wanted to share a handful of interesting ted talks pertaining to the brain, anatomically, teleologically, morally and empathically, respectively, and one other.
1. Allan Jones: A map of the brain
2. Daniel Wolpert: The real reason for the brain
3. Paul Zak: Trust, morality -- and oxytocin
4. Rebecca Saxe: How we read each other's minds
5. Finally, in FBI, here I am!, Hasan Elahi presents his terribly detailed response to his local FBI contacts' request that he keep them informed of his activities, which reminded me a bit of the "vain algorithm" haiku, and so much of a previously-posted tedtalk on Deb Roy's data visualization tools that i wanted to post it as a followup.
