and I brought some here tonight,
для опытов в нейробиологии,
и хочу провести демонстрацию.

to record from your brain.
мы запишем сигнал из вашего мозга.
your arm for science,
ради науки,
I'm putting electrodes on your arm,
сигналы мозга, что он делает с рукой?
brain, what am I doing with your arm?
порядка 80 миллиардов нейронов.
inside your brain right now.
back and forth, and chemical messages.
и химические сообщения туда-обратно.

как звучит ваш мозг?
what your brain sounds like?
Начнём, сожмите руку.
So go ahead and squeeze your hand.

вот здесь.
that are happening
out to her muscle right here,
that's happening here.

but let's get it better.
down to your muscles right here.
подвигали рукой.
a signal down to your muscles.
сигнал мышцам.
a nerve that's right here
these three fingers,
и двигает этими тремя пальцами.
и, возможно, нам удастся
that we might be able

when your brain tells your hand to move.
когда ваш мозг подаст ей команду.
your free will
она отнимет вашу свободу воли,
any control over this hand.
контролировать эту руку.
и мы всё это подключим
and we're going to plug it in
to squeeze your hand again.
over here so that you get the --
a little bit weird at first,
немного странное ощущение,
(Laughter)
(Смех)
and someone else becomes your agent,
и кто-то вас контролирует,
so go ahead and give it a squeeze.
так что смело сжимайте.
and turn your hand.
MG: Nope.
МГ: Неа.
MG: A little bit.
МГ: Немного.
(Смех)
and it's also controlling his arm,
и его руку тоже,
(Смех)
if I took over my control of your hand?
если я буду контролировать вашу руку?
such a good sport.
all across the world --
the neuro-revolution.

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.
