O conceito de membro fantasma foi popularizado no livro Fantasmas no Cérebro, escrito por V. S. Ramachandran, médico neurologista, e Sandra Blakeslee, jornalista de ciência. Neste episódio vamos discutir sobre os processo neurológicos que envolvem esse curioso fenômeno.

En esta Luna de Lobos vamos a abordar cuáles son las consecuencias de un divorcio, de una separación en la salud mental y en el desarrollo de los hijos. Y lo vamos a hacer a través de un estudio muy interesante de la psicóloga Judith Wallerstein, publicado bajo el nombre de: "El Inesperado Legado del Divorcio". Hay que indicar que Judith Wallerstein está considerada como la primera autoridad mundial acerca de los efectos que produce el divorcio en los niños. Hay otras profesionales destacadas como Julia Lewis y Sandra Blakeslee. El estudio de Wallerstein nos muestra lo que ha sucedido 25 años después en la vida de varios niños que vieron separarse a sus padres y que ahora son adultos. Por eso es tan interesante. Para bordar este asunto hablamos con la psicóloga sanitaria Blanca Inés Santamaría, experta en terapia de pareja, psicología infantil y trastornos alimenticios.

In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Jeff Hawkins about the nature of intelligence. They discuss how the neocortex creates models of the world, the role of prediction in sensory-motor experience, cortical columns, reference frames, thought as movement in conceptual space, the future of artificial intelligence, AI risk, the “alignment problem,” the distinction between reason and emotion, the “illusory truth effect,” bad outcomes vs existential risk, and other topics. Jeff Hawkins is a scientist whose life-long interest in neuroscience led to the co-founding and creation of Numenta, a team of scientists and engineers applying neuroscience principles to machine intelligence research. His research focuses on how the cortex learns predictive models of the world through sensation and movement. In 2002, he founded the Redwood Neuroscience Institute, where he served as Director for three years. The institute is currently located at U.C. Berkeley. Previously, he co-founded two companies, Palm and Handspring, where he designed products such as the PalmPilot and Treo smartphone. Jeff has written two books, On Intelligence (2004 with Sandra Blakeslee) and A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence (2021). Jeff earned his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University in 1979. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2003.

本集主題：「髒養：美國頂尖科學家談細菌對寶寶免疫力的益處，從孕前起的105個育兒Q&A」新書介紹 專訪企劃： 沈嘉悅 內容簡介： 收起你的抗菌小道具， 因為你可能在無形中，阻礙了孩子免疫系統的發展！ 「過敏，是過度清潔造成的嗎？」 「可不可以養狗、貓或其他寵物？」 「掉在地上的東西可以撿起來吃嗎」 「細菌會影響孩子的學習力嗎？」 「自閉症與腸道細菌有關係嗎？」 「我可以在哺乳期間服用抗生素嗎？」 「益生菌優格可以治療尿布疹嗎？」 「寶寶出生前後，我感到很沮喪，跟細菌有關嗎？」 「我的孩子可以吃泥土嗎？」 作者每週都收到來自全世界父母的提問，這只是其中一部分。 網路上充滿了細菌的風險與好處的各種訊息，但多數人常把細菌和病菌（或病毒）混淆。事實上，在我們體內這群微小、肉眼看不見的友善微生物（包含細菌），能幫助我們消化食物、製造維他命、預防疾病，以及雕塑我們的器官、調和我們的免疫系統，甚至能形塑我們的行為，對我們的健康影響甚鉅。當我們認定細菌是有害的，並以各種手段消滅牠們時，各項慢性疾病如：肥胖症、氣喘、過敏、糖尿病、乳糜瀉（celiac）、腸躁症、類風濕性關節炎……等，將有如打開潘朵拉的盒子一樣，向人類反撲而來。 ★我們的老祖宗說：「骯髒吃，骯髒大！」 我們的身體是從一個充滿微生物的世界演化而來的。這些微生物圍繞在我們身體的裡面和表面，少了牠們，我們將無法存活。而牠們所負責的任務中最關鍵的一項，就是發展我們的免疫系統。 根據「衛生假說」（hygiene hypothesis），當孩子幼年時，若缺少與多樣微生物接觸的機會，將抑制免疫系統的正常發展，進而增加罹患過敏性疾病的可能性。有足夠的證據顯示，孩子與農場動物和多種類的植物接觸，可以降低特異體質過敏症的風險，減少過敏性鼻炎、食物過敏、氣喘和皮膚過敏（異位性皮膚炎）的機率。這就是為什麼泥土或髒汙這麼好的原因。 孩子接觸無害的細菌時，細菌不但不會殖民人體，還會用複雜的特性訓練他們的免疫系統。但是現代社會生活型態，破壞了這美好的願景。過度清潔的生活習慣與環境，或是服用過多的抗生素，使那些負責照料免疫系統的微生物蕩然無存。 ★盡早讓孩子接觸豐富多元的微生物，讓孩子從出生起，就擁有健全的免疫系統 《髒養》以科學家的專業角度，深入淺出的問答方式，介紹微生物和人類免疫系統之間的交互作用，破解多數人對「細菌」的刻板印象，回答父母育兒時期的種種疑慮，建立更全面的科學育兒知識。這些來自大量數據與研究成果的科學證據，不僅可以回答細菌與健康的相關問題，同時還能為全世界的醫生和臨床醫療人員所依賴的研究論文奠定基礎。 本書的目標，是希望透過微生物對孩子健康發展的影響，提出最好的科學建議。什麼樣的程序、藥物、食物、環境暴露和日常作息，能幫助或是傷害生命初期的幼兒？怎麼保護他們？何者有效、何者無效？該如何判斷孩子走在正確或錯誤的發展軌道上？相信在讀完這本書後，將為你帶來耳目一新的收穫。 作者簡介： 傑克•紀伯特博士JACK GILBERT, Ph.D. 美國芝加哥大學外科教授、微生物研究所所長。 羅布•奈特博士ROB KNIGHT, Ph.D. 美國加州大學聖地牙哥分校兒科教授暨計算機科學與工程教授。擔任微生物群系創新中心主持人、地球微生物群系計畫與美國腸道計畫共同主持人。 珊卓拉•布萊克斯里SANDRA BLAKESLEE 擔任《紐約時報》醫藥記者45年以上，贏得許多新聞獎。

