… we also found that people perceived adverse events more positively if they had experienced them in the past. Recording brain activity while these reappraisals took place revealed that highlighting the positive within the negative involves, once again, a téte-a-téte between the f...

…counterpoint that applied at the time. We don’t have these composers personal rule sets because they were held in their brain and they are, of course, long since dead. It is statistically likely that most pieces are non-computable because there are an uncountably infinite number...

…alas, the perils of running a new center, that I no longer control my schedule like in the good old days. But the Obama BRAIN Initiative is running strong, and MIT has a good bid for a seat at the table, so that is good. Want to revisit a time for a chat? My schedule is now much...

… computers or quantum gravity computers to make AGI. However, there is no evidence of this at this stage. Of course the brain like all matter is described by quantum mechanics, but this doesn’t imply that the brain is a “macroscopic quantum system” in a strong sense (like, say, a...

…, began his career as a scientist. After studying biology at John Hopkins University, he did a doctorate in anatomy and brain research at the University of California at Los Ange- les in the 1960s. Brain science and consciousness remain major inter- ests of his. His first involv...

…tal consequence of promiscuity, including an intimate coupling between the systems of aggression and reward. As several brain imaging studies reveal, when we either anticipate or actually punish another, or even witness punishment as a mere bystander, our reward circuitry deliver...

…hatever success I’d had as a soldier, particularly in Matkal, was not only, nor even mainly, about biceps. It was about brains. The ability to make decisions. To withstand the pressure of often having to make the most crucial decisions within a matter of seconds. It was, above al...

…d Development of Ethics We realize this point may be somewhat contentious — a counter-argument would be that the human brain is known to support at least moderately ethical behavior, according to human ethical standards, whereas less brain-like AGI systems are much less well und...

…e.g. with hand-coded declarative knowledge as in Cyc, SOAR and other "GOFAI" type systems. On the other hand, the human brain receives its inductive bias much more subtly and implicitly, both via the specifics of the initial structure of the cognitive cortex, and via ongoing coup...

…at.’ How might these cognitions and perceptions influence physiology and health? As Berntson shows in his chapter, the brain regions involved in emotional and perceptual processes are intimately related to brain regions involved in the regulation of physiological systems. This i...
