Every Tuesday we show 3 TED Talks on our wall sized screen organized around a common theme.
This weeks theme: The Mind
<b>Gero Miesenboeck reengineers a brain</b>
In the quest to map the brain, many scientists have attempted the incredibly daunting task of recording the activity of each neuron. Gero Miesenboeck works backward -- manipulating specific neurons to figure out exactly what they do, through a series of stunning experiments that reengineer the way fruit flies perceive light.
<b>Dan Gilbert asks, Why are we happy?</b>
Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert says our beliefs about what will make us happy are often wrong -- a premise he supports with intriguing research, and explains in his accessible and unexpectedly engaging talk.
<b>VS Ramachandran on your mind</b>
Vilayanur Ramachandran tells us what brain damage can reveal about the connection between celebral tissue and the mind, using three startling delusions as examples. |
