I remember eating the eyes of a fish right out of the sea because he told me it was brain food.

Cool thing number two, you can grow any type of tissue out of them: brain, heart, liver, you get the picture, but out of your cells.

So we can make a model of your heart, your brain on a chip.

So this animal here has got a brain about the size of a grain of rice, and yet it can do things that you and I couldn't possibly entertain the idea of doing.

And what's of interest here is that little brain is quite cool.

So what have we learned from these animals with a brain that's the size of a grain of rice?

I do experiments to test how different chemicals in the brain influence the choices we make.

A few years ago, my colleagues and I were interested in how a brain chemical called serotonin would influence people's decisions in social situations.

We manipulated people's serotonin levels by giving them this really disgusting-tasting artificial lemon-flavored drink that works by taking away the raw ingredient for serotonin in the brain.

Trial or no trial, these claims are front and center on their label right next to a picture of a brain.

For half the people, the article included a brain image, and for the other half, it was the same article but it didn't have a brain image.

And this is how much they agree with the same article that did include a brain image.

Put a brain on it.

Now let me pause here and take a moment to say that neuroscience has advanced a lot in the last few decades, and we're constantly discovering amazing things about the brain.

Like, just a couple of weeks ago, neuroscientists at MIT figured out how to break habits in rats just by controlling neural activity in a specific part of their brain.

So the first unproven claim is that you can use brain scans to read people's thoughts and emotions.

They put 16 people inside a brain scanner and showed them videos of ringing iPhones.

The brain scans showed activation in a part of the brain called the insula, a region they say is linked to feelings of love and compassion.

My colleagues Tal Yarkoni and Russ Poldrack have shown that the insula pops up in almost a third of all brain imaging studies that have ever been published.

So speaking of love and the brain, there's a researcher, known to some as Dr. Love, who claims that scientists have found the glue that holds society together, the source of love and prosperity.

SPECT imaging is a brain-scanning technology that uses a radioactive tracer to track blood flow in the brain.

The broad consensus in neuroscience is that we can't yet diagnose mental illness from a single brain scan.

We haven't found a "buy" button inside the brain, we can't tell whether someone is lying or in love just by looking at their brain scans, and we can't turn sinners into saints with hormones.

If someone tries to sell you something with a brain on it, don't just take them at their word.

The answers shouldn't be simple, because the brain isn't simple.

And we know just an amazing amount more about the brain now than we did 10 years ago.

This is a brain.

And what we want to do as neuroscientists in this time is to actually listen to these symphonies, these brain symphonies, and try to extract from them the messages they carry.

And if we can actually provide feedback, sensory signals that go back from this robotic, mechanical, computational actuator that is now under the control of the brain, back to the brain, how the brain deals with that, of receiving messages from an artificial piece of machinery.

That's the exact first moment a brain intention was liberated from the physical domains of a body of a primate and could act outside, in that outside world, just by controlling an artificial device.
