In other words, if somebody touches me, my hand, neuron in the somatosensory cortex in the sensory region of the brain fires.

and she says, The neuron? The neuron, and then she looked and did this.

It's visual. It's musical. It's sensorial.

But this is just a single neuron.

So, here's how it stacks up against an entire neuron.

And so when the green neuron wants to communicate, it wants to send a message to the red neuron, it spits out neurotransmitter.

Restoration of basic sensory function is critical.

This is the sensory part of the program, people.

The neighborhood function Θ(u, v, s) depends on the lattice distance between the BMU (neuron u ) and neuron v .

And we can do that for another neuron in green.

If you work on one neuron, that's neuroscience.

So you send a command out, you get sensory feedback back, and that transformation is governed by the physics of your body and your sensory apparatus.

And you can see that the green neuron touches the red neuron at two locations, and these are what are called synapses.

And a neuron, well, that's smaller than brain.

Indeed, their videos take sensory titillation to its limit.

Sensorily, we're taking in all sorts of things mixtures of things that are good, bad, exciting, frightening to come up with that sensorial exposure, that sensation of what's going on.

So there is no neuron in my brain that is the same as another, and there is no neuron in my brain that is the same as in yours.

And the memory system is sitting over the sensory part of the brain.

You have data, and data in neuroscience is sensory input.

You'll find out why it's called a bristlecone pine. A little sensory experience.

I edited out the last bit when I asked, Where is the neuron?

So we're going to imagine we're recording from a single neuron in the hippocampus of this rat here.

So we could think of adding on different, new sensory capacities and mental faculties.

So I have sensory input, which I can take in to make beliefs.

And to do that, I'll tell you about how the brain deals with sensory input.

Now I get an extra source of sensory information due to that external act.

In this diagram, every node is a neuron, and every line is a connection.

Now, the animal mind, and also my mind, puts sensory based information into categories.

Let's zoom in on one synapse, and keep your eyes on the interior of the green neuron.

And when it comes to sensory restoration, we're still very far away from being able to provide beauty.

And in fact you need one laptop to do all the calculations just for one neuron.

And what's true for sensory information is true for information generally.

It copied the posterior part, the back part, which is sensory, and put it in the front part.

If I reach out and pull an object, another neuron will fire, commanding me to pull that object.

Because it's as though this neuron is adopting the other person's point of view.

And so, when you start to look at emergent systems, you can look at a neuron under a microscope.

The one below likes to fire whenever there's a wall close by to the south.

And I want to convince you the brain does make predictions of the sensory feedback it's going to get.

One neuron can be connected to so many other neurons, because there can be synapses at these points of contact.

Right. There's a person at Newcastle who has figured out that it's a very large neuron.

But the same neuron, in some cases, will fire when I simply watch another person being touched.

So we could show the firing rate of that neuron as a function of the animal's location.

There's sensory evidence you can use visual information auditory information, and that might tell you it's going to land in that red spot.

And she's actually figuring out how to make a collision avoidance circuitry based on this very large neuron in the locust.

And what it really says, and what you want to estimate, is the probability of different beliefs given your sensory input.
