How does the brain reason with reality? | Arthur Toga | TEDxDonovanCorrectional 2018

Arthur describes the human brain, some of its features and remarkable capabilities, and explains how we have come to know these things by mapping this amazing and fascinating hunk of tissue between our ears. “I am profoundly lucky. I have a wonderful wife and three amazing children. I have a career that has been a string of successes and continues to excite me every day. I have the privilege of working to discover what makes us human and interacting with some of the most intelligent and energetic people in the world. And finding ways of sharing this amazing research with others is a huge passion of mine. What fun!” Arthur is the director of the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging and professor at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. He spends his days working to help understand the brain in health and disease.
