I broke into my own house.
es ielauzos pats savā mājā.
in the dead of Montreal winter,
Jeff, across town,
pilsētas otrā malā,
read minus 40 degrees --
if that's Celsius or Fahrenheit,
pēc Celsija vai Fārenheita,
fumbling in my pockets,
taustīdamies pa kabatām,
through the window,
where I had left them.
kur biju tās atstājis.
and tried all the other doors and windows,
visas pārējās durvis un logus,
at least I had my cellphone,
vismaz telefons man bija,
for a locksmith to show up,
līdz viņš ierastos,
Jeff's house for the night
un pārnakšņot pie Džefa,
to Europe the next morning,
my passport and my suitcase.
through the basement window,
un izsitu pagraba logu,
and taped it up over the opening,
on the way to the airport,
un palūgšu logu iestiklot.
and ask him to fix it.
izsaukt atslēdznieku,
than a middle-of-the-night locksmith,
I was coming out even.
izmaksas būs līdzīgas.
about how the brain performs under stress.
strādā stresa apstākļos.
that raises your heart rate,
kas paātrina sirdsdarbību.
that I had to call my contractor,
the cortisol in my brain,
because my thinking was cloudy.
jo mana domāšana bija miglaina.
to the airport check-in counter,
pie lidostas reģistrācijas,
and ice, 40 minutes,
traucos mājup, 40 minūtes,
raced back to the airport,
my seat to someone else,
bija atdota kādam citam,
next to the bathrooms,
lidmašīnas aizmugurē pie tualetēm,
on an eight-hour flight.
un jālido bija astoņas stundas.
during those eight hours and no sleep.
šo astoņu bezmiega stundu laikā.
vai kaut ko var darīt citādāk,
are there things that I can do,
from happening?
of it being a total catastrophe.
totālas katastrofas iespējamību.
tikai pēc aptuveni mēneša.
until about a month later.
Nobela prēmijas ieguvēju,
Danny Kahneman, the Nobel Prize winner,
pastāstīju par izsisto logu
about having broken my window,
something called prospective hindsight.
perspektīvo atpakaļskatu.
from the psychologist Gary Klein,
no psihologa Gerija Kleina,
a few years before,
to figure out what went wrong, right?
kas nogāja greizi, vai ne?
kā skaidroja Denijs,
all the things that could go wrong,
paredzēt visu, kas varētu noiet greizi,
what you can do
ko varētu darīt,
un minimizētu zaudējumus.
or to minimize the damage.
in the form of a pre-mortem.
pre mortem formā.
some of them are not so obvious.
dažas ne tik acīmredzamas.
for things that are easily lost.
kas var viegli pazust.
like common sense, and it is,
to back this up,
mūsu telpiskā atmiņa.
called the hippocampus,
of thousands of years,
of important things --
where fish can be found,
un kur – naidīgās.
vadītājiem kļūst milzīga.
becomes enlarged.
that allows squirrels to find their nuts.
kas vāverēm ļauj atrast riekstus.
somebody actually did the experiment
patiešām ir veikts –
the olfactory sense of the squirrels,
they were using the hippocampus,
tās izmantoja hipokampu,
smadzenēs, lai atrastu lietas.
in the brain for finding things.
that don't move around much,
kas nemaina savu atrašanos,
and reading glasses and passports.
mašīnas atslēgas, lasāmbrilles un pasi.
designate a spot for your keys --
maybe a decorative bowl.
a particular table.
and you're scrupulous about it,
un to stingri ievērojat,
when you look for them.
of your credit cards,
savu kredītkaršu foto,
you can facilitate replacement.
jums būs vieglāk tās atgūt.
the brain releases cortisol.
smadzenes izdala kortizolu.
and it causes cloudy thinking.
un aizmiglo domāšanu.
you're not going to be at your best,
jūsu lemtspēja pasliktināsies
no more stressful a situation
nav lielākas stresa situācijas
with a medical decision to make.
are going to be in that position,
nonāksim šādā situācijā,
a very important decision
or that of a loved one,
sev vai sev tuvajiem,
noteiktu medicīnisku situāciju,
a very particular medical condition.
of medical decision-making,
medicīnisku lēmumu pieņemšanai
and social decision-making --
un sociāla rakstura lēmumiem,
assessment of the facts.
and the doctor says,
pie ārsta un ārsts saka:
your cholesterol's a little high."
ir mazliet paaugstināts."
holesterīna līmenis
of cardiovascular disease,
sirdstriekas un insulta risku.
nav nekas labs, un ārsts saka:
isn't the best thing,
"You know, I'd like to give you a drug
lower your cholesterol, a statin."
holesterīna līmeni – statīnu."
izrakstītajām zālēm mūsdienu pasaulē,
the most widely prescribed drugs
cilvēkus, kas to lieto.
people who take them.
"Jā! Dodiet man statīnu."
"Yeah! Give me the statin."
you should ask at this point,
don't like talking about,
like talking about even less.
that need to take a drug
kuriem jālieto šīs zāles
or any medical procedure
vai medicīniska procedūra,
what kind of crazy statistic is that?
kas tad tā par tādu dīvainu statistiku?
neko tādu, kas nelīdz.
something to me
doesn't work that way.
vainojiet zinātniekus, ieskaitot mani.
it's the fault of scientists like me.
pamatā esošos mehānismus.
the underlying mechanisms well enough.
in only 30 to 50 percent of the people.
tikai 30 līdz 50 procentiem cilvēku.
for the most widely prescribed statin,
visvairāk izrakstītajam statīnam,
before one person is helped?
lai palīdzētu vienam no tiem?

