The big brain theory – how does the brain work? | Werner Gruber | TEDxLinz


[Music]

[Music]

the brain weighs 1300 to 1400 grams 86

billions of neurons around 100,000

years invented in the current form

and the well-known here in research entirely

simply we have some say one

bore and this skull comes from

from the Neolithic is about

12,000 years old has survived as

We can see at the edges

we do not know why it drilled a

whether it was religious or religious

whether it is simply interest where

she remembers, however, has to remember

can make it easier or that one

We just have demon contracts

It did not really get exciting

it then with the Egyptians meanwhile

For the first time, papyrus became the concept of

brain mentions fish so because she yes

let’s go to egypt accident is on

a stele stag brain, however

for the lattice because the brain is relative

irrelevant that was one of the few

areas that were not only made music

say it’s hertz to be multiplied

So liver is everything for a good kidney

impression but

definitely not the brain is brain

removed the nose and the problem

That we all have people feel

as a professional or a professional for the

brain because everyone has 1 and there is

extremely many opinions the total

nonsense, for example, we use

now in the percent of the brain ten

percent of profit goes back to

marin sharp he fled from the has with

have worked well to be precise with

deaf people but really what you

can eat and has parts of the brain

removed and he was interested

when can a dove not eat anymore?

and drink in their cages is found

no longer the food bowl how much brain

you have to remove and you get on it

on may 90 percent of a deaf brain

to remove

the dove still finds her food

Cynics say the couple out of the

Club vacation anticipated I was

never let the poles explain

that with ten percent the Irish on

buffet overdressed is we could now

begin to explain which areas of the

brain make something very impressive, for example

the rear area I can see the

we know a great experiment

by, for example overturn what

You really do write again

over

[Laughter]

my ladies and gentlemen i could mine

ladies and gentlemen i could give them now

explain what areas of the brain are

but only very briefly this rear

area of seeing it again in charge

and if you look from the front now

then hit the brain

the rear area pops on the

Skull blanket and you get starry because

the visual areal is activated

On the other hand, they were a blow of

get back to the front so that

think activated so you can also without

great tools experimental in the

allow neuroscience to be active

give me a short excursion into the

the amazonas in the wide of the

amazon we have trees we have each

lots of animals, including fireflies

and happy ones may be the same

beetle slight comfortably to himself

however, a firefly flashes 5.30

dark flashes 30

the dark flashes make the male

young people are sitting a few lightbulbs

lonely on a sheet and flashing

and hope that the females

the 50 meters above the trees around

They fly down and then see

again a male glow bulb

come down and if that happens then

one of the few recordings of

bulb 6 then can in order

Munich is multiplying the big problem is

that in the vastness of the amazonas the

Amazon is really big the

fireflies are really clear

they have no chance that they meet

that’s why male fireflies do

that also has to be done in my time

did you do that together ?

speak one goes together in the disco

At my time say you want ladies

Get to know all trauma senses

and now you have the following problem

if you now have a tree in the where

then this male glow bulb

collect

somehow reichstett on this tree

the female fireflies react

not they only react to one

doctor specific impulse specific

means it must be exactly in the right one

Frequency if that is not in the right place

frequency is cash from that is the

Glow pencils need to synchronize

A million lightbulbs need to

a tree at the same time on benches and

there is of course the big question how

we do that and work in the living

brought here

electronic client so return genuine

were so difficult to drink from so empty

and we see this a firefly

flashes and lights up in front of him

others as well the two fireflies

can not see each other yet

it’s both independent and if I am

we bring them together now we see without

that he has touched himself

sync when I get it back

give it apart

start back to the

many would sync now

suspect that this is it you can

others expand so high

Democratic process is the question who

him then forced the once

sometime so cottbus we have three

what I want to convey why it comes

to this synchronization this

Synchronization is one of the

the most exciting processes in nature

so too the meaning

one actually suspected that

a daylight that says there is

Elvis the dwarfs on the economy

we for sure it can not

imagined imagine that elvis

we have already died against worms

Bought

the whole tree was dead but it is one

other process and how not at all

The details are mathematical

clarified it is a strong democratic

process is a process two girls

the one meeting gets faster that

others we slow down in its frequency

this to the so-called facebook in hand

Both then have exactly the same frequency

and both are flashing at the same time

I have to go for the third

adjust the other two

and then if everything fits correctly then

Looks the whole thing out where on one

tree really millions of fireflies

are active at the same time

Excursus in the Amazon and come now

we return to the brain of our brain

consists of a pure we know 127

kinds of murmurs and each of their newer ones

has driven differently has different

structures practically we were

between only two types the so-called

excitatory and inhibitory neurons

distinguish

and to be precise, they are not

once exciting and inhibiting it are the

contact points between the individual

neurons, the so-called synapses

Maroons touch each other in a similar way

people inviting up to 8,000 others

There are even more flavors and more

is so an electrical signal

comes to this synapse leads to that

Here, chemical substances are released

will be redirected to the

post synapse there are receptors and

these receptors cause one again

electrical signal we convert

fresh signals in a chemical and

again in an electrical signal around and

certainly every one of the plugs

she asks how it stays

not clothes electric truma them into the

go knee

quite simply the synapse can do something

that’s an average now

signal what comes out at the end of this

signal can be modulated

that can be muted or it can

even massively strengthened

the synapse is what we do it

transistor of the human brain

describe something of a hive

schizophrenia depression mental

problems where there is also always matter when they

say you know a problem

synapses so they were correct answer

the psychiatrist transitions they have

burn something with these fans

fill in it

So we have basic are yours

Science now needs us

consider

what makes our world work

it always get it right in such a

sweet is we ask ourselves the question what

So a dog can not do what Canada can do

many opinions what is one and cancer

a dog has one has four legs

except the pirate dogs have the

less accidents two eyes turn out

the pirate dogs and lifts while peeing

certainly not a foot now yes it is

correct

Female customers put up as well

usual and then meat eats something theirs

dog wkn or vegetarian one feeds

dies so 100 we come to one

completely different objects are hardly available

an emotional reaction trees

[Laughter]

what does the tree wood branches consist of ?

