Brain Power and its Circuitry
1:22:40 - 1:29:41 (07:00)
The conversation dives into the power of the brain and its circuitry, questioning whether the brain's strength lies in the formation of abstractions or the majority of noncomplex circuitry. It emphasizes the importance of considering the implications of writing to the brain, given the tools available in the modern age.

Summary
The recent advancements in two-photon and one-photon microscopy methods, pioneered by engineers, chemists, and physicists, have allowed for deeper brain imaging. However, researchers need to be cautious and thoughtful about what they are trying to write to the brain as there is still limited ability to image deep parts of the brain.
