Quotes About Neural

the physical substrate for thinking, the neural system, but the very fact that it has the form of a network implies that thought also has graph structure. This in turn suggests that language and its grammars, evolved later, also should be expressed in terms of graphs.

We shall venture into even more speculative reflections on possible neural structures that would be consistent with our calculus.

In fact, other than certain aspects of low-level vision, I know of no success at relating systematicities of mental representations to the details of neural architecture.14

You are a victim of your own neural architecture which doesn't permit you to imagine anything outside of three dimensions. Even two dimensions. People know they can't visualise four or five dimensions, but they think they can close their eyes and see two dimensions. But they can't.

Actually, I think my view is compatible with much of the work going on now in neuroscience and psychology, where people are studying the relationship of consciousness to neural and cognitive processes without really trying to reduce it to those processes.

animals with more mental flexibility typically possess more complex sensory and nervous systems, suggesting that they are the most likely to have the neural hardware that underlies suffering.

Elephants also have the necessary neural anatomy for long-term memories—their brains have especially large and complex frontal lobes, which are important for storing and retrieving memories of scent, touch, smell, and sound. There's little doubt that elephants have prodigious memories.

Ora si chieda, come da il dolore a entrare nel corpo? -Dipende da dove ti fai male. -No. Non ha nulla a che vedere con la carne. Il cervello spedisce segnali neurali attraverso il sistema nervoso. Il cervello controlla il dolore. Controlla la paura. Il sonno. L'empatia. La fame. Tutto ciò che associamo al cuore o all'anima o al sistema nervoso in realtà è controllato dal cervello. Tutto.

Emotional explosions are neural hijackings. At those moments, evidence suggests, a center in the limbic brain proclaims an emergency, recruiting the rest of the brain to its urgent agenda. The hijacking occurs in an instant, triggering this reaction crucial moments before the neocortex, the thinking brain, has had a chance to glimpse fully what is happening, let alone decide if it is a good idea.

Skill is a cellular insulation that wraps neural circuits and that grows in response to certain signals.

Skill is myelin insulation that wraps neural circuits and that grows according to certain signals.

Skill is myelin insulation that wraps neural circuits and that grows according to certain signals. The story of skill and talent is the story of myelin.

Consistent happiness is about making the right decisions again and again over time, which builds the neural pathways of feeling good.

In my books the technology that I choose to talk about has to serve the themes. What that means is that I end up having to cut out a lot of cool technology that would be really fun to describe and play with, but which would just confuse everybody. So in 'Amped ' I focus on neural implants.

Music listening, performance, and composition engage nearly every area of the brain that we have so far identified, and involve nearly every neural subsystem.

The common neural mechanisms that underlie perception of music and memory for music help to explain how it is that songs get stuck in our heads. Scientists call these ear worms, from the German Ohrwurm, or simply the stuck song syndrome. There

The common neural mechanisms that underlie perception of music and memory for music help to explain how it is that songs get stuck in our heads. Scientists call these ear worms, from the German Ohrwurm, or simply the stuck song syndrome.

Where attention goes, neural firing flows, and neural connection grows.

Self-regulation appears to depend upon neural integration.

human connections shape neural connections, and each contributes to mind. Relationships and neural linkages together shape the mind. Mind is more than the sum of its parts; this is the essence of emergence.

Estar presentes crea por tanto en nuestros hijos vías neurales que conducen a la identidad individual, la determinación, la fortaleza y la resiliencia.

How intention glows determines where attention goes, neural firing flows, and neural and interpersonal connection grow.

Presence may require that we move both our neural and our mental sides of experience flexibly toward the open plane of possibility. Rather

Relationships early in life may shape the very neural structures that create representations of experience and allow a coherent view of the world: Interpersonal experiences directly influence how we mentally construct reality.
