It's visual. It's musical. It's sensorial.

Restoration of basic sensory function is critical.

This is the sensory part of the program, people.

So you send a command out, you get sensory feedback back, and that transformation is governed by the physics of your body and your sensory apparatus.

Indeed, their videos take sensory titillation to its limit.

Sensorily, we're taking in all sorts of things mixtures of things that are good, bad, exciting, frightening to come up with that sensorial exposure, that sensation of what's going on.

And the memory system is sitting over the sensory part of the brain.

You have data, and data in neuroscience is sensory input.

You'll find out why it's called a bristlecone pine. A little sensory experience.

So we could think of adding on different, new sensory capacities and mental faculties.

So I have sensory input, which I can take in to make beliefs.

And to do that, I'll tell you about how the brain deals with sensory input.

Now I get an extra source of sensory information due to that external act.

Now, the animal mind, and also my mind, puts sensory based information into categories.

Nerve damage resulting from diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) and persistent pain after shingles (postherpetic neuralgia) are among the most common causes.

And when it comes to sensory restoration, we're still very far away from being able to provide beauty.

And what's true for sensory information is true for information generally.

It copied the posterior part, the back part, which is sensory, and put it in the front part.

And I want to convince you the brain does make predictions of the sensory feedback it's going to get.

There's sensory evidence you can use visual information auditory information, and that might tell you it's going to land in that red spot.

And what it really says, and what you want to estimate, is the probability of different beliefs given your sensory input.

And the point is that the nature of the model is governed by how it is to be used, rather than by the sensory modality involved.

Because think about it An animal is a sensory based thinker, not verbal thinks in pictures, thinks in sounds, thinks in smells.

Your arm or body moves, and you get sensory feedback from vision, from skin, from muscles and so on.

So as I shake this ketchup bottle, I get some true sensory feedback as the function of time in the bottom row.

In other words, if somebody touches me, my hand, neuron in the somatosensory cortex in the sensory region of the brain fires.

The wiring from your sensory apparatus to those bits is shorter than the bits that have to pass through the thinky bit, the cortex.

And so as the sensory input comes in and feeds from the old brain, it also goes up into the neocortex. And the neocortex is just memorizing.

Contrary to dreams, says Fuchs, the sensual and spatial structure of reality, as perceived during a psychosis, remains intact as a rule .

This is partly motivated by how visual, auditory or other sensory information is handled in separate parts of the cerebral cortex in the human brain.

As I said, I respect other sports, and I compare this sport sometimes to cycling and to mountain climbing and other of the expedition type events, but this is a sensory deprivation, a physical duress.

And the point about Bayesian decision theory is it gives you the mathematics of the optimal way to combine your prior knowledge with your sensory evidence to generate new beliefs.

So for example, if you put your hand under a table and try to localize it with your other hand, you can be off by several centimeters due to the noise in sensory feedback.

Twan Verdonck is really young, I think he's 27, and working together with some psychologist he did a series of toys that are for sensorial stimulation for children that have psychological impairments.

So, if you remember anything in this next 18 minutes, remember this that the light that falls on to your eye, sensory information, is meaningless, because it could mean literally anything.

As we go around, we learn about statistics of the world and lay that down, but we also learn about how noisy our own sensory apparatus is, and then combine those in a real Bayesian way.

And so the experiment really rests on the following What happens in the brain during something that's memorized and over learned, and what happens in the brain during something that is spontaneously generated, or improvised, in a way that's matched motorically and in terms of lower level sensory motor features?

This immaterial form of activity must be intellectual in nature and it cannot be contingent upon sensory perception if it is to remain uniform therefore eternal substance must think only of thinking itself and exist outside the starry sphere, where even the notion of place is undefined for Aristotle.
