Well we need a neural interface, a way to connect to our nervous system or our thought processes so that it's intuitive, it's natural, like for you and I. Well the body works by starting a motor command in your brain, going down your spinal cord, out the nerves and to your periphery.

You touch yourself, there's a stimulus that comes up those very same nerves back up to your brain.

So you might say, let's go to the brain and put something in the brain to record signals, or in the end of the peripheral nerve and record them there.

His brain is thinking about his arm.

Now luckily, oxytocin is produced both in the brain and in the blood, so I could do this experiment without learning neurosurgery.

But why? Well by measuring oxytocin we found that the more money the second person received, the more their brain produced oxytocin, and the more oxytocin on board, the more money they returned.

So to make the experiment, I knew I'd have to go into the brain and manipulate oxytocin directly.

I used everything short of a drill to get oxytocin into my own brain.

What does it feel like when your brain is flooded with oxytocin?

To investigate this question, we ran an experiment where we had people watch a video of a father and his four year-old son, and his son has terminal brain cancer.

The victim's brain releases oxytocin, and you're opening up your wallet or purse, giving away the money.

And in neuroscience, we have to deal with many difficult questions about the brain.

But I want to start with the easiest question and the question you really should have all asked yourselves at some point in your life, because it's a fundamental question if we want to understand brain function.

Not all species on our planet have brains, so if we want to know what the brain is for, let's think about why we evolved one.

If you think about this question for any length of time, it's blindingly obvious why we have a brain.

We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements.

There is no other reason to have a brain.

And the first thing it does in implanting on that rock, which it never leaves, is to digest its own brain and nervous system for food.

So once you don't need to move, you don't need the luxury of that brain.

Now if movement is so important, how well are we doing understanding how the brain controls movement?

We have no idea what is going on inside her brain when she does that, and that's what we'd like to know.

Now what I want to convince you of is the brain also goes through a lot of effort to reduce the negative consequences of this sort of noise and variability.

And it's more recently a unifying way to think about how the brain deals with uncertainty.

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

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

But you can imagine looking inside the brain.

And here's inside the brain.

And based on this illustration, we really convinced ourselves in the field that the brain's making precise predictions and subtracting them off from the sensations.

So it re-shows the brain makes predictions and fundamentally changes the precepts.

So if I take some dots and set them in motion with biological motion, your brain's circuitry would understand instantly what's going on.
