El neurocientífico que desafió a Descartes: por qué un cuerpo vulnerable separa la mente humana de la inteligencia artificial
El libro del día: "Natural Intelligence & the Logic of Consciousness", de Antonio Damasio Un modelo de lenguaje puede describir la sed de cien maneras sin haberla sentido nunca; puede componer un soneto sobre el sufrimiento sin conocer el dolor. Para Antonio Damasio, esa distancia entre representar y sentir marca una diferencia decisiva entre la inteligencia humana y la artificial.

In his new book, the neuroscientist Antonio Damasio argues that without feelings, true intelligence cannot exist.
Time processing in schizophrenia: integrating behavioral, neurobiological, and clinical data
Abstract Timing is a fundamental neural process that underlies perception, behavior, and cognition. In schizophrenia, a chronic, heritable neuropsychiatric disorder that typically manifests in young adulthood, disruptions in time processing are increasingly recognized as contributing to the disorder’s positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms.
Computer Science > Machine Learning
Dreams splice together people, places, and times that never met. Neuroscience suggests this recombination is not noise, but a function driving insight and creative discovery. This reframes memory consolidation: rather than merely defending against forgetting, its measurable value lies in recombining knowledge across experiences that have not yet co-occurred.
David Eagleman: Dreaming protects the visual cortex, the Ulysses contract enhances self-discipline, and brain plasticity supports lifelong learning | The Diary of a CEO
Key takeaways Dreaming serves to protect the brain’s visual cortex from being overtaken by other sensory inputs. The brain’s peak development occurs at age two, transitioning from fluid to crystallized intelligence as we age. Competing neural networks in the brain construct our perception of reality, influencing decision-making. The Ulysses contract is a strategy to curb future bad behavior by making present decisions.
De las plantas al cerebro, un asombroso recorrido por las fronteras de la conciencia
Una explicación coherente de la conciencia elude a la ciencia moderna. En A World Appears (Un mundo aparece), Michael Pollan se sumerge de lleno en este misterio. ¿Por qué se siente como algo ser uno mismo al despertar por la mañana, y como nada durante el sueño profundo? ¿Por qué sentimos, pensamos y disfrutamos de un flujo interminable de experiencias subjetivas? ¿Cómo genera el cerebro un sentido unificado del yo?

3 experts explain your brain’s creativity formula
DAVID EAGLEMAN: What is it that's special about the human brain that allows creativity to happen? What humans do that’s special is we absorb all of these ideas, all these inputs, and we smush them up in various ways and come up with new things. During the evolution of the cortex, we got a lot more space in between input and output. Other animals have these much closer together, so when they get some stimulus, they make an essentially reflexive response.
What’s more real: time itself, or your perception of it?
BRIAN GREENE: We know that time in some sense is that which allows change to take place. DEAN BUONOMANO: Time is complicated, I think, more so than space. We take left turns, we right. We have a map of space. Time is this one way street. DAVID EAGLEMAN: Time is rubbery and can speed up or slow down. Time is one of the unsolved mysteries in neuroscience. BRIAN GREENE: Matter is made of molecules and atoms. Could it be that time is also made of some kind of ingredient?

How to step out of your inner monologue and understand the world better
DAVID EAGLEMAN: Why do we accept our reality as the uncontested truth? You are a data collection machine that moves through the world, vacuuming up your little bits of experience, and in the end, whatever you have, that's what you assume to be true. But our experiences are limited. We're born in a particular spot on the planet, and we have a thin, little trajectory of experience. We construct what we believe the world is made up of from there.

Jak mózg zmienia się pod wpływem doświadczeń
Mózg człowieka przychodzącego na świat wbrew pozorom nie przypomina niezapisanej tabliczki. Gdy pojawiamy się na Ziemi, związane są z nami pewne oczekiwania. Zastanówmy się nad momentem narodzin małego kurczaka: chwilę po wykluciu chwieje się na słabych nóżkach, co prawda niezdarnie, ale jednak jest w stanie już biegać i robić uniki. Kurczak w swoim otoczeniu po prostu nie ma czasu na to, by poświęcać kolejne miesiące lub lata na naukę poruszania się.
Bimodal stimulation for the reduction of tinnitus using vibration on the skin
Discussion We found improved TFI scores for both the experimental (tones and vibration) and control (tones only) groups. However, only the experimental group’s average TFI improvement was clinically significant (greater than 13 points). Importantly, individuals with a greater severity of tinnitus at baseline experience a larger improvement in their tinnitus with bimodal treatment (Figures 2 and 3).
Being You
International Best Seller "Being You is an exhilarating book: a vast-ranging, phenomenal achievement that will undoubtedly become a seminal text." (The Guardian) Anil Seth's quest to understand the biological basis of conscious experience is one of the most exciting contributions to 21st-century science. What does it mean to “be you” - that is, to have a specific, conscious experience of the world around you and yourself within it? There may be no more elusive or fascinating question.

