is dream and why we in dream. and what the purpose of Dreams come in mind...

Very good in all aspects, Thank you

they should look up or at least consider exploring more about the occipital lobe in the brain & how it relates to everything this vid talks about !! Very curious :) Awesome vid 👍👊🏻

I just want to tune in and listen to Professor Brian Greene.

17:45 Watch the back of Brian's head on the transition. You can see his neural interface flash. He's an early adopter of the tech. Good to know.

Good job. Excelent job

Oh I totally love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!

That theatre is amazing!!

Ooooh,. so nice to see a Hungarian scientist on the panel 😊 greetings from Hungary 🇭🇺

mr. G i can see it on your face bored stiff after every person talks....interested in little after reciting it so many times in practice i imagine...but i respect your brain sir. thank you for the content.

This session was really good...

thank you!!!! I love this!!!!!!!!

this is so well organized with the screens and setting. feels very futuristic

This information is Just amazing 🤩 thanks

Interesting and informative discussion.

excellent channel... thank you

Great conversation.

Fascinating and intellectually stimulating / satisfying discourse. Study of consciousness goes beyond Physical World and unless and until the self is separated from the thoughts within the realms of mind (which are a direct result of numerous neurological events) the consciousness can't be experienced. That's one explanation, and we should be open to other ideas that could possibly give a better interpretation. The person who has no memory is still conscious and alive except that his brain neurons don't send right signals to the right spot to re-ignite that memory sphere or re-cap the memory map, but that must be happening nevertheless. As per Indian philosophy, I believe, the consciousness is one throughout all humans and other living things on Earth and elsewhere and everyone's consciousness is loosely connected and therefore helps (though unequally ...depends on memory storage of individual brain and the memory recall efficiencies) in recognising each other and identifying the similar things in similar manner within the brain. There is also a school of thought that says this consciousness is further stated to be a part of larger consciousness. But that takes us to the realms of philosophy and it is best left to individuals to believe or not.

I appreciate the study of mechanics.. I can't wait to know the other 98 percent, if we experience it without elite thoughts. Thanks for being honest about it.

Functional physiological and architectural decoding. And memory format decoding.

Wow this conference covered how persons who have had cerebral vascular accidents could recuperate with pulsating or illuminating devices that sends stimuli to the brain. Like scientist Yuri said, we respond to stimuli and we react to people's and environment stimuli but the sub conscious take part in this also (in very ample way) with the mix of retrieval of memories to respond for example in certain repetitive family feud abuses. To bother or bully is morally and ethically wrong but if the persons constantly bring over and over the same issues, they are harrasing and creating trouble and the person needs to retrieve the reasons why they are repeating the harrasing to finish dealing with them. Consciousness and the sub conscious are very vast. Some philosophies say consciousness exists outside of us, as in front of our bodies, in front of our head as a source of our living halo. According to Buddhism and Hinduism, consciousness is lodged over the heart chakra centre. They say the mind is over our diaphragm, over the heart energy chakra centre and is called the Anahata chakra. In Buddhist philosophy the mind resides in the area over the heart where the Hum sound is invoked and Hum means essence, what we consider essential (as survival instinct) in our thinking feeling hearts. Just a comment, I wish to be completely free to study, work and develop myself fully and have a happy loving relationship. I never have consented to be part of an experiment unknowingly. If something was implanted in me without my consent is totally wrong. I understand the devices they explained to wake up people suffering from strokes or heavy depression are great discoveries. I personally had a pin implanted in one of my tooths but it turned out to be a device. The tooth was taken out recently but still it bothers me because I feel some pieces of it are still close to my cheek bone and it causes me headaches. I need to take it out. I think I was implanted a device not a pin without my consent and knowledge as they say it would only hold my tooth and is despicable. I truly wish the people who knew the range of utility of this "pin" to know that this has caused me pain in my tooth, cheek bone and head are cold insensitive bastards and don't deserve to be called doctors or scientists.

illuminating discussion!

Exceptional as always from WSF , Kindly please use black background for guests, Too bright at times when guests are in the whole frame, thanks.

Despite all our materialist scientific progress, we're only just beginning to scratch the surface in our understanding of the brain, it's purpose and how it works. There isn't even a consensus or agreement on the definition and purpose of the brain. Then, there's the unanswered and more complex & immaterial nature of the"Mind" and finally the holy grail, the ultimate question ... the big "C" .. "consciousness". Thanks Brian, 🙏

Super cool. I love learning from big brains. 🧠 🦋🌈✨👣☝️

Thank you ❤

Ditto April, abject humility and gratitude. thanx

Great Discussion. Thinking of Truth and depression in Brain is like analogy of Black Holes, the closer you get to their Vicinity, the more they pull you In. I wonder if Black Holes are also self organizing like the Brain.

Very informative !

Mind blown… grateful for these amazing humans searching for the answers to the most fundamental question, What is it like to be human and conscious.

That was a good chat. I hate to say it, but I prefer this style to the live panel discussions in a theater with an audience. The editing here is tight, useful, and focused.

The idea is a valuable resource

amazing stuff!

This topic really seems to be at the forefront of the next step in our understanding of what life/the universe is

Excellent talk

1 hour is nowhere near long enough for 5 panel members imho. Love the work, appreciate the longer long form of yore, though

we made it to the comment section lads. wish i was here first. shouts out the docs for all their hard work! this channel is fye asf

I loved the last section on consciousness. So many perspectives so much sentiments, so little concrete evidence.

Love the introduction

I think it’s the capacity for words and association that synergize with increased awareness. I think anything sufficiently complicated enough has consciousness. A complex enough organism needs it to increase the probability of success in variable situations.

Very very interesting discussion.
