when a man talks with pretty girl blood literally brains dashed dreams from the pre-frontal cortex. you can measure this. it's absolutely true. all these old wives tales can now be systematically idolize idolized -- analyze looking at brain scans. we have to brain scans come one on the left one honorÉ. normally the two hemispheres talk to each other but in epileptics it gets out of control. they have seizures so scientists have to cut the connectivity between the left in and the right hemispheres and then something bizarre, something weird happens. the two brains that are now cut begin to create two different personalities. it's amazing, documented data. one man comes home and greets his wife and with one arm he embraces her and with the other arm he pops her in the face. a documented case. another documented case, one man come as a left brain was an atheist and his right brain was a believer. can you imagine dying and going to heaven and only half of your brain goes to heaven? sooner or later i'm sure we will find some person who has a left brain that is republican and a right brai

finally when you become an adult the prefrontal cortex at the front of the brain develops. we can test old wives tales by looking at the living brain. what they say, everyone knows this, is that teenage kids suffer from brain damage. it is true. you could actually show from the back to the front, teenagers do not have a well formed prefrontal cortex and it's another that when a man talks to a pretty girl he startac stupid. [laughter] and it's true. when a man talks were pretty girl, blood drains from the prefrontal cortex and he becomes mentally. you can measure this by looking at what is absolutely true. so these old wives tale can be analyzed looking at this and then we have two hemispheres, one on the left and one on the right and normally the two hemispheres talked to each other. what an epileptic is out of control and they have seizures and so we have to cut the connection between the left and the right hemisphere. and then something bizarre and weird happens. the two brains that are now cut begins to create two different personalities. the amazing documented cases, on

the cave person tending to the fire is using this part of the head, the prefrontal cortex.the call of executive control. that's the thing that makes us most human. the thing responsible for art, architecture, civilization. but when the tap comes for the roar of the law and it sends a signal up from here, much more primitive survival mechanism. let's say in the case of the line it says, whom, login, run. and this part, the part that is doing this kind of high level task must listen to the lower part of the brain. because if they didn't, guess what? you get eaten. so now let's go back in time to start to understand that these, we begin to understand the limitations of our brains. we cannot ignore, first of all, that reptiles found. if you can, you, you would essentially have to have eyes in the back of your head -- reptile sound. go back to probably the mid-1900s right after world war ii, scientists in britain were really wrestling with a question. why was it that their pilots in airplanes fighting the battle over britain, why was it their radar operators could have trouble w

the amount that reaches the cortex of the brain after going through layers of skull, skin, fat and spinal fluid is smaller. >> the brain is bathed in a low level of direct current flow. the brain is super sensitive to electricity because the brain uses electricity. the neurons have a voltage cross them. for a neuron at rest that is amound minus 80-millivolts. if it increases enough to what is call a threshold that might be around minus 60-millivolts, it makes a decision to fire an action potential. >> instead of forcing a neuron to fire, you are just tweaking how much more input it needs, natural input it needs to fire on its own. >> that's a good way to put it. it took me 10 years of research to come to that. >> i figured this is the right place to try tdcs for the first time. i am rigged up and about to try in a controlled environment. don't try this at home. all right, so i'm getting 1.5 mili amps of stimulation. i can feel it on my skin. it's burnie, prickly, kind of hot and itchy like i want to scratch it. i wouldn't say it hurts. i didn't experience anything else. >> actually for th

amnesty international declared them prisoners of conscience trapped in judicial cortex the answer to political, not legal consideration. his story has come to symbolize russia's turn to authoritarianism under putin. in an impassioned closing arguments following his second trial, he told the judge, "your honor, much more than our two fates are in your hands. here and now, the fate of every citizen in our country is being decided." he has lived in self-imposed exile in switzerland since his release. last month, he relaunched his open russia foundation and seeks to start a civil movement to challenge putin's grip on power. i am pleased to have mikhail khodorkovsky at this table for the first time. welcome. >> hello. >> i look forward to this conversation since we met seven months ago. tell me where you are today in your life as you see it. >> i have tried in the past few months to deal with some of the main tasks i had to deal with in my family. unfortunately, part of these decisions were not in human hands, but i still had the opportunity to say farewell to my mother and of course, tha

