Exploring the Brain: from Synapses to Cognition

Описание к видео Exploring the Brain: from Synapses to Cognition

The human brain is a remarkably complex organ, consisting of billions of interconnected neurons. It can be divided into distinct regions, each with specific functions, such as memory and decision-making. Cognition, which includes processes like perception, memory, language, and problem-solving, is all orchestrated by the brain. It's through these cognitive processes that we perceive and interact with the world around us.

What is special about the structure of the brain compared to other organs? What is the principled way of understanding how the brain works? How does the brain contribute to our sense of Self? Is it possible to compare the brain with the computer? Is it possible to enhance the way that the brain works? What is the brain-basis of language?

These and other questioned are answered by Serious Science experts from leading universities from all around the world. The coursed is comprised of 15 lectures filmed in the period from 2014 to 2020.
