Functional Imaging of the Human Brain- A Window into the Organization of the Human Mind

Explore the intricacies of functional brain imaging in this 59-minute lecture by Nancy Kanwisher from MIT. Delve into topics such as individual electrodes, infant brain development, and the impact of blindness on neural organization. Examine long-range connectivity, CNN models, and predictivity in brain function. Investigate the reasons behind functional specialization, focusing on face recognition tasks and the neural machinery involved. Analyze dual train networks and functional segregation to gain insights into the organization of the human mind. Conclude with a summary of essential components for building a mind and consider important caveats in brain research.
