"I think, therefore, I am."

00:07

But am I?

00:08

I think. Ha.

00:10

A single microscopic brain cell cannot think,

00:14

is not conscious,

00:15

but if you bring in a few more brain cells,

00:17

and a few more, and connect them all,

00:18

at a certain point, the group itself will

00:21

be able to think

00:24

and experience emotions

00:25

and have opinions and a personality

00:27

and know that it exists.

00:30

How can such astonishing things

00:32

be made from such simple ingredients?

00:35

Well, answering that question means learning not only who we are,

00:38

but, more importantly, how we are.

00:42

Today, using what neuroscientists know so far,

00:46

I am going to make my hometown

00:48

function like a brain!

00:51

( all cheering, applauding )

00:57

01:11

A single brain cell is tiny,

01:14

both in size and abilities.

01:18

But when enough are together, they can do amazing things

01:22

like be aware of themselves.

01:25

When the collective power of a group working together

01:28

is greater than the sum of their individual parts,

01:31

that is called "emergence."

01:33

In a similar fashion, we as individuals

01:36

are connected to the people around us.

01:38

Those connections form communities that, when functioning properly,

01:41

can work together to accomplish amazing feats.

01:44

A great example is "wisdom of the crowds."

01:48

Even if not a single person in a crowd

01:51

knows the right answer to a question,

01:54

collectively, they could all somehow know the right answer.

01:58

In 1987, economist Jack Treynor

02:01

conducted the "Bean Jar" experiment.

02:03

He asked 56 students to guess the number of jellybeans in a jar.

02:09

Now, as you can probably guess,

02:11

not a single one of them guessed the right answer.

02:14

But amazingly, when he took the average of their guesses,

02:18

what he got was a number within just 3% of the real answer.

02:22

Now, some people guessed way too high,

02:25

but others guessed way too low,

02:27

so all together, their errors balanced out,

02:30

and from a whole bunch of wrong guesses,

02:33

the true answer emerged.

02:36

What else can a crowd do?

02:37

If I got a bunch of humans together

02:39

and had each one of them act like a brain cell,

02:42

turning on or off in response to the actions of other people,

02:46

could I make a neural network

02:48

like the one in our brain?

02:51

And if I had enough people,

02:53

could intelligence, emotions,

02:56

a mind, emerge?

02:58

If I recruited every single person

03:01

in the country of China

03:03

and arranged them like neurons,

03:05

would the result not only be a simple brain,

03:08

but something that can think and feel

03:11

and be aware of its own existence?

03:13

Well, this is the China Brain thought experiment,

03:16

first proposed by Lawrence Davis and, later, Ned Block.

03:20

It's never been done before and, well, unfortunately,

03:24

I don't have access to everyone in China.

03:27

I made some calls, and like a lot of them are busy.

03:29

But the first step is to see what a crowd in real life

03:32

could even do.

03:33

This hasn't been done successfully before,

03:35

but I want to blow a neural network

03:38

up to the scale of a crowd.

03:40

And what better crowd to use than one made of the people

03:43

whose emergent properties made me who I am today?

03:47

That's right, I am going home to Stilwell, Kansas.

03:50

03:56

03:58

( birds chirping )

04:02

Michael: For help designing the brain

04:03

we would make out of people,

04:04

I recruited Chris Eliasmith,

04:06

director of the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience

04:09

at the University of Waterloo.

04:11

So Chris, we're headed south,

04:13

going down to the heart of Stilwell,

04:15

- where I grew up. - Nice.

04:17

We're going to do something a little bit weird. Um.

04:19

I want to create a brain.

04:22

- Right. - OK? But with a crowd of people.

04:25

It sounds like a challenge, for sure.

04:28

I looked into it,

04:29

and I found that the roundworm has a brain

04:32

that's made up of only 300-some-odd neurons.

04:34

- That's right. - We can get 300 people,

04:36

and where better to get these people to make a brain

04:39

than my hometown of Stilwell?

04:44

This was the community that, in many ways, made me who I am.

04:51

Michael: This is all downtown Stilwell.

04:53

Some of my earliest memories are from here.

04:58

This used to be, and maybe still is, a feed store,

05:01

and they would have sno-cones during the summer.

05:03

It was the most awesome, delicious thing ever.

05:08

But as you can see,

05:09

a lot of corn is grown in Kansas,

05:11

but around here, the main thing that I saw being grown

05:15

- was just sod. - Oh, really?

05:16

Yeah, There's a famous sod farm around here

05:18

whose slogan was "High on grass."

05:20

- ( Chris laughs ) - It was pretty...pretty edgy for the time.

05:26

OK, so back to the brain that we're gonna make.

05:29

You know, building brains is in my job description.

05:31

I wrote a book called How to Build a Brain.

05:33

Michael: Chris is known for is neural network,

05:35

the Semantic Pointer Architecture Unified Network,

05:38

or SPAUN, which is one of the world's most complex

05:41

computer simulations of the brain.

05:43

It uses 6.6 million simulated neurons

05:46

to perform functions like counting, reasoning,

05:49

and image recognition.

05:51

SPAUN is cutting-edge,

05:52

but neural networks are nothing new.
