are fascinated by the brain,
about how the brain works
neuroscience in schools.
idegtudományt az iskolában.
why is that the equipment
hogy csak a legnagyobb egyetemeken
universities and large institutions.
tanítják az idegtudományt.
to access the brain,
hozzáférhess az agyhoz,
as a graduate student
to get access to these tools.
hozzáférhess az eszközökhöz.
because one out of five of us,
mert közülünk ötből egynek,
will have a neurological disorder.
neurológiai rendellenessége van,
for these diseases.
what we should be doing
in the eduction process
so that in the future,
hogy a jövőben a tanulók
becoming a brain scientist.
my lab mate Tim Marzullo and myself,
Tim Marzullo-val
this complex equipment that we have
agy tanulmányozására szolgáló
enough and affordable enough
és elérhetővé tesszük,
or a high school student,
vagy egy középiskolás tanuló
in the discovery of neuroscience.
idegtudomány felfedezésében.
a company called Backyard Brains
Blackyard Brains nevű céget
and I brought some here tonight,
eszközöket csinálunk, hoztam is ma párat
(Applause)
to record from your brain.
felvételezni fogom az agyadat.
your arm for science,
a tudományért,
I'm putting electrodes on your arm,
mert azt mondtam,
brain, what am I doing with your arm?
felvételt, hát mit akarok a karoddal?
inside your brain right now.
az agyadban épp most.
back and forth, and chemical messages.
vissza, valamint kémiai üzeneteket.
right here in your motor cortex
a motoros kéregben
when you move your arm like this.
így mozgatod a kezed.
across your corpus callosum,
to your lower motor neuron
motoros neuronokhoz,
is going to be picked up
fogjuk rögzíteni
is going to be doing.
what your brain sounds like?
So go ahead and squeeze your hand.
Gyerünk, szorítsd össze a kezed!
happening right here.
that are happening
amelyek működnek
out to her muscle right here,
that's happening here.
elektromos aktivitást.
and try to see one of them.
megpróbálhatsz látni egyet.
happening right now inside of your brain.
történik az agyadban.
but let's get it better.
valami még jobbat!
down to your muscles right here.
pontosan ide.
a signal down to your muscles.
a nerve that's right here
these three fingers,
ezt a három ujjat,
that we might be able
going out to your hand
amelyek a kezedbe jutnak,
when your brain tells your hand to move.
ha az ő agya azt parancsolja neki.
your free will
a szabad akaratodat,
any control over this hand.
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,
(Laughter)
(Nevetés)
and someone else becomes your agent,
és valaki más irányít,
so go ahead and give it a squeeze.
gyerünk, szorítsd!
and turn your hand.
mozdítsd a kezed.
MG: Nope.
MG: Nem.
MG: A little bit.
MG: Egy kicsit.
and it's also controlling his arm,
és az ő karját is.
if I took over my control of your hand?
az irányítást a te kezedről?
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.
