büyülenmiş olsa da,
are fascinated by the brain,
hakkında pek bir şey söyleyemezler
about how the brain works
sinirbilim öğretmiyoruz.
neuroscience in schools.
why is that the equipment
enstitülerde yapılabiliyor olmasıdır.
universities and large institutions.
to access the brain,
as a graduate student
to get access to these tools.
because one out of five of us,
will have a neurological disorder.
for these diseases.
what we should be doing
in the eduction process
öğretmek gibi gözüküyor,
so that in the future,
olmayı düşünebilirler.
becoming a brain scientist.
Tim Marzullo ve ben,
my lab mate Tim Marzullo and myself,
this complex equipment that we have
tanıdığınız herhangi birinin,
enough and affordable enough
or a high school student,
in the discovery of neuroscience.
a company called Backyard Brains
and I brought some here tonight,
sinirbilimmalzemeleri yaptık
(Applause)
to record from your brain.
your arm for science,
I'm putting electrodes on your arm,
brain, what am I doing with your arm?
ama kolunla neden uğraşıyorum?
inside your brain right now.
back and forth, and chemical messages.
iletiler gönderiyorlar.
right here in your motor cortex
korteksindeki bazı nöronlar
when you move your arm like this.
across your corpus callosum,
to your lower motor neuron
hücresine gelecekler
is going to be picked up
is going to be doing.
what your brain sounds like?
So go ahead and squeeze your hand.
happening right here.
that are happening
out to her muscle right here,
etkinliği görüyorsunuz.
that's happening here.
and try to see one of them.
happening right now inside of your brain.
but let's get it better.
down to your muscles right here.
a signal down to your muscles.
a nerve that's right here
these three fingers,
that we might be able
going out to your hand
when your brain tells your hand to move.
hareket etmesini söylediğinde
your free will
iradeni elinden alacak
hiçbir hükmün kalmayacak,
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,
(Gülüşmeler)
(Laughter)
and someone else becomes your agent,
so go ahead and give it a squeeze.
and turn your hand.
MG: Nope.
MG: A little bit.
and it's also controlling his arm,
devralsam ne olur?
if I took over my control of your hand?
(Alkış)
such a good sport.
teşekkürler arkadaşlar.
all across the world --
the neuro-revolution.
gelişimini başlatacağız.
(Alkış)

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.
