Now, let's take all this information together and ask:
現在，綜合以上所有信息，我們要問一個問題：
How can we use it to transmit a memory that I have from my brain to your brains?
我們該如何利用它，把我大腦中的記憶傳送到你們的大腦中呢？
So we did the following experiment.
我們做了下列實驗。
We let people watch, for the first time in their life,
我們在受測者首次觀看
a TV episode from the BBC series "Sherlock," while we scanned their brains.
英國國家廣播公司的“神探夏洛克”電視節目時，掃描他們的腦部。
And then we asked them to go back to the scanner and tell the story to another person that never watched the movie.
然后我們讓他們回到掃描儀前把故事講給另一個從沒看過這部電影的人聽。
So let's be specific.
具體來說，
Think about this exact scene, when Sherlock is entering the cab in London driven by the murderer he is looking for.
想象一下這個場景：福爾摩斯坐進了倫敦的一輛出租車，而司機正是他尋找的兇手。
With me, as a viewer, there is a specific brain pattern in my brain when I watch it.
對我而言，做為一個觀眾，當我觀看時，腦中有種特定的圖像。
Now, the exact same pattern, I can reactivate in my brain again by telling the word: Sherlock, London, murderer.
現在，透過講述下列幾個詞語，我的腦中再度激發出同樣的圖像：福爾摩斯、倫敦、兇手。
And when I'm transmitting these words to your brains now, you have to reconstruct it in your mind.
當我把這些字匯傳至你的大腦時，你必須在你的大腦里重建圖像。
In fact, we see that pattern emerging now in your brains.
事實上，我們看到那些圖像正在你腦中涌現。
And we were really surprised to see that the pattern you have now in your brains
我們當時相當驚訝，在我描述的時候，
when I'm describing to you these scenes would be very similar
你的腦波跟我幾個月前
to the pattern I had when I watched this movie a few months ago in the scanner.
看那部片子時被掃描機掃到的腦波非常相似。
This starts to tell you about the mechanism by which we can tell stories and transmit information.
這正是我們說故事和傳遞信息時的機制。
Because, for example, now you're listening really hard and trying to understand what I'm saying.
因為，舉個例子來說，此刻你們聽得很辛苦，嘗試想要理解我所說的話，
And I know that it's not easy.
我知道那并不容易。
But I hope that at one point in the talk we clicked, and you got me.
但我希望在某個頓悟點，我們同步了，你理解我所說的話了。
