Composing a neural map of the human brain

It turns out that our brain is not only the area responsible for vision, hearing or speech, there is even a very a small area, which is activated at a time when we are trying to understand what other people think people;)

The human mind and brain - this is not a single, general-purpose processor, a set of specialized components, each of which is responsible for solving a single specific task, and all together they make us people who are able to think.
Nancy Kenvisher

In his speech at the TED founder of brain scan Kenvisher Nancy talks about how in fact the brain works. With MRI, she studied their brain reaction to certain stimuli and thus trying to figure out what kind of land is responsible for a particular action. It turns out that our brains have a small area, which is activated at a time when we are trying to understand other people think about.

Nancy hopes that with the help of the data will soon become possible to cure of such complex diseases as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and others.
