second is that from neuroscience, we know that the brain is particularly plastic during these early periodsof development. these take advantage of sensitive periods to design interventions and curricula to educate these qualities, to educate generosity, conscientiousness. is that early interventions provide a great return on investment. the nobel laureate economist james heckman from the university of chicago has correlated that for every dollar that we invest in the preschool a return ofe is seven dollars on that investment by the time the individual is 30 years of age. so i believe that this is an issue that all of us from all political persuasions should get behind and establish universal education during this period of can educatewhich we the heart in ways that will make a fundamental difference when children develop. thank you. [applause] >> your holiness, we would like to take a few minutes and pose a question that draws on what richard davidson just talked about. he spoke about the benefits of thoseion and training of qualities and characteristics such as generosity and conscientious

. >> rachelle, you have a background in neuroscience, what damage are we looking at with a big collision>> that's interesting. there are thousands of researchers across the country trying to figure it out. some believe there's sheering happening at the ends of neuropathways so the connections between the different parts of the brain are weaker. peopler thinking that you get tears in the tissue which would weaken the structure and function. there's the idea of bruising and temporary damage through swelling. there's a lot. >> there's a lot. >> yes. and a lot of it is temporary. but some of it, you know, could be serious. >> i want my kids to watch. my 8-year-old want to play football. it's huge. i've been trying to explain to him the danger involved. as a mum it's hard for me to watch the shots of the impact. >> what will we see next? i imagine it's an interesting hat that you are putting on. >> next i put on what i deemed the science acto pus to look at -- octopus to look at my brain waves and get a look at the root of what a concussion looks like. >> we want to hear what you think about

academic setting, there were really two main kinds of research paths one could follow one was neuroscience, either in the lab or what now we know as pet imaging, you know, functional imaging of the brain, but pretty strict neuroscience. or what's called services research, something that is not really that patient near, where you look at the best ways to provide services to patients, basically and in hospital settings and clinic settings. and that seemed too sterile to me, even though it's very important work. so what i was really interested in was descriptive psychiatry or phenomenology, and in schizophrenia, a lot of that had been done in the late 1800s. so there wasn't that much opportunity. so right around that time, the early--the mid-80s, crack had come on the scene, and it was assumed that crack would induce the same sort of mental status changes in addicts and drug users that methamphetamine did, you know, speed kills, speed freaks, back from the '50s and '60s. and so it was assumed that we would see a lot of cocaine-induced psychosis, and i thought, 'well, that's an interesting way

have another group of people here that are from ucsf as well and this sculpture was designed by neuroscience tift and like i said our group is a mixture of the people from all different backgrounds and scientists and nurses and chefs, and we have a really good mix and we have and so we will be working in collaboration with ourself to create 6 informational displays that will be presented to the public, which will hopefully help explain both the sculptures as well as how this sculpture interacts and how your brain interacts with the world around you. and we will also make contact with the people from the bay lights project that we want to make sure that we first do not take anything away from the project at all with our lights and also that we can do a collaboration with them as well and meeting with them with week. >> and our installation will be certified by a licensed structural engineer and we so far we think that we are going to have or need two ac circuits, driving the 85 led bulbs and we are changing all of the electronics on the sculpture to make sure that they are water front and tam

and we know from neuroscience there are periods that the brain is sensitive and one of those spans theentrance of fluid that is between four to seven years of age. so the question we and many others are taking on his can we develop strategies, interventions, curriculum that are targeted in this earlier period that they foster the quality generosity and consciousness which are so important to flourishing over the course of development and we are able to get an answer to that and the answer suggests that air is absolutely no doubt that these factors can be educated. and they can be educated in part because of our understanding of plasticity in the brain. we can shape during the early periods of development. in our own research, we have shown a gain of 20% on the measures of delay of gratification from the simple curriculum that we have introduced in the preschool period. this is an element of self control and conscientiousness. so then we are led to the conclusion and i will summarize there are three major points i've made. one is the well-being can be learned coming in from this we shou

he is a man of varied interests, including neuroscience, the study of the brain. he also is the owner of the seattle seahawks and he is in new york where we talked to him this week about the chances for his seattle seahawks to win the super bowl. so what is the philosophy that john and pete have put together that makes the seahawks in the super bowl. >> well i think both of them are out of the box thinkers. they like speed, they like -- they're like cornerbacks and receivers. they'll like larger players in some cases, faster players. in the case of russell will sob they just loved the level of and the skill even though most people ruled them out as a first-round pick and i think if we redid the draft today he would certainly be taken in the first round. so they have the ability to think outside the box and as a general manager you have to have what i call the golden gut. you have to have a sense of what's inside of a player and what gets that player over the top because these are such amazingly competitive sports. >> rose: and that's what they saw in russell wilso

. >> so why is a physicist writing about neuroscience? the play button and learn it. today, we can actually do many of the feats of science fiction. this is incredible. in the last 10 15 years we've done more with the human brain than in all of human history. >> let's get specific because that's what your book really talks about. communicating telepathically. the idea that you could just speak and communicate with your computer or another human being. you say that's being done in in labs? >> that's right. even today, you were walk into a room, the room will sense your thoughts. turn on the lights. adjust the temperature, turn on a computer. and then people are paralyzed like vegetables inside their paralyzed bodies. we can put a chip in a brain, connect it to a laptop computer. these people can read e-mails, search the web, operate their wheelchair, operate household appliances and operate mcarms. the pentagon has, for example, millions of dollars to take veterans of the iraq and afghanistan war to hook their minds to exoskeletons to have

certainly in alzheimer's disease the idea you can bring together people who know something about neuroscience, people who know something about clinical medicine, people who know about imaging technologies, people who are engineers, robotics experts, big data is a big part of this now. that's where a lot of the excitement is. increasingly what we need to do, the modern version is to come up with teams that are made of many brains sort of working together and that is very much the way science has now proceeding. the brain initiative which dr. landis co-leads for us is a great example of how to achieve that. maybe you can say a word about how that is coming together that reflects a change in the dynamics. >> it's very clear that we made excellent advances in understanding brain structure. we know we have crude wiring diagrams for the brain but we don't know how information is processed along those wires, how the vision of a rose actually gets translated through many, many different way stations in the brain to recognition that this is a rose and the expectation it will smell sweet. what we reall