Dakter, raksti tik ārā!"
for another statistic,
pēc vēl kāda statistikas rādītāja,
about the side effects." Right?
in five percent of the patients.
gastrointestinal distress --
gastroenteroloģiskas problēmas, –
diez vai es būšu to vidū,
it's going to happen to me,
ka stresa apstākļos nedomājat skaidri.
you're not thinking clearly.
kā iesiet tam cauri,
to work through this ahead of time,
nebūtu jāveic uz vietas.
the chain of reasoning on the spot.
One person's helped,
5% no 300 ir blaknes,
have side effects,
to be harmed by the drug
ka zāles jums kaitēs,
should take the statin or not.
vai nebūtu jālieto statīns.
ar ārstu tas jāpārrunā.
this conversation with your doctor.
of informed consent.

you want to take the risks or not.
vai vēlaties uzņemties risku.

erekcijas disfunkcija,
of the 50 percent who has these,
un jūs esat šo 50% skaitā,
is to think ahead of time
that you might be able to ask
kas jums varētu būt jāuzdod,
all of this on the spot.
izdomāt uz vietas.
about things like quality of life.
par tādām lietām kā dzīves kvalitāte.
that's pain-free,
a great deal of pain towards the end?

and think about now,
kopā ar ģimeni un tuviniekiem.
in the heat of the moment,
šāda veida domāšanu.
with this kind of thinking.
releases cortisol,
smadzenes izdala kortizolu,
that happens at that moment
you don't need your digestive system,
nav vajadzīga gremošanas sistēma
metabolism on those things
and then none of those things matter.
un tad visam pārējam nav nozīmes.
kas stresa laikā paliek novārtā,
during those times of stress
and his colleagues have shown.
un viņa kolēģi.
to think ahead
is recognizing that all of us are flawed.
ka mēs visi esam nepilnīgi.
to what those failures might be,
kādas šīs kļūdas varētu būt,
that will help minimize the damage,
kas palīdz minimizēt zaudējumus

snowy night in Montreal,
sniegainajā naktī Monreālā –
a combination lock next to the door,
kombināciju atslēgu blakus durvīm,
an easy to remember combination.

Daniel Levitin - NeuroscientistDaniel Levitin incorporates findings from neuroscience into everyday life.
Why you should listen
Dr. Daniel Levitin is a neuroscientist at McGill University in Montreal, dean at Minerva Schools in San Francisco and a musician. His research focuses on pattern processing in the brain.
His three books This Is Your Brain on Music, The World in Six Songs, and the recent The Organized Mind are all bestsellers. A polymath at heart, he has performed with top musicians and holds a few gold and platinum records.
Levitin earned his B.A. in Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science at Stanford University, and went on to earn his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Oregon, researching complex auditory patterns and pattern processing in expert and non-expert populations. He completed post-doctoral training at Stanford University Medical School (in Neuroimaging) and at UC Berkeley (in Cognitive Psychology). He has consulted on audio sound source separation for the U.S. Navy, and on audio quality for several rock bands and record labels (including the Grateful Dead and Steely Dan), and served as one of the “Golden Ears” expert listeners in the original Dolby AC3 compression tests. He worked for two years at the Silicon Valley think tank Interval Research Corporation.
He taught at Stanford University in the Department of Computer Science, the Program in Human-Computer Interaction, and the Departments of Psychology, Anthropology, Computer Music, and History of Science.
