Preliminary reading through NMR

The 9th Summer Davos has been successfully held in Dalian. The theme of this forum is "Drawing a new blueprint for growth." The content will focus on six major themes: scientific change, subverted industry, economic uncertainty, China's new normal, environmental boundaries, and human significance. Tencent Finance will broadcast the entire forum.

Doraiswamy, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Duke University’s Institute of Brain Science, said in the “Scenario Hypothesis: Mind Reading” forum that functional MRI can scan your brain while you are resting or doing certain tasks, and learn about the brain through blood oxygen. action. Only a temporary method, in-depth reflection of the brain.

The following is a partial statement of Murali Doraiswamy's speech:

I would like to mention that mind reading is nuclear magnetic resonance. Functional magnetic resonance can scan your brain while you are resting or doing certain tasks. You can understand brain movements through blood oxygen. Only a temporary method, in-depth reflection of the brain. With MRI, people have already performed preliminary mind reading.

I think an early application, I think this application is very good, and redefine what is brain death, and how to think about it. In the neurological world, hundreds of thousands of people around the world suffer from stroke, brain trauma and other problems that make them unconscious or in vegetative state. Doctors must determine whether brain death or not. If brain death does not require a life support system, families can declare their organs. Donate to others. If they do not die, the hospital needs to make more efforts to get them alive, as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

Until now there is no good technology. The normal way to assess this person is from neurological research, but many times it is not clear. It is possible that a functional MLA has recently been able to do this, although this person cannot speak and can imagine what he does. For example, if a person thinks he can play tennis, he can show that a part of the brain in his cortex emits light, indicating that he really imagines playing tennis. This shows that he is conscious. This person may not have brain death and there is less reaction.

Another part of the patient is assumed to have died of brain and may die for ten years. Doctors and hospitals are considering to turn off his life support system. We can also visually understand whether he is able to understand? He asks a question if you are in pain. If you don't imagine yourself playing tennis, then if you're not in pain, imagine playing tennis? Then we look at the signals. It turns out that he imagined playing tennis and he was not suffering. Scientists began to classify how thousands of image brains respond to different images. For environments with little awareness, you can say what you want to use pizza or what you want. Analyze the brain where the magnetic resonance imaging can be known. In his case, this can help tens of thousands of patients.