Learn How a New Understanding of the Brain Will Lead to the Creation of Truly Intelligent Machines. In today’s modern world, our relationship with computers has become revolutionary with the invention of artificial intelligence. Today, we can talk to our devices and, even better, they can answer. We have created a world that, in the past, was only seen in science fiction books and movies. But there is still something missing. Artificial intelligence is just that… artificial. But what if we could create computers that have real intelligence? What if we built computers that work the same way our brains do? Through On Intelligence, Hawkins presents a powerful theory of how the human brain works and explains why computers are not intelligent. According to this theory, we will finally be able to build intelligent machines. So what kind of intelligent machines can we begin to expect in the future? How will these machines change the way we live? Or interact with one another? As you read, you’ll learn how the human brain is superior to the computer, why robots will never take over the world, and what kinds of technology you might see in the future. *** Do you want more free audiobook summaries like this?

In this episode, I interview Leslee Lazar, a cognitive neuroscientist and visual artist. He is a professor at IIT Gandhinagar, at the Centre for Cognitive and Brain Science, working on processing of tactile perception in the somatosensory cortex of the brain. He is passionate about art and design, and uses illustrations, graphic design, infographics, collages and photography to convey complex stories. Neuroscientist by day, visual artist by evening, his research interests include understanding creativity and perception of art from a Neuroscience point of view. He has some amazing artworks, illustrations and posters that I'd recommend you to check out on his Instagram and Tumblr accounts, links to which can be found below. In this episode, we talk about his journey - from Zoology to Neuroscience, his work on touch perception, about creativity, and about how we as humans share an innate appreciation for art and beauty. On the intersection of Computer Science and Neuroscience, I asked him about brain computer interfaces, like the ones being developed at Neuralink, and his thoughts on possibility of being able to model a digital brain one day. In the end, he shares some advice for people taking interest in Neuroscience and a list of books people can refer to, to get started. This video was recorded before the lockdown in India. If you enjoyed the conversation or learned something valuable from it, please give it a thumb's up or a 5-star rating depending on the streaming platform - it really helps the channel and allows more people to discover it.

First in what will be a series of interpretive readings of primary documents from United States history, this episode offers a three-voice arrangement of a few of Paine’s most dramatic paragraphs from his historically influential polemic against the King of England in 1776. Directed by Stone Ridge Head of Upper School Dramatics, Sandra Blakeslee, students Michelle Saunders, Caroline Friedrichs, and Grace Towern give dramatic voice to one of our nation’s formative documents in this three minute reading.

In the 1970s psychologist David Rosenhan sent healthy volunteers to 12 psychiatric hospitals, where they claimed to be hearing voices. Once they were admitted, they behaved normally, but the hospitals diagnosed all of them as seriously mentally ill. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the Rosenhan experiment, which challenged the validity of psychiatric diagnosis and set off a furor in the field. We'll also spot hawks at Wimbledon and puzzle over a finicky payment processor. Intro: In 2002, Burkard Polster investigated the mathematics of shoelaces. A raindrop that lands on Montana's Triple Divide Peak might arrive at any of three oceans. Sources for our feature on the Rosenhan experiment: Roger R.

  In order to accomplish amazing illusions and magic tricks, performers of prestidigitation must be well versed in the art of deception; thus, it is not surprising that many of the world's most renowned skeptics are also world-class magicians. This week on Skepticality, Swoopy talks with Dr. Stephen L. Macknik and Dr. Susana Martinez-Conde, co-authors of Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals About Our Everyday Deceptions (with Sandra Blakeslee). Both are laboratory directors at the Barrow Neurological Institute and columnists at ScientificAmerican.com - experience they bring to their multi-year, world-wide exploration of magic (with a team of advisors including Jamy Ian Swiss, the late Jerry Andrus, and James "The Amazing" Randi). Can ancient principles of the conjurer's trade be explained using the latest discoveries of cognitive neuroscience? Find out on this episode!  

Sensory events are conveyed to our brains and interpreted in specialized maps of the outside world. On this program, Sandra Blakeslee discussed the function of these body maps in the brain.
