Chapter 649: (1) The beginning of chaos (20) The brain doctor's conjecture

Views:

About an hour later, Dr. Kesi sent a message to Xu Mo, asking him to enter the conference room to communicate the diagnosis results. Xu Mo has been waiting at the door, and when he heard the doctor's call, he immediately turned and walked in.

The doctor's face was a little heavy, which gave Xu Mo an even worse premonition, so he asked, "Doctor, Mr. Dai...is the situation very bad?"

"How should I put it... This situation is a bit complicated." The doctor paused, seeming to organize his thoughts again, "We all know that the brain is the most complicated organizational structure known in the universe, and our brain is the nerve of the human body. The center, all physiological activities of the human body, are dominated and directed by the brain. When I checked the activity data of each part of Mr. Dai's brain, I found many strange phenomena.

For example, there are two contact areas in the brain where consciousness is active, one is the frontal lobe contact area and the other is the rear brain contact area, both of which can generate consciousness. Under normal conditions, the consciousness activities of the two contact areas can exist at the same time, and the consciousness of the frontal lobe contact area of the brain is dominant. The frontal lobe connection area of the brain is the place where various consciousnesses gather, and it is always active in the waking state. If the frontal lobe connection area of the brain is not active, a person must be in a sleep state. When the activity of the frontal lobe connection area of the brain is gradually suppressed, the person will gradually enter a sleep state, and if the frontal lobe connection area of the brain becomes active suddenly, the person will suddenly wake up. When the frontal lobe connection area of the brain is dormant, if the connection area in the back of the brain is active alone, it will be manifested as dreaming, which is also a form of conscious activity.

When we enter the virtual game, although the body is not active, the consciousness is active, and the frontal lobe contact area and the posterior contact area should be active, but... Mr. Dai is not like this state. "

"Then what is his state?"

"His brain's frontal lobe connection area is in a dormant state, and the back of the brain's connection area has weak signs of activity, and it should have fallen into a deep dormancy state."

Xu Mo frowned worriedly: "Could it be...has he really turned into a vegetable?"

"This is one of the possibilities, of course there are other possibilities. After listening to your description, combined with the characteristics of life simulation games that cannot die, I think the argument of becoming a vegetable lacks incentives. I have a bold guess myself... The doctor tapped his fingers and said.

"Please tell me, doctor." Xu Mo looked at him expectantly.

"Deep hypnosis."

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, the answer didn't surprise him, but the situation was really new, and he didn't know how to answer the question.

The doctor saw his doubts and began to explain from shallow to deep: "Actually, I'm afraid I have never encountered an example of being hypnotized in a game, but based on his brain activity data, I think this is a possibility. Sex, let me give you a brief introduction to the knowledge about brain hypnosis

Our human perception of the world comes from various organs all over the body. Information such as vision, hearing, and touch, after passing through sensory organs such as eyes, ears, and skin, is first transported to the primary sensory cortex in the brain, and then further transported to further higher cortical areas, where this information is integrated.

First, information travels through the optic nerve to the primary visual cortex. After that, the information is sent to the higher-level brain area, and finally, the information comes to the higher-level brain area, and further correlates and matches with the original experience in the brain. Similarly, the flow of information from low-level to high-level also exists in other sensory information such as sound and touch. The original information finally reaches a higher-level brain area, where it is understood and given meaning. and above" information flow.

But in our brains, there is another kind of information flow, which is the "top-down" flow, and even the amount of information it carries is 10 times that of the "bottom-up" flow. "Feedback". So what is so much feedback information used for? The answer lies in the sifting and interpretation of the "bottom-up" information we receive. So what we finally perceive is not just the original seeing and hearing information, but relies on our experience network to re-endow these information with meaning. In a word, the "top-down" information is the highest status and unambiguous emperor. It can give meaning to the perceived information, and if the feedback information is too strong, it can even overturn the original information from the bottom and give it meaning. new meaning.

Modern science has proved that in hypnotic suggestion, certain brain areas are activated or closed out of thin air, thereby changing the "top-down" information, which is equivalent to creating an additional overbearing "top-down" information, Thus suggesting that the body accepts the fact that it does not exist in reality. So according to Spiegel's statistics, about 80%-85% of children and the elderly are susceptible to hypnotic suggestion, which is much more than the proportion of adults, because children and the elderly have weaker self-awareness.

In fact, most of the time, the "bottom-up" information coincides with the "top-down" expected feedback, but hypnosis is an interesting phenomenon. This mismatched state makes the "top-down" information directly pass the "bottom-up" sensory information, thus changing our perception of the world.

It can be said that although people do not yet know how hypnosis changes the state of the brain, scientists can use some peculiar properties of hypnosis to study brain function under some abnormal conditions. Hypnosis has become a secret weapon in brain research, an area I've been working on. "

"So, because of hypnosis, Mr. Dai made the "top-down" information directly pass the "bottom-up" sensory information, and fell into a deep sleep? Then how long can he sleep? Forever?"

"It's hard to say that there are many intermediate stages between excitation and inhibition in the cerebral cortex. During wakefulness, strong stimuli cause strong responses, and weak stimuli cause weak responses. The amount of response is proportional to the intensity of the stimulus. Therefore It is the waking phase. During the transition to sleep, the strong or weak state causes the same response, which is the equal phase. When the cortex enters a deeper inhibition state, an abnormal phenomenon can be seen, the weak stimulus It causes a strong response, but the strong stimulus causes a weak response, or even no effect at all. This is the abnormal phase, such as false "scalding", pain disappearance, taste change, etc. Sometimes there will be a supernormal phase, that is, in The responses that cortical cells cannot make in the waking state are induced at this time, such as the activation of our special functions, blindfolded literacy, telepathy and so on.

When the degree of inhibition is extremely deep, it will enter the anesthesia phase, and it is difficult to cause a response to general stimuli, and it must be awakened by direct physical unconditioned strong stimuli. But in fact, the hypnotized person can be awakened by the hypnotist through verbal hints in any state... Does this sound familiar? People who are caught in the game and have a false identity, in my opinion, are the same as patients who are deeply hypnotized.

Well, back to your question just now, if Mr. Dai is really deeply hypnotized, any possibility is possible, of course, including never waking up. "
