00:06
Here are two images of a house.
0
6657
2420
Ovo su dve slike kuće.
00:09
There’s one obvious difference,
1
9077
2270
Postoji jedna očigledna razlika,
00:11
but to this patient, P.S.,
2
11347
2460
ali ovoj pacijentkinji, P.S,
00:13
they looked completely identical.
3
13807
2800
izgledaju potpuno identično.
00:16
P.S. had suffered a stroke that damaged the right side of her brain,
4
16607
3760
P.S. je doživela šlog koji joj je oštetio desnu stranu mozga,
00:20
leaving her unaware of everything on her left side.
5
20367
3650
pri čemu je postala nesvesna bilo čega sa svoje leve strane.
00:24
But though she could discern no difference between the houses,
6
24017
3540
Iako nije mogla da uoči razliku između kuća,
00:27
when researchers asked her which she would prefer to live in,
7
27557
3390
kada su je istraživači pitali u kojoj bi radije živela,
00:30
she chose the house that wasn’t burning—
8
30947
2840
odabrala je kuću koja nije gorela,
00:33
not once, but again and again.
9
33787
3110
i to ne jednom, već svaki put iznova.
00:36
P.S.’s brain was still processing information
10
36897
3420
Mozak P.S. je i dalje obrađivao informacije
00:40
from her whole field of vision.
11
40317
2120
iz celog njenog vidnog polja.
00:42
She could see both images
12
42437
1660
Mogla je da vidi obe slike
00:44
and tell the difference between them,
13
44097
1980
i prepozna razliku među njima,
00:46
she just didn’t know it.
14
46077
1760
samo što to nije znala.
00:47
If someone threw a ball at her left side,
15
47837
2710
Kada bi neko bacio loptu na nju sa njene leve strane,
00:50
she might duck.
16
50547
980
možda bi se sagla.
00:51
But she wouldn’t have any awareness of the ball,
17
51527
3250
Ali uopšte ne bi bila svesna lopte,
00:54
or any idea why she ducked.
18
54777
2680
niti bi uopšte znala zašto se sagla.
00:57
P.S.’s condition,
19
57457
1420
Stanje P.S,
00:58
known as hemispatial neglect,
20
58877
2270
poznato kao hemispacijalno zanemarivanje,
01:01
reveals an important distinction between the brain’s processing of information
21
61147
4840
otkriva važnu razliku između obrade informacija u mozgu
01:05
and our experience of that processing.
22
65987
3177
i našeg doživljaja te obrade.
01:09
That experience is what we call consciousness.
23
69164
3870
Taj doživljaj je ono što nazivamo svest.
01:13
We are conscious of both the external world and our internal selves—
24
73034
5010
Ujedno smo svesni spoljašnjeg sveta i svog unutrašnjeg bića -
01:18
we are aware of an image
25
78044
1771
svesni smo slike
01:19
in much the same way we are aware of ourselves looking at an image,
26
79815
3870
gotovo isto kao što smo svesni sami sebe dok gledamo sliku,
01:23
or our inner thoughts and emotions.
27
83685
2770
ili svojih unutrašnjih misli i osećanja.
01:26
But where does consciousness come from?
28
86455
2510
Ali odakle proističe svest?
01:28
Scientists, theologians, and philosophers
29
88965
2850
Naučnici, teolozi i filozofi
01:31
have been trying to get to the bottom of this question for centuries—
30
91815
3810
pokušavali su vekovima da nađu odgovor na ovo pitanje,
01:35
without reaching any consensus.
31
95625
2600
ali nisu se mogli usaglasiti.
01:38
One recent theory is that
32
98225
1710
Jedna novija teorija
01:39
consciousness is the brain’s imperfect picture of its own activity.
33
99935
4930
je da je svest nesavršena slika mozga o sopstvenim aktivnostima.
01:44
To understand this theory,
34
104865
1470
Da bismo razumeli ovo teoriju,
01:46
it helps to have a clear idea
35
106335
1630
korisno je da imamo jasnu predstavu
01:47
of one important way the brain processes information from our senses.
