The maxim, "Know thyself" has been around since the ancient Greeks.

譯者: Chueh-chen Wang 審譯者: Stephanie Zhou

Some attribute this golden world knowledge to Plato, others to Pythagoras.

程度副詞

But the truth is it doesn't really matter which sage said it first,

because it's still sage advice, even today.

有人認為這句箴言出自於柏拉圖

It's pithy almost to the point of being meaningless,

但事實上，哪一位先知最早說這句話根本不重要

but it rings familiar and true, doesn't it?

因為這句話到現在都還是個睿智的建言

I understand this timeless dictum as a statement about the problems,

or more exactly, the confusions, of consciousness.

I've always been fascinated with knowing the self.

但它又是那麼讓人熟悉又真實，不是嗎？

This fascination led me to submerge myself in art,

study neuroscience, and later, to become a psychotherapist.

Today I combine all my passions as the CEO of InteraXon,

My goal, quite simply, is to help people become more in tune with themselves.

我一直以來都被「認識自己」所強烈吸引

I take it from this little dictum, "Know thyself."

這樣的迷戀引導我去沉浸在藝術中

this imperative is kind of the defining characteristic of our species, isn't it?

而且後來成為一位精神治療醫師

that separates Homo sapiens from earlier instances of our mankind.

（InteraXon是）一家發展由思想所操控的電腦的公司

tending to our iPhones and iPods to really stop and get to know ourselves.

Under the deluge of minute-to-minute text conversations,

e-mails, relentless exchange of media channels

and passwords and apps and reminders and Tweets and tags,

we lose sight of what all this fuss is supposed to be about in the first place:

這個祈使句正是我們人類物種的關鍵特質

by all of the ways we can reflect ourselves out into the world.

And we can barely find the time to reflect deeply back in on our own selves.

我的意思是，它代表著「自我意識」

We've cluttered ourselves up with all this.

And we feel like we have to get far, far away to a secluded retreat,

So we go far away to the top of a mountain,

assuming that perching ourselves on a piece

is bound to give us the respite we need to sort the clutter, the chaotic everyday,

電子郵件、媒體頻道不停地播送

But on that mountain where we gain that beautiful peace of mind,

以及密碼、小程式以及提醒訊息以及推特訊息以及標籤

我們忽略了這些忙碌與混亂的根源

大部分的時間裡，我們都被那些向全世界展現自我的管道

This is the term that armies use when they've lost a battle.

Is this how we feel about the pressures of our world,

And the problem with escaping your day-to-day life

退隱到無人之處，才能擺脫這一切

is that you have to come home, eventually.

然後當我們去一個遙遠的地方時

we're almost like a tourist visiting ourselves over there.

我們以為只要佇立在一個孤獨之處

And eventually, that vacation's got to come to an end.

can we find ways to know ourselves without the escape?

Can we redefine our relationship with the technologized world

但是，在那讓我們找回心靈平靜

in order to have the heightened sense of self-awareness that we seek?

Can we live here and now in our wired web

and still follow those ancient instructions, "Know thyself?"

這個字眼是當軍隊打敗仗時使用

that we're working with technology to this end,

它的意思是「我們必須離開這裡」

to get familiar with our inner self like never before --

這就是我們對這個世界上壓力的感覺嗎？

humanizing technology and furthering that age-old quest of ours

It's called thought-controlled computing.

況且，從你每日生活中逃離的問題是

that I'm wearing a tiny electrode on my forehead.

that's reading the electrical activity of my brain

These brainwaves are being analyzed and we can see them as a graph.

也能找到「認識自我」的方法？

It's the direct signal being recorded from my head, rendered in real time.

The green and red bars show that same signal displayed by frequency,

我們跟這個科技化世界之間的關係

You're actually looking inside my head as I speak.

我們能不能住在這個互連的網絡裡

These graphs are compelling, they're undulating,

but from a human's perspective, they're actually not very useful.

thinking about how to make this data meaningful to the people who use it.

我今天在這裡要分享一個新方法

我們正嘗試以科技來實現建構這個方法

what if I could use this data to find out how relaxed I am at any moment?

and put it into an organic shape up on the screen?

has become an indicator of what's going on in my head.

這項技術稱之為「由思想操控的電腦運算」

the more the energy's going to fall through it.

I may also be interested in knowing how focused I am,

so I can put my level of attention into the circuit board on the other side.

the more the circuit board is going to surge with energy.

Ordinarily, I would have no way of knowing how focused or relaxed I was

這些腦波就正在被分析，而我們可以透過一個圖表來看

As we know, our feelings about how we're feeling

那是我從我頭上直接記錄下來的訊號

We've all had stress creep up on us without even noticing it

until we lost it on someone who didn't deserve it,

綠色和紅色的線呈現那個相同訊號的頻率
