如何用你的大脑控制他人的手臂 TED 英语演讲 大脑是个很奇妙又复杂的器官。尽管很多人都对大脑十分着迷,他们却讲不出太多关于大脑的特征,以及它是怎样工作的,因为学校没有神经科学的课。 And one of the reasons why is that the equipment is so complex and so expensive that it's really only done at major universities and large institutions. And so in order to be able to access the brain, you really need to dedicate your life and spend six and a half years as a graduate student just to become a neuroscientist to get access to these tools. 其中一个原因就是相应的设备太复杂又太昂贵,这些讨论只有在高等学府和大型讨论机构才能进行。所以为了能够接触到大脑,你几乎需要奉献终生,花六年半的时间在讨论生院学习,只为了成为神经科学家好能够使用那些设备。 And that's a shame because one out of five of us, that's 20 percent of the entire world, will have a neurological disorder. And there are zero cures for these diseases. And so it seems that what we should be doing is reaching back earlier in the eduction process and teaching students about neuroscience so that in the future, they may be thinking about possibly becoming a brain scientist. 很遗憾的是,我们每五个人当中就有一个,也就是全球人口的 20%会受神经性失调的困扰。然而还没有任何方法能治愈这些疾病。这么看来,我们应当从教育的更早期阶段开始就传授给学生神经科学的知识,这样在将来,他们或许会考虑成为脑神经科学家。 When I was a graduate student, my lab mate Tim Marzullo and myself, decided that what if we took this complex equipment that we have for studying the brain and made it simple enough and affordable enoughthat anyone that you know, an amateur or a high school student, could learn and actually participate in the discovery of neuroscience. 当我还是一名讨论生的时候,就与同实验室的 Tim Marzullo 决定,将我们现在讨论大脑用的复杂仪器进行简化,价...