36
107965
4830
o jednom važnom načinu na koji mozak obrađuje informacije iz naših čula.
01:52
Based on sensory input,
37
112795
1609
Na osnovu ulaznih čulnih informacija,
01:54
it builds models,
38
114404
1360
on pravi modele
01:55
which are continuously updating, simplified descriptions
39
115764
3400
koji se neprekidno nadograđuju,
pojednostavljene opise predmeta i dešavanja u svetu.
01:59
of objects and events in the world.
40
119164
2940
02:02
Everything we know is based on these models.
41
122104
3350
Sve što znamo je zasnovano na ovim modelima.
02:05
They never capture every detail of the things they describe,
42
125454
3590
Oni nikada ne zabeleže svaki detalj stvari koje opisuju,
02:09
just enough for the brain to determine appropriate responses.
43
129044
4053
već tek toliko da bi mozak odredio odgovarajuće reakcije.
02:13
For instance, one model built deep into the visual system
44
133397
3480
Na primer, jedan model koji je duboko ugrađen u vizuelni sistem
02:16
codes white light as brightness without color.
45
136877
3260
kodira belu svetlost kao osvetljenje bez boje.
02:20
In reality,
46
140137
1060
U stvarnosti,
02:21
white light includes wavelengths
47
141197
1790
bela svetlost obuhvata talasne dužine
02:22
that correspond to all the different colors we can see.
48
142987
3350
koji odgovaraju svim različitim bojama koje možemo videti.
02:26
Our perception of white light is wrong and oversimplified,
49
146337
3690
Naše opažanje bele svetlosti je pogrešno i previše pojednostavljeno,
02:30
but good enough for us to function.
50
150027
2460
ali dovoljno dobro da bismo funkcionisali.
02:32
Likewise, the brain’s model of the physical body
51
152487
2640
Isto tako, model fizičkog tela u mozgu
02:35
keeps track of the configuration of our limbs,
52
155127
2670
vodi evidenciju o konfiguraciji naših udova,
02:37
but not of individual cells or even muscles,
53
157797
3190
ali ne i pojedinačnih ćelija, pa čak ni mišića,
02:40
because that level of information isn’t needed to plan movement.
54
160987
3980
zato što taj nivo informacija nije neophodan za planiranje kretanja.
02:44
If it didn’t have the model keeping track of the body’s size, shape,
55
164967
3740
Kad ne bismo imali model koji nadgleda veličinu i oblik tela
02:48
and how it is moving at any moment,
56
168707
1970
i kako se telo kreće u svakom momentu,
02:50
we would quickly injure ourselves.
57
170677
2410
brzo bismo se povredili.
02:53
The brain also needs models of itself.
58
173087
2710
Mozgu su takođe potrebni modeli samog sebe.
02:55
For example,
59
175797
870
Na primer,
02:56
the brain has the ability to pay attention to specific objects and events.
60
176667
4520
mozak ima sposobnost da obrati pažnju na određene objekte i događaje.
03:01
It also controls that focus,
61
181187
2171
On takođe i kontroliše taj fokus,
03:03
shifting it from one thing to another,
62
183358
1910
premeštajući ga sa jedne na drugu stvar,
03:05
internal and external,
63
185268
1490
unutra i spolja,
03:06
according to our needs.
64
186758
1610
u skladu sa našim potrebama.
03:08
Without the ability to direct our focus,
65
188368
2210
Bez sposobnosti da upravljamo fokusom,
03:10
we wouldn’t be able to assess threats, finish a meal, or function at all.
66
190578
4740
ne bismo mogli da procenjujemo pretnje,
završimo obrok, niti da uopšte funkcionišemo.
03:15
To control focus effectively,
67
195318
2179
Da bi efikasno kontrolisao fokus,
03:17
the brain has to construct a model of its own attention.
68
197497
3410
mozak mora da izgradi model sopstvene pažnje.
