Daniel Wolpert: The real reason for brains

Very interesting TED Talk which shows the impressive power the brain has to control movement. I don’t necessarily agree with his idea that the brain’s main objective is movement but it is true that our conscience mind isn’t as powerful as the part of our brain that controls our movements.

We understand very little about movement, senses, emotions, intuition, dreams and all subconscience activities that go on within us. That’s why we’ve been able to make advances on AI regarding knowledge and rational decision making but we still suck at everything else.