leaves and he is green

Of course in the summer there are still

look for trees and there we look

why is it really possible in the short

meters

it’s all about characteristics of everything we do

in our life defining object

I define what I mean by properties

Now look at these fruit baskets for it

is to be imagined that way

Well, this is indeed red what

but it is usually an apple

it depends on the structure shapes

There are so many features

and in the human brain can become

the 10,000 features always wrong

really once to create a cat

is soft except she is dead and she has

slimy when she is sick and so on

continue so that you can power operated

my cats are transparent

harry potter and so on as well as on

properties and now we take that

to collect everything I have told

Let’s look at the cerebral cortex great

Cattle imaginary two square meters

big as thick as fields and that is located

Merged well here and what we do

Doing it now is losing us

look at a very small area

this brain and look at it

called model euro

that ‘s even before the coarser structure

The cerebral cortex consists of six

layers and most layers

we have the task of one

to clarify that in our model

food or model all clear

interact with each other and with each other

communicate

However, I will spare that now

he remind you that in

in the meantime and now we are watching

something can brain do our model

Our brain model can have properties

For example, perceive body size

it’s big middle and small people

Body weight heavy with ball and

light and blond blonde brown

black and what we do now is

following we now look again

brain to what it does when you

nothing is doing

That’s about ten seconds now

asleep in front of what I think of anything

So we do not have the individual

flavors are random active of activity

just see them in the light up in

Rhaunen hooked up like that

Firefly

however, they are not over the light

coupled but slightly fresh

pulses electrochemical pulses around

to be exact and now we show

our model brain something about this

model brain

we already see it should start from

the java it already starts its structure

It is now starting to actively participate in the 200

of course that can be in and of course

fractions of seconds

Now someone has recognized this brain

body height means body weight

clearly have too much room still what

They now see this simultaneous

a murmur the ladies and me

Gentlemen, that’s not a thought

say a thought flash it is special

you have to be impressive about the thought

say but it is the thought of werner

Gruber and now I have told

the synapses can synapse themselves

change

There is a very nice rule

Pretty noise rules are several

neurons active at the same time then

strengthen their connections and

whoever I’m told all the names are

connected and it happens

now one of the additional connections

arise between the individual flavors

and what is the task of the two ?

tasks the first task is to do it

that if I think of this brain

Next time, see who faster

be recognized

over the streets that too the brain

very much what would be the second variant that

is even more important what you can

Brains and there we will say

literature art medicine straden our

Our brain can only be saved

one and that is now that’s it

actually the most important

let’s imagine we have a hat

on

you can not my hair color

then this will not be a novelty

be active and that leads to that

definitely only two neutrons are active

And now that’s the great one

brain does something quite automatically

two thirds of the neurons are active

the remaining third will be added

synchronized and that’s what it’s about

our brain can not help but

pattern complete everything of that

we are just surrounded by patterns and now

we can also see for example

other persons karl seeger colleague of

astronomy and very good colleague has

a completely different pattern and also at

they get the synapses themselves

change and what’s left after

karl sailing or I was seen

we can even do it at the same time

at the same time is his pattern available

an uncanny strength of this system

and what’s left if it’s up to us

no longer sees but the connection

Strengthen that is learning and

now to pattern completing everything

what we are surrounded with are patterns

see a black triangle here

black background was not

Contact Me

They have a real problem

with synapses how strong the patterns are

complete is see at this

example why the education system

had worked

give a tip that makes our brain

completely automatically and that is perfect

regardless of the type and pattern we have if

we have a movement pattern if we are one

have communication patterns when in

get up early out of bed

Then you go to the toilet once

they ‘ll gamble they ‘ll go back up

the toilet come for breakfast

think of a big or a

english braig is almost and now

again the question is two

patterns like both are there at the same time

do not be equally strong around it

let’s solve the big puzzle

you better take the English breakfast

that gave me the big farm state

it is simply left over

So you go back to the big big one

is the research again so again

english breakfast for when the pattern

not clear that somewhere for

weather is exactly what we have the

Mandelkern will be just like that over the

big wheels talked deepest

innermost the brain as well as the cores

These kernels tell us what we are for

feel what we really want

the cerebral cortex says nothing in kernels

is thought and the cores say that

Cerebral cortex wherever the path goes there

our gears are stored

that too is socialized in the

we have mandelkern, for example

fears and those fears we say big

bark this and that but avoid it

there is an awful lot to human

Brain to say we are still on

beginning of our journey of exploration

but for me that’s the most important thing

Thousands of chestnuts die every day

Let’s make sure they are not free

died

[Applause]
