So the outer part of that brain is the neocortex.

Our newest brain, our Homo sapien brain, our neocortex, corresponds with the what level.

The brain is intentionally by the way, there's a shaft of nerves that joins the two halves of the brain called the corpus callosum. It's thicker in women.

This is actually the artery that goes from your neck to your brain.

And here's inside the brain.

It hooks up all parts of the brain.

So what happens when we pay attention is that the prefrontal cortex, the sort of executive part of our brains, sends a signal that makes a little part of our brain much more flexible, more plastic, better at learning, and shuts down activity in all the rest of our brains.

So the first one is in the brain.

The brain isn't divided into compartments.

Now imagine that you will soon be able to look inside your brain and select brain areas to do that same thing.

You have the middle area, where the temporal lobe might be, in here, and the posterior portion, where the maintenance functions are in the back.

To diagnose and treat a brain disorder accurately, it would be necessary to look at the brain directly.

Soon, you'll be able to look inside your brain and program, control the hundreds of brain areas that you see there.

We can look inside with real time fMRI in the brain at real time.

There is about 20 regions of the brain that have been modeled, simulated and tested the auditory cortex, regions of the visual cortex cerebellum, where we do our skill formation slices of the cerebral cortex, where we do our rational thinking.

A second part of the brain is called the dorsal stream.

It activates a different part of the brain.

The bell curve shows 150 controls, and what is being looked at is the difference between the right and the left frontal lobe.

So we're interested in exactly where in the brain, and what's the most important part of the brain.

It was in her brain, in her lungs, in her liver.

These parts of the brain are quieting down.

This part of the brain is called the anterior cingulate gyrus.

The Summit was attended by 5 heads of State and or government, 6 Vice Presidents or deputy heads of government and 20 ministers.

And that's that all the sensations, feelings, decisions and actions are mediated by the computer in your head called the brain.

Our bodies are hanging along for the ride, but my brain is talking to your brain.

So now I'm going to apply that same pulse to my brain, to the part of my brain that controls my hand.

Now you've seen before that with electrodes you can control robotic arms, that brain imaging and scanners can show you the insides of brains.

We are the first generation that's going to be able to enter into, using this technology, the human mind and brain.

You can call it the face area of the brain, right?

This is the part of the brain which perceives edges and patterns.

We need to reach a target inside the brain.

They're controlled by different parts of the brain.

That's always been the case. And so all we can say, well, my neocortex, which is the part of the brain I'm interested in, has 30 billion cells.

There's a blade here that's going to cut across a section of the tissue and transfer it to a microscope slide.

But in humans, we continue to grow our brains.

Sticking wires into the brain is obviously rather crude.

The second challenge is the actual device for observing brainwaves.

We can look down in the brain of the monkey.

People have wanted to look inside the human mind, the human brain, for thousands of years.

Anyone who gets up and tells you their theory about how the brain works and doesn't tell you exactly how it's working in the brain and how the wiring works in the brain, it is not a theory.

I mean, many of you right now are probably going through your head.

You do. It's your emotional brain.

But you can imagine looking inside the brain.

Their brains and bodies will be stunted.

As I like to say, these are not the jazz areas of the brain.