I'm a neuroscientist. I'm not worried about how screens will affect kids' brains - here's why.
David Eagleman. Photo: Joe Baraban David Eagleman is an author, neuroscientist at Stanford University, and host of "The Brain" on PBS. Below is an excerpt from his book, "Livewired," reprinted here with permission. In it, Eagleman says the internet, including screens, has unlocked a much richer level of education for children today. See more stories on Insider's business page. Given that the brain becomes wired from experience, what are the neural consequences of growing up on screens?

A Mystery to Itself
Brain science has historically been populated by corpse diggers, pig torturers, vivisectionists, logicians, entertainers, quacks, and quiet careful people who spend a great deal of time with fruit flies. Indeed it hasn’t always been taken as read that the brain was responsible for much at all. Thinking and feeling were most often attributed to the heart, though the second-century physician Galen had other ideas.
Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain
A remarkable account of the brain's plasticity, from the internationally bestselling author. How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? What does a baby born without a nose tell us about our sensory machinery? Might we someday control a robot with our thoughts? And what does any of this have to do with why we dream? The answers to these questions are not right in front of our eyes; they're right behind our eyes.
Chatter
Well-researched and to the point “Chatter” is a brief yet in-depth look at how the ways by which we talk to ourselves affect our mental and emotional states. Its core message is this: mental chatter, which is fueled by a variety of different internal and external factors, is a massive source of physical and emotional pain in our society. When that chatter gets out of hand, we experience stress, anxiety, doubt, and even depression.
Why Do We Dream? A New Theory on How It Protects Our Brains Original
When he was two years old, Ben stopped seeing out of his left eye. His mother took him to the doctor and soon discovered he had retinal cancer in both eyes. After chemotherapy and radiation failed, surgeons removed both his eyes. For Ben, vision was gone forever. But by the time he was seven years old, he had devised a technique for decoding the world around him: he clicked with his mouth and listened for the returning echoes.
The Book Breakdown: Nature and nurture
We are more complex than we realize. Or at least neuroscientist David Eagleman thinks so. In “Livewired: The Inside Story of Our Everchanging Brain,” Eagleman hammers home one overarching message: “Our machinery isn’t preprogrammed, but instead shapes itself by interacting with the world.” We humans, unlike most other mammals, are extremely helpless the first few years of our lives. When a foal is born, it doesn’t require a whole lot more development to become a horse.
David Eagleman wants you to think much more about the brain
Author and neuroscientist David Eagleman. Photo: David Mark Clark Before David Eagleman presents a single sentence of his own construction in “Livewired,” he lets it be known that the book, subtitled, “The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain,” offers more than science. He does so with his choice of epigraph: “Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one,” written by philosopher Martin Heidegger. “Hopefully this book will open eyes to what it means to be a human,” Eagleman says.

The Defensive Activation theory: dreaming as a mechanism to prevent takeover of the visual cortex
New Results David M. Eagleman, Don A. Vaughn doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.24.219089 Abstract Regions of the brain maintain their territory with continuous activity: if activity slows or stops (e.g., because of blindness), the territory tends to be taken over by its neighbors. A surprise in recent years has been the speed of takeover, which is measurable within an hour. These findings lead us to a new hypothesis on the origin of dream sleep.

The Brain by David Eagleman
Wow! This book is ‘mind-blowing’! Reading The Brain by David Eagleman made me realize I have been underestimating the power of a human brain. Supercomputers take an enormous amount of power to solve one problem while our brain can solve the same by consuming 60Watts. Say you are at the ice cream store and you have to choose between two flavours. All you do is stand there and think.

How Your Brain Takes Good Ideas and Makes Them Better
By Anthony Brandt and David Eagleman Humans are continually creative: whether the raw material is words or sounds or sights, we are food-processors into which the world is fed, and out of which something new emerges. Our innate cognitive software, multiplied by the massive population of homo sapiens, has produced a society with increasingly faster innovation, one that feeds upon its latest ideas. Eight millennia transpired between the Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution.

5 Books About the Brain to Help You Unleash Your Full Potential
By Tom Bilyeu When I came across the notion that I could get good at anything I set my mind to, I was blown away. The whole idea that you can’t teach old dogs new tricks has now been debunked (both for humans and for dogs). Thankfully, the brain is far more plastic than people used to believe, and you can shape your mind through disciplined practice. So just because you’re bad at something today doesn’t mean you have to keep being bad at it tomorrow.

Imagine that you are driving in the left lane and you would like to move over to the right lane. Before reading on, actually try it.
Sensory Substitution
Can sensory data be fed through unusual sensory channels? And can the brain learn to extract the meaning of such information streams? Yes and yes. Sensory substitution is a non-invasive technique for circumventing the loss of one sense by feeding its information through another channel. We are leveraging this technique to develop a non-invasive, low-cost vibratory vest to allow those with deafness or severe hearing impairments to perceive auditory information through small vibrations on their torso.

Science is on the brink of beaming Twitter directly into your brain
Rune Fisker You are about to develop some new senses. This idea requires a bit of unpacking. The first thing to appreciate is that the brain is locked in silence and darkness inside the vault of the skull. All it ever has are electrical and chemical signals racing around among its specialised cells – it doesn’t directly see or hear or touch anything.
