And This Is You Brain On Love
Helen Fisher and her team have spent the last few years studying the brain mechanisms responsible for love by putting various groups of people in various states of love into an MRI machine.
Though not very heavy on the science, this little talk does a nice job of opening up a lot of questions about the nature and evolutionary history of love and other complimentary emotions.
The Future Of Regrowing Limbs
I’m often amazed at the technology I see presented during TED talks. None so much as this presentation by Alan Russell on the future of regenerative medicine. The whole part about intestinal material acting as a catalyst for natural cellular regrowth is just wild. We can regrow freakin’ fingertips!
Holy Frakin’ Cow! This is now, folks! Scientists and physicians are using this technology now!

Al Gore At TED

Pamelia Kurstin’s TED Performance
Could she be any cuter?
All crushing aside… that’s really impressive control over a very difficult instrument. I’ve attempted to play a theremin a couple of times and can tell you she makes it look easier than it is by many orders of magnitude. I couldn’t imagine playing music that emotional and keeping that still at the same time. There’s no way I could do it. I move too much just playing single hand melodies.
