Document Summary

Can we use this information to see what is represented in mind. Can we actually look at someone"s neural activity and know what is in their mind. Golden rule: anatomical difference in brain are related to functional differences in brain. Can we code mind by representations brain translation the brain interprets physical signals using communication that is electrical and chemical the brain consumes an alarming amount of resources for its communication. For example for sight, hearing, chemical senses for raw chemicals in the air, mechanical pressures, somatosenses/bodily senses. The brain doesn"t use any of the above signals they use electrochemical signals. Brain is a huge consumer, needs a lot of energy and oxygen to do its normal functioning the electrochemical signal. Can record electrical activity by an eeg. Erp (electrical related potential): look at electrical activity in concert with behavior, you can see these neurons in activity.
