The mind within the brain -- how we make decisions | David Redish | TEDxUMN
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Are we really free to choose? In this talk, David Redish explores the decision-making processes within the brain and tries to understand how, sometimes, those decisions go wrong.
Dr. David Redish is a Distinguished McKnight Professor of neuroscience at the University of Minnesota. He was trained in computational, theoretical, and experimental neuroscience and has contributed to our understanding of decision-making and cognition. Dr. Redish received a dual-degree BA in the writing seminars (poetry, plays) and computer science from The Johns Hopkins University, and his PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University. He did postdoctoral work in neuroscience at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Dr. Redish's research seeks to understand how our different learning, memory, and decision-making systems interact to produce behavior. Dr. Redish has published dozens of articles in scientific journals, as well as two books, most recently The Mind within the Brain: How we make decisions and how those decisions go wrong.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION PROMOTIONAL FILM W.P.A. GREAT DEPRESSION 42214
WORK PAYS AMERICA is a U.S. Government produced profile of the Works Project America or W.P.A. (later known as the Works Progress Administration) is one of the best documents of this Depression era program.
In the opening sequence, workmen are shown as the commentator explains why the W.P.A. came into existence and something of its plan of work. The first activities presented are those of road construction. The use of local raw materials is suggested in a short scene of quarry operations. Views of graveling operations are shown, and the commentator refers to roads that are being built at centers of attraction for tourists.
The work of the W.P.A. in improving city water-supply systems is indicated by scenes of reservoir construction at Atlantic City. The commentator explains that there exists a large group of projects to provide facilities for public gatherings, and there is a short scene of construction work on a community stadium. General scenes show improvements being made at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and construction work on bridges and sewers. The commentator says that there is need for better airport facilities, and the film shows WPA work in building and improving airports. There are scenes of airport construction at Newark, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Scenes of buildings being torn down are accompanied by explanations concerning slum clearance work.
The next part of the film deals with white-collar jobs. Work in the traffic survey is suggested as men are shown making traffic counts. Work to decrease automobile accidents is indicated. Sewing projects are explained by the commentator as women are shown cutting and sewing garments. Activities in dress designing and textile weaving are shown. As women are pictured working in a kitchen, the commentator says that school lunches are prepared for undernourished children of needy families. A traveling library is shown as the commentator describes the extent of this kind of work. Braille maps and books are prepared for the blind. Victims of trachoma, a dread eye disease, are taken to a clinic for treatment. In a therapeutic pool for infantile paralysis victims, an attendant aids a child to exercise his crippled muscles. Children are shown eating, playing, and sleeping at a WPA nursery. Adult education activities are shown in a class where foreign-born men and women are learning to read and write English. Vocational training is offered in a millinery class, a tailoring class, and a household arts class. As the commentator explains that the Works Progress Administration cooperates with the National Youth Administration in providing work for young people.
The third segment of the film presents the work of the theater and art projects. A WPA orchestra is playing a concert. A Negro choir sings. Work in painting is indicated as an artist is shown at work. The murals on the mess hall at West Point and a stained-glass window at the same institution indicate another phase of the work. Fine work done for museums is depicted by scenes of work on the reconstruction of a Persian ceiling and the mounting of fossils and animal skeletons. The Federal Theatre Project is represented by short scenes from Pinafore, It Can't Happen Here, and the all-Negro production of Macbeth.
The film then focuses on the work of the in times of disaster. As flood devastated areas are shown, the commentator explains the activities of the WPA in such emergencies. Women and children are rescued from rising waters. Food distribution and hospital work are shown. Men carry sandbags and other materials to be used to raise the levees above the crest of the flood waters. Harry Hopkins inspects levee work. Men are shown clearing up the debris left by the flood. Dams are constructed to correct drought conditions. Scenes of a forest fire and of WPA workers fighting fire are shown.
Finally the film shows work in constructing, improving, and maintaining recreational facilities, parks, and places of historic importance. Scenes at a zoo show children watching animals, and playground scenes show children playing on swings, slides, etc. Views of a swimming pool in which boys and girls are swimming and diving are accompanied by the explanation that WPA labor has been used in constructing pools and bathhouses. At a toy lending library a child selects a toy. Work in repairing and maintaining historic places is illustrated by scenes of the stockade at old Fort Niagara and of the reconstructed village of New Salem, Illinois.

Next Generation Medicine: The Invisible Wounds of War
The increasing rate of suicide among military veterans, and high-school, collegiate and professional athletes is distressing and an all-too-common topic in today’s news. Over the past decade, researchers have been focusing on the links between mental health, PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI) — defined as a disruption in the normal function of the brain caused by an external force — and what they are learning may surprise you.
This lecture shares groundbreaking research from the University of Washington on the impact of concussion and TBI on mental health. Delivering the latest information on this topic is Dr. Christine Mac Donald, an expert in advanced MRI methods to record brain activity, and the study of concussion and traumatic brain injury. Her current research efforts include evaluating concussion in the U.S. military, severe brain injury in adult civilians, brain injury in children, and the impact of brain injury on existing mental health conditions.
About Christine Mac Donald, Ph.D.:
Dr. Christine Mac Donald, Associate Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery, the James and Gaye Pigott Endowed Chair at the UW School of Medicine, and Research Director of the Sports Institute at UW Medicine, is an expert in advanced MRI methods and the application of these imaging methods to concussion and traumatic brain injury. For the past decade she has lead large-scale, multi-center, international clinical research studies in the United States, Italy, Germany and Afghanistan. Her work has given further insight into changes in the brain following injury.
