Thursday, December 10, 2015
What makes us who we are? How do tiny electrical signals inside our heads drive our thoughts and actions? These questions have driven us for most of human history to explore our brains. As the techniques we have used to understand the brain and its anatomy have evolved, we can see the brain and its connections in breathtaking detail like never before. But what can mapping these complex circuits actually tell us about our behavior? This talk will cover how we came to understand the brain’s connections to modern techniques that for the first time are allowing us to actively shift patterns of thought and behavior
