Awaken The Driver Within
The Self-Driving You blog is about evoking awareness and awakening the driver within to rewire our self-driving vehicles for success and better health. The first 30 blogs are chapters from the Self-Driving You book, which provides all the information needed to understand your brain and how to make the most of it. Subsequent blogs will expand on these concepts as we put them into practice to rewire our brains for who we want to be. The Self-Driving You provides all the information needed to get started; the rest is up to you.
The Self-Driving You
Chapter 1- An Introduction To The Self-Driving You
Imagine being behind the wheel of a brand-new self-driving vehicle sometime in the future. It is not fully autonomous, but the car does 90 percent of the driving. At the same time, you are the driver, the supervisor overseeing it all, who can take the wheel the remaining 10 percent of the time when needed.…
Chapter 2- What It Is Like To Be A Neuron
Humanity’s greatest challenge is to understand how the brain works.1 Neuroscientists, aided by discoveries in neuroscience and artificial intelligence, are inching closer to this answer each day. While the brain’s full functionality remains a mystery, we have enough information to form a general concept. This concept helps us understand how the brain, as a living…
Chapter 3- What It Is Like To Be A Support Cell
Our neurons are highly interconnected computers that receive, process, and transmit electrochemical impulses. The output cables run here and there, connecting every neuron in some way to form an intricate network that supports the communication of 86 billion computers. Such an extensive, complex network needs help to function properly; that is where the other 85…
Chapter 4- Getting To Know Networks – Part 1
Our brain is similar to an internet service provider with 86 billion computers connected to a network. Each neuron processes information, receiving and sending signals to many others over a labyrinth of output cables connecting it all together. Every computer communicates over these cables, forming complex networks supporting all the signals they transmit. Our 85…
Chapter 4- Getting To Know Networks – Part 2
The human brain is a colony of neurons working collectively as a single network. It is similar to how a network for an internet service provider connects millions of computers. Our brain has 86 billion of them connected in its network. The difference with ours is that all of the computers work cooperatively as a…
Chapter 5- How Artificial Networks Work
Artificial intelligence has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the 1940s, with recent discoveries catapulting it into the mainstream.1 The goal of scientists and engineers behind it all has always been to build an intelligent machine equal to a human. That has been the driving force behind all the advancements in AI.…
