Thank you for the lecture on language and the role it plays in the brain. The relationship between the language and the thought and how it differs and how it overlaps is a great discovery. Thanks to Dr.Nancy and MIT.

Wow! I’m loving this course.

For some people at least (myself amongst them), colors don't have to have names to be remembered, or compared mentally. Thinking in pictures, without words, is definitely a thing!

37:30 As a foreigner living in Germany, I also feel the same, because my local language is restricted, but my experience of the world is unchanged. Except they really turning right these years.

That is amazing .. the Dog Understands the fundamentals of sentence structure and building blocks of language. Subject/predicate. Verb action= find Subject-predicate=noun(sound). “Dog” does-find(verb) noun(Darwin).

language and thinking, very deep and meaningful topic ~

My neighbor Brad had a stroke and cannot find his words but can understand EVERYTHING you tell him....He is the original inspiration for my neurological studies the last 4 years ♥️🥸 i make it a point to visit him often, we work on structuring words 😊🧠😇 so wild

Great lecture

That is amazing …. This looks so similar with my frame-work, yet so different.. wow… so our brains are designed to recreate its own working subjectively-interpreting by vision just by being creating? Whereby in the process of being creative and just creating you may stumble across some advanced-higher-complex-mathematics understanding that manifest by its own design?

I find it maximally weak per their data (even in the earlier lectures) to argue - conclude that language is a necessary condition for reorientation, even from the earlier presentations, too many obvious confounders, 1) the left brain does so much more than language ; it’s the analytical brain (cutting edge studies in behavioral neuroscience from Harvard have shown this), 2) the left brain is rudimentary in infants 3) the ‘verbal shadowing ‘ done in adults who showed persistent disorientation; the glaring confounder there is attention which is effectively being deprived or inhibited in verbal shadowing , you need full attention to perform a cognitively challenging task especially on top of having an amygdala -stimulating task such getting lost and while being disoriented. It was not because they couldn’t use language to reorient

I'm pretty sure there is an interview with the girl with Williams Syndrome mentioned at 35:10 at the Special Books by Special Kids (SBSK) KZfaq Chanel.

Shark does bite man. Man Bite does Shark. Vs Shark bites man. Man bites shark.

As to the issue: can we think without language: there are numerous examples about people in professions which dont really need a language: architect, painter.

So it's empirically verified that we can think without language, but we cannot learn without language. But, assuming that thinking is necessary for learning, which (depending on your definitions) may be arguable, then I was wondering where this leaves Decartes' 'Cogito'? Is the thought correct, but the actual statement incorrect? I'm in a bit of a Wittgensteinianesque state of confusion.

BINGO. 3 MORE TO GK

I wonder how Chaser would perform on The aphasia studies 42:00

Does basically this could be used to predict the outcome of a live-system for game-play?? Could this be used using the standard chi-squared analysis, is that a thing?

Nice

Could each cellphone user be its own matrix with Google being the observer

41:10 can think 🤔?

It Seems As Though A Complex Language May Be More Likely To Arise In Long Established Populations Of Communal Animals. Complex Language Is A Technology That Is Constucted Over Centuries Of Tradition, Innovated Upon By Successive Generations, And Tempered By The General Range And Sum Of Experiential Contexts. The Way We Typically Process Language And Contextual Information As Humans, May Not Always Equivalently Transpose The Entire Volume Of Data Recognized, Transmitted, And/Or Recieved By Other Species.

I Live Next To An Animal Shelter, And I Can Tell You With Neighborly Confidence That At Least Some Other Animals Communicate Quite Extensively.

thank you Nova and that physics bloke for (albeit unintentionally) revealing why so many people have dogs - it's because they're desperate to be top dog leader and dogs are desperate to be led, to please the leader. Both sides get what they want.

I don t englidh
