Synaptopathy and the Bayesian brain with Karl Friston | WIRED Health

In this talk, Karl Friston, the world’s most frequently cited neuroscientist (according to the Paul Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence) talks about how the brain truly works and shares his novel theory that can radically change how we treat mental illness and revolutionise artificial intelligence.
"There is common ground when treating our brains as statistical organs - making sense of the world by testing hypotheses (about states of affairs beyond our skulls) against sensory evidence. By drilling down into the ways in which this sense-making can go wrong, we identify some key aspects of neuronal message passing that underwrite our ability to attend and ignore various sources of evidence - aspects that can, in principle, be measured non-invasively."

Such a shame he couldn't finish :(

[@dalibofurnell]

Agreed

[@HiAdrian]

Yes, that was unfortunate. Interesting topic.

I'm quitting this (at 3:20) because of the moving graphics in the background. Who the-f thought that was a good idea? This is a subject I would like to learn about but I simply cannot pay attention and using it as an audio only file is conceptually limited and a persistent reminder of why it's being used that way. Good grief!!