03:20
With 86 billion neurons constantly interacting with each other,
69
200907
3960
Sa 86 milijardi neurona koji stalno međusobno komuniciraju,
03:24
there’s no way the brain’s model of its own information processing
70
204867
3790
nema šanse da moždani model sopstvene obrade informacija
03:28
can be perfectly self-descriptive.
71
208657
2460
savršeno opisuje sebe.
03:31
But like the model of the body,
72
211117
1670
Ali kao i u slučaju modela tela,
03:32
or our conception of white light,
73
212787
2110
ili naše predstave o beloj svetlosti,
03:34
it doesn’t have to be.
74
214897
1630
ni ne mora da bude savršen.
03:36
Our certainty that we have a metaphysical, subjective experience
75
216527
3810
Naša sigurnost da imamo metafizičko, subjektivno iskustvo
03:40
may come from one of the brain’s models,
76
220337
2310
možda proističe iz jednog od modela mozga,
03:42
a cut-corner description of what it means to process information
77
222647
3730
kratkog opisa toga šta znači obrađivati informacije
03:46
in a focused and deep manner.
78
226377
2820
na fokusiran i dubinski način.
03:49
Scientists have already begun trying to figure out
79
229197
2670
Naučnici su već počeli sa nastojanjima da razumeju
03:51
how the brain creates that self model.
80
231867
2920
kako mozak stvara taj model o sebi.
03:54
MRI studies are a promising avenue for pinpointing the networks involved.
81
234787
4730
Studije magnetne rezonance obećavaju
kao put za određivanje koje su mreže uključene.
03:59
These studies compare patterns of neural activation
82
239517
2980
Ove studije upoređuju obrasce neuronske aktivacije
04:02
when someone is and isn’t conscious of a sensory stimulus, like an image.
83
242497
5010
kada neko jeste i kada nije svestan senzornog stimulusa kao što je slika.
04:07
The results show that the areas needed for visual processing
84
247507
3440
Rezultati pokazuju da su oblasti potrebne za vizuelnu obradu
04:10
are activated whether or not the participant is aware of the image,
85
250947
3969
aktivirane bilo da je ispitanik svestan slike ili ne,
04:14
but a whole additional network lights up
86
254916
2761
ali čitava druga mreža zasvetli
04:17
only when they are conscious of seeing the image.
87
257677
3710
samo kada su svesni da vide sliku.
04:21
Patients with hemispatial neglect, like P.S.,
88
261387
2850
Pacijeti sa hemispacijalnim zanemarivanjem kao što je P.S.
04:24
typically have damage to one particular part of this network.
89
264237
4230
obično imaju oštećenje jednog određenog dela te mreže.
04:28
More extensive damage to the network can sometimes lead to a vegetative state,
90
268467
4322
Veće oštećenje mreže ponekad može dovesti do vegetativnog stanja,
04:32
with no sign of consciousness.
91
272789
2930
bez znakova svesnosti.
04:35
Evidence like this brings us closer to understanding
92
275719
2780
Ovakvi dokazi nas približavaju razumevanju
04:38
how consciousness is built into the brain,
93
278499
2750
kako je svest ugrađena u mozak,
04:41
but there’s still much more to learn.
94
281249
1900
ali ima još toliko toga što treba saznati.
04:43
For instance,
95
283149
860
Na primer,
04:44
the way neurons in the networks related to consciousness
96
284009
2850
način na koji neuroni u mrežama koje su u vezi sa svesnošću
04:46
compute specific pieces of information
97
286859
2540
uklapaju određene delove informacija
04:49
is outside the scope of our current technology.
98
289399
2970
je van dometa naše sadašnje tehnologije.
04:52
As we approach questions of consciousness with science,
99
292369
3080
Kako pristupamo pitanjima o svesti uz pomoć nauke,
04:55
we’ll open new lines of inquiry into human identity.
100
295449
3530
otvorićemo nova preispitivanja ljudskog identiteta.
