Brain, Mind, Consciousness and Learning


This blogg I found to be creative and informative. It is part of a bloggspot called Brain, Mind, and Consciousness. The blogger Ted starts the presentation of the video with a mission to recreate a model of the brain using IBM high tech. computers. Using science, math, technology, art, philosophy, theology he explains the essential need for using advanced technology to create a 3 dimensional model of the brain using mathematical formulas.

The needs for this model included in the mission are to help in the understanding how the brain works to assist with the investigation of disease associate with mental illness. He also states nature of the mind and it's effect on a the concept of spreading peace and eliminating animal testing for brain research. All reasons very humanitarian and naturalistic. The richness of the language as well as the visual simulations of the brain on video assisted in the production of quite fascinating lecture on the brain. In reflection of another video presentation from this weeks resources 'Information Processing and the Brain' with Dr. Ormrod she states 'It seems that we don't think the way computers do. People don't work-don't think in that 'one thing leads to another automatically' kind of way. We tend to branch out in a lot of different directions all at once.