try to do more qualitative improvements by -- you could try to add neurons into some area in the cortex or muck around and play around with things, and probably there are things you could discover after a while of experimenting which -- but ultimately, that kind of neuromorphic a.i., i think, would be surpassed by a synthetic machine intelligence, artificial intelligence designed from the ground up maybe by this population of whole brain emulations that they're running at digital speeds and doing this computer science research. but, ultimately, moving away from the biological architecture that has started because it just seems very impossible that what we have happened to evolve using our biological constraints would still resemble the optimal form of information processing when you remove some of those constraints. >> sorry, just a quick follow-up. you made me think of something. if you went with the full brain emulation approach and that worked, would you also be creating an artificial personality? >> there are different levels of success of the approach. in a limited case, you would

and we can actually put a helmet into the temporal cortex of the brain to induce a feeling of being in the presence of god. and we can actually induces feeling and the scientist, of course we like to experiment, we put in a distant side and that atheist was in this. afterwards we asked him about this and catholic nun and her beliefs shaken because you can induces within a switch and she said no, she said that god made us with the telephone system so that we can create with god. we can't win. and so super genius is one of many things we talk about in the book. some people have had this of the temporal loeb, after with both of them emerged as mathematical geniuses. so tonight when you go home you should not pick up a hammer thinking that you're going to be the next einstein, although it has happened several times in the past, this person could take a helicopter ride over the harbor of new york and draw the entire skyline of new york city down to every window and you can see it at the jfk airport. next time you landon jfk, lookup as you see this drawn from memory by this individual and of

the emotion center of the brain and quite often it's not connected to the ventral medial prefrontal cortexesses this so at times they have flat affect, they don't have the feeling of guilt. they can manage rage but they don't understand what it's like to live in someone else's shoes so they don't care about the victims and therefore they can go on with their lives day to day as if nothing happened. >> chilling to say the least. jeff gardere and jean casarez, thank you for joining us. this is a story cnn will continue to follow. we'll bring you updates when we can get them. >> ahead at this hour, is the president a pariah? and if democrats are working so hard to create distance from him, why does he keep dragging them back so close? >> imagine this. after being told he would never walk again on his own, a british man is up and walking with the aid of a brace. the treatment we'll tell you about and how potentially it's being seen as the cure for paralysis. we'll discuss.

if i gave my daughter a marketing major the task to write something on cerebral cortex science, i think that what she wrote would be about the same as what i read in this statement. you know, underutilization, lay force. listen, if you have an education, you're more highly employed. it is what it is. >> rick brings up an interesting point, sharon, of the curve telling us. i wonder if we should be writing the obituary of quantitative easing. we have been here before. we thought it ended after the first round, after the second round and had to keep ending numbers. do you think it's truly behind us? >> it's definitely possible that they could come back if labor numbers do disappoint us and we're starting -- and if we see prices pull back. i was a bit surprised the fed said that hthey seem to be on track of the target rates for both employment and for inflation when, in fact, you still have very high understood utilization rates. twice as high as the jobless rate and the deflator slowed down, not increased, so i think qe-3 is over but i wouldn't reel out more -- >> do you think they're goin

and that's the cortex where neurons are in the brain, and this is a study in former professional football players who were symptomatic when we looked at them. what we found is there's cortical thinning compared to age matched normal controls. what's most concerning, however, is that blue line that shows that the cortical thinning accelerates with age, whereas the red line, our control group where it's almost completely flat. and this suggests that cortical thinning may indicate abnormal aging and a risk for dementia that we can see right now in living individuals. next slide, please. now, this is a study that we did in germany with elite soccer players. we selected them specifically for not having a history of concussion and not having any symptoms whatsoever. what we found was compared to swimmers, professional swimmers, there was a huge difference between the two groups with the controls on the left and the soccer players on the right. almost a complete separation between the two groups with an increase in what's called radial diffusivity, which is a measure of damage to the myelin in t
