The Big Brain Theory is an American television show on the Discovery Channel that first aired in 2013, hosted by Kal Penn. [2] Eight episodes were produced. [3]
A synthesis has been attempted recently [29] by Karl Friston, in which the Bayesian brain emerges from a general principle of free energy minimisation. [30] In this framework, both action and perception are seen as a consequence of suppressing free-energy, leading to perceptual [ 31 ] and active inference [ 32 ] and a more embodied (enactive ...
Holonomic brain theory is a branch of neuroscience investigating the idea that consciousness is formed by quantum effects in or between brain cells. Holonomic refers to representations in a Hilbert phase space defined by both spectral and space-time coordinates. [ 1 ]
The extreme male brain theory (EMB), put forward by Baron-Cohen [4] suggests that autistic brains show an exaggeration of the features associated with male brains. These are mainly size and connectivity with males generally having a larger brain with more white matter , leading to increased connectivity in each hemisphere. [ 4 ]
In 2013, Stroup appeared in the first season of Discovery Channel's reality TV series The Big Brain Theory: Pure Genius, [12] an engineering competition consisting of 10 contestants from across the country, which aired from May to June 2013. Each week contestants were put to the test, competing against each other in two teams to design, build ...
The theory posits that the human mind once operated in a state in which cognitive functions were divided between one part of the brain that appears to be "speaking" and a second part that listens and obeys—a bicameral mind—and that the breakdown of this division gave rise to consciousness in humans.
The quantum mind or quantum consciousness is a group of hypotheses proposing that local physical laws and interactions from classical mechanics or connections between neurons alone cannot explain consciousness, [1] positing instead that quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement and superposition that cause nonlocalized quantum effects, interacting in smaller features of the brain than ...
The Neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) formalism is used as a major step towards explaining consciousness. The NCC are defined to constitute the minimal set of neuronal events and mechanisms sufficient for a specific conscious percept, and consequently sufficient for consciousness.
