In this Ted talk Greg Gage talks about the importance of Neuroscience. He used a simple, inexpensive DIY kit to enable an audience member to move the arm of another participant. Gage attaches electrodes to one woman’s arm and measures the signals sent from her brain to make her arm move. He then attached electrodes to another man’s arm. The signals sent from the woman’s brain are then sent to the man’s arm. The audience watches in awe as she is able to control his arm with her brain.
This talk was very astonishing to me because it taught me that with an easy DIY kit you can do something unique. Gage talks a little bit about how Neuroscience should be taught more in schools. I agree with this because I'm very interested in that subject and it would be incredibly beneficial. There could be so many people in the Neurology field by the time I reach college if schools started teaching Neuroscience classes. Gage said that there's no cure for Neuro diseases so if we can start early in Neurology maybe we can discover better ways to possibly find cures for these problems.
I found this talk interesting because he was very interactive with the audience and he was funny. Like I've said in my previous posts I am interested in the study of the human brain. I'm interested in the psychological side and the scientific side as well. This was a more investigative and experimental side to Neurology. It was intriguing to me how someones brain can affect the body of someone else. I was skeptical about it at first but then he explained that it could work with electrolytes going back and fourth between the sensors.
I think this was a good choice to be my last ted talk watched. It wrapped up the things that mattered to me in a fun manner. To wrap up these presentations I believe that what matters to me most is Neuroscience . These videos helped me find what i was truly passionate about. I always knew I wanted to be in the medical or scientific field and although i can't decide yet I've realized that Neuroscience is what i want to major in. This project helped me realize that learning can be fun as long as I'm interested in the topic.
