Manipulating Brains
The desire to manipulate brain function is not new. In manipulating brain function the goal is to manipulate behaviour and we have been manipulating behaviour for the whole of our evolution as social animals. Primates, such as ourselves, living in social groups carry out mind manipulation with astonishing speed and accuracy throughout the day. We are all a little friendlier, some unknowingly, o...
متن کاملHot brains: manipulating body heat to save the brain.
CONSIDER A DISEASE with high mortality, severe morbidity, unknown pathogenesis, imprecise diagnostic features, and no known cure—in short, a condition with no hope. One can only offer soothing words and symptomatic remedy. Then, there is hope. Anecdotal observations lead to a new hypothesis. A pilot trial indicates that 6 of 9 treated patients “unexpectedly recover.” Larger studies follow and s...
متن کاملHallucinating Brains with Artificial Brains
Human brain function as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), exhibits a rich diversity. In response, understanding the individual variability of brain function and its association with behavior has become one of the major concerns in modern cognitive neuroscience. Our work is motivated by the view that generative models provide a useful tool for understanding this variabili...
متن کاملBrains have emulators with brains: Emulation economized
This commentary addresses the neural implementation of emulation, mostly using findings from functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Furthermore, both empirical and theoretical suggestions are discussed that render two aspects of emulation theory redundant: independent modal emulators and extra measurement of amodal emulation. This modified emulation theory can conceptually integrate simu...
متن کاملManipulating Perception
Maurice Merleau-Ponty observed that consciousness exists in the world and experience of things in the world exist in consciousness. We similarly believe that the physiological foundations of perception exist in the world and can be acted upon. As way of argument, we describe the experience of several devices that manipulate the precepts. Such devices act on consciousness but also the set of thi...
