Rodrigo Braga, PhD
Representing Data
"How the brain is organized."
Its important to learn about our conscious and how our brain runs and Rodrigo Braga, is a neuroscientest and he works with the brain.
A diagram representing cognitive neuroscience
Dr Braga is a professor, and he teaches students how to read MRI machines and look inside of brains. The machines allow others to see how our brains function when doing different things during the day.
Using Evidence to Support a Claim
Brain imaging allows people to see how the neural activity works and thats why its so important.
Rodrigo is able to use a fMRI machine to take a picture and map out the structure of the brain, and brain imaging is important since it opens up a window for scientest, according to his claim.
By using the fMRI machine, they can conclude a ton of ideas since they have evidence to support them now.
This machine matters since it is able to prove the theories that were unprovable if the machine didnt exist including the way the brain lights up, or how the brain functions during different parts of the day.
Working with Variables
The are a ton of "variables" that make the brain function
Rodrigo studies these variables and learns about the patterns that occur within the brain. Using the machines, he is able to get a ton of data from these variables and share it with others.
Variables that have a cause and effect on the brain.
In order to learn about the brain, it is important to study the variables that have an impact on the way the brain functions.
Creating Models to Understand and Communicate Ideas
It is very important to have precise models of the brain like the model constructed with many different parts and a 3D aspect.
These models matter since they can help educate people about their own brains and also teach students. They are very important to help represent and communicate to others the ideas you may have through these models.
Rodrigo created a model to show us how the brain was organized.
It is imprtant to create models since they help prove a claim better than just having words and not really helping us understand what os being conveyed.
Using Mathematical Thinking to Describe the Natural World
Cognitive neurology studies how the brain works and how it is able to use mathematical thinking and problem solving.
A ton of stuff requires math to complete and we are given the power to do mathematical thinking and problem solving because of our cognitive abilities.
There is a ton of mathematics that go into solving problems that are related to neurology and actually performing studies
Math is important to actually carry out these studies since it takes a ton of measurements and technology to create these machines.
