are fascinated by the brain,
about how the brain works
neuroscience in schools.
tidak diajarkan di sekolah.
why is that the equipment
karena peralatannya
universities and large institutions.
di universitas atau institusi besar.
to access the brain,
meneliti otak manusia,
as a graduate student
studi pasca sarjana
agar bisa memakai peralatan ini.
to get access to these tools.
because one out of five of us,
karena satu dari lima orang,
will have a neurological disorder.
akan memiliki masalah saraf.
for these diseases.
what we should be doing
in the eduction process
dalam tahap pendidikan
so that in the future,
becoming a brain scientist.
menjadi seorang ahli otak.
saya dan rekan lab saya, Tim Marzullo,
my lab mate Tim Marzullo and myself,
this complex equipment that we have
peralatan kompleks yang kami miliki
enough and affordable enough
dan harganya dibuat terjangkau
or a high school student,
baik seorang amatir maupun pelajar SMU,
in the discovery of neuroscience.
dalam bidang penelitian ilmu saraf.
perusahaan Backyard Brains
a company called Backyard Brains
and I brought some here tonight,
rakit sendiri dan sebagian ada di sini,
(Applause)
(Tepuk tangan)
to record from your brain.
saya akan merekam otakmu.
your arm for science,
demi ilmu pengetahuan,
I'm putting electrodes on your arm,
elektrode di lenganmu,
brain, what am I doing with your arm?
mengapa saya memasang di lengan?
inside your brain right now.
sel saraf di dalam otak.
back and forth, and chemical messages.
mengirimkan pesan elektro dan kimia.
right here in your motor cortex
when you move your arm like this.
kamu menggerakkan lengan seperti ini.
across your corpus callosum,
menuju neuron motorik bawah
to your lower motor neuron
is going to be picked up
akan dilakukan oleh otakmu.
is going to be doing.
what your brain sounds like?
Coba remas tanganmu.
So go ahead and squeeze your hand.
happening right here.
motorik yang sedang bekerja
that are happening
sampai ke otot di sini,
out to her muscle right here,
elektrik yang sedang terjadi di sini.
that's happening here.
dan melihat salah satunya.
and try to see one of them.
happening right now inside of your brain.
yang sedang terjadi di dalam otakmu.
but let's get it better.
tapi ayo kita buat lebih baik.
lengan seperti ini,
down to your muscles right here.
ke otot di sini.
menggerakkan lengan Anda juga.
a signal down to your muscles.
mengirim sinyal ke otot-otot Anda.
a nerve that's right here
these three fingers,
that we might be able
merangsangnya karena posisinya
going out to your hand
otak Anda ke lengan Anda
when your brain tells your hand to move.
otakmu menyuruh lenganmu bergerak.
your free will
kehendak bebas Anda
any control over this hand.
kontrol atas lengan ini.
menyambungkan Anda berdua.
dan menyambungkan ini
and we're going to plug it in
to squeeze your hand again.
over here so that you get the --
sambungkan ke sini supaya dapat --
a little bit weird at first,
(Laughter)
(Gelak tawa)
and someone else becomes your agent,
dan orang lain menjadi perwakilan Anda,
so go ahead and give it a squeeze.
jadi coba Anda remas.
and turn your hand.
ayo gerakkan lengan Anda.
MG: Nope.
MG: Tidak.
MG: A little bit.
MG: Terasa sedikit.
and it's also controlling his arm,
lengan Anda dan lengannya,
if I took over my control of your hand?
mengambil alih kendali atas lengan Anda?
such a good sport.
bersedia berpartisipasi.
all across the world --
di seluruh dunia --
the neuro-revolution.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Greg Gage - NeuroscientistTED Fellow Greg Gage helps kids investigate the neuroscience in their own backyards.
Why you should listen
As half of Backyard Brains, neuroscientist and engineer Greg Gage builds the SpikerBox -- a small rig that helps kids understand the electrical impulses that control the nervous system. He's passionate about helping students understand (viscerally) how our brains and our neurons work, because, as he said onstage at TED2012, we still know very little about how the brain works -- and we need to start inspiring kids early to want to know more.
Before becoming a neuroscientist, Gage worked as an electrical engineer making touchscreens. As he told the Huffington Post: "Scientific equipment in general is pretty expensive, but it's silly because before [getting my PhD in neuroscience] I was an electrical engineer, and you could see that you could make it yourself. So we started as a way to have fun, to show off to our colleagues, but we were also going into classrooms around that time and we thought, wouldn't it be cool if you could bring these gadgets with us so the stuff we were doing in advanced Ph.D. programs in neuroscience, you could also do in fifth grade?" His latest pieces of gear: the Roboroach, a cockroach fitted with an electric backpack that makes it turn on command, and BYB SmartScope, a smartphone-powered microscope.
