Xbox and Desi Girls


Do desi girls think that guys who play Xbox/PS2 videogames are immature and not attractive?

Any desi girl gamers here?

ZZ, the limbic system is known as the reptile brain, it controls basic animal responses like fight-or-flight. emotions are represented in several differnt areas of the brain. At any rate, the qualia, the so-called 'hard problem' of consciousness is still unsolved...

I think I'll have to cut and paste that VE here...

sahadat,

different parts of the brain are responsible for different functions - some control language, some control memory, and yes, some control emotion - the "limbic system" component of the brain is responsible for eliciting and generating emotions.

I hear ya, Pez - but it's the qualia, the 'experience' that is still undefined by philosophers of mind, and absolutely mind-boggling to the neuroscientists. We haven't even began to solve the philosophical issues so the scientific research dosn't quite know what it's doing yet. Like kids kicking an unknown machine and hoping it does something.

We know that all experiences are described in the brain by electrochemical configurations. To go back to a previous example - think of a rose. What does it make you feel? What memories and feelings do you associate with that image? Now, that image is represented in the brain by neural patterns in the visual cortex (and some other areas accessing memory, etc). What does this mean? Does this explain all there is to that image of the rose? Of course not. It is unable to describe what it's LIKE to see that rose. Unable to trace all the attendant emotions that rush through you thinking of that rose. Perhaps you smile at the memory of your boyfriend giving you that rose. Perhaps you cry at the memory of the rose on your grandmother's grave.

The neural description actually describes nothing. It's an explanation of how those images flicker onto the television set. It can say nothing about the nature of the film the TV is showing. And so it is with the neural models of love.

PezDispenser, read the MIT AI lab link I posted - its extremely interesting stuff and very cutting edge. And yes, the MIT researchers also propose a link between neurons and human emotions.

mysticlvr and Sahadat: may I refer you to a VE posted in the Psychology village about the Psych of Love.... The brain treats love as a cicuit in the brain that creates that euphoric feeling... anything associated with the stimulus (object of affection) creates the circuit stronger ie. the lover's interests, hobbies, fav food....

it's a very interesting take on the emotion of love on a neural level....

no they haven't !!! the vaccuming robot gets stuck when it approaches strange unidentified objects in the middle of the room.. and the ironing robot doesn't work either

labs, they have already done that !

as long as they can perfect the robots that vaccum and iron, i am all for AI..

a key point here is something called the "Turing test" - which basically states that if a human can be fooled into believing that the other person is also human (although it might be a robot), you have succeeded in creating the ultimate emotion engine.

mystic, we will have to wait and see about that. For now, I side with MIT researchers rather than descartes et al.
