The Beauty of Lowering an Electrode into the Cortex
1:10:08 - 1:22:40 (12:32)
Lowering an electrode into the cortex can result in beautiful experiences such as hearing the hash or few syllables being shouted down the optic nerve and converted into a different language in the brain, or finding single neurons that respond only to specific faces.

The circadian clock in your body informs every cell about the time of day, ensuring proper functioning with light exposure at proper times.
1:10:08 - 1:13:35 (03:27)
Summary
The circadian clock in your body informs every cell about the time of day, ensuring proper functioning with light exposure at proper times. Outcomes such as cancer and diabetes can improve with the appropriate regulation of light cycles.

Color vision is about red, green, blue and circles brighter or dimmer than what's next to it.
1:13:35 - 1:14:52 (01:16)
Summary
Color vision is about red, green, blue and circles brighter or dimmer than what's next to it. These few syllables are converted into a totally different language like Morse code that goes into the brain and the thalamus then responds in the same way that the retina does.

The brain processes visual information hierarchically from the retina to the cortex.
1:14:52 - 1:16:55 (02:03)
Summary
The brain processes visual information hierarchically from the retina to the cortex. Nancy Kanwisher's study supports that we have specific neurons that respond only to known faces.

The experience of lowering an electrode into the cortex to show a stimulus can reveal an auditory sensation and convert recordings into an audio signal.
1:17:47 - 1:22:40 (04:52)
Summary
The experience of lowering an electrode into the cortex to show a stimulus can reveal an auditory sensation and convert recordings into an audio signal. Although this technique is usually used on neocortex, subcortical structures are more like machines.
