Music Trying to introduce the study of the brain to a bunch of students,
2
I said if understanding everything you needed to know about the brain is a mile,
3
I asked the students how far had we walked in this mile.
4
I got answers, three quarters of a mile, half a mile, someone said a quarter of a mile, and I said I think about three inches.
5
This is unconventional science.
6
There's just this huge gap in our knowledge about how brains work,
7
largely because we have no idea what they actually are made up of at the finest level.
8
When it comes to the nervous system, there are a large number of diseases where the only

12
You've got to see the wires.
13
What we're trying to understand is how cells in the brain communicate with each other.
14
Every little object in here is a little wire.
15
To keep track of these cells from one section to another, what you'd like to do is kind of color them in.
16
So every one of these colors have no meaning other than to keep track of each object from section to section.
17
What this allows us to do is to generate a wiring diagram based on this.
18
We now know everything about these wires here and from
19
that we can generate all the connections of every cell in that area.
20
Information forces you into this uncomfortable position where you have to kind of say,
21
okay I don't get it but I know that the real world is more complicated than the way I'm thinking about it.
22
I feel it's a very long road and we've just started.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
