This is quite interesting can our nerve damage be repaired?

With your thoughts ado
Dr. Norman Doidge ,”The Brain That Changes Itself” full show This is a
fascinating interview
how r u supposed to train this neuroplasticity? with what? who ?
The analogy at the end was an unexpected treat, now I can’t help but talk
to people on the chair lift about brain plasticity over my winter break 🙂
“Life is like a powder day…”
Overcoming the social and cultural gridlock that symies us is paramount
“The answer is part of a larger riddle that
I call the “plastic paradox” and that I consider one of the most important
lessons of this book. The plastic paradox is that the same neuroplastic
properties that allow us to change our brains and produce more flexible behaviors
can also allow us to produce more rigid ones. All people start out with
plastic
potential. Some of us develop into increasingly flexible children and stay that way
through our adult lives. For others of us, the spontaneity, creativity, and
unpredictability of childhood gives way to a routinized
existence that repeats the same behavior and turns us
into rigid caricatures of ourselves. Anything that involves
unvaried repetition—our careers, cultural activities, skills, and neuroses—can lead to rigidity. Indeed, it is because
we have a neuroplastic brain that we can develop these rigid
behaviors in the first place. As Pascual-Leone’s metaphor illustrates,
neuroplasticity is like pliable snow on a hill. When we go down the hill on
a sled, we can be flexible because we have the option
of taking different paths through the soft snow each time. But should we choose the samepath
a second or third time, tracks will start to develop, and soon we will tend
to get stuck in
a rut—our route will now be quite rigid, as neural circuits, once established, tend to
become self-sustaining.” — Norman Doidge
The quote is from the book, The Brain That Changes Itself. Our society is
hampered by millions of illiberal inflexible religious zealots, many in
high places. Where did all these religious zealots come from? Something in
our system is producing them at an astonishing rate. The newly discovered
phenomenon of the plastic paradox looks like a promising theory that wants
more exploration. What are the societal and cultural features that exhibit
routinized training and behavior? Norman Doidge never explores this issue
in his book, but can we not reasonably suspect that the deliberate
religious indoctrination of children might be a prime suspect?
Hello! I am having some nerve problem either in the ear or close by and the
ENTs have no idea why! We have done some MRI and CT scan of the ear and
nose and both results are negative Yet, I am still feeling unable to
breathe properly through my nose and can’t concentrate. The MRI did show
that I have some fluid behind the ear drum. Please advice.
Dr. Norman Doidge on Neural Plasticity.

No drugs? No show. The drug companies cannot, will not allow this sort of
carry on. I mean to say.
If someone was born blind, the areas which are normally used for vision
would be used for hearing. Read “How to create a mind” by Ray Kurzweil, he
talks about this in the book.

ok well in the scientific community there are lots of things that seem to
be like a waste of time. crick and watson were the laughing stock of their
campus and were told that finding the structure of dna was pure nonsense
with their circumstances. penicillin was discovered over a piece of “crap”
mole. you have no evidence to suggest that this is a waste of time. if
you’ve done some research you’d know that a lot of credible research has
been successful in this recent year.
Exceptionally good. Get his book and go to positscience as fast you can
You can learn to be less impulsive and learn to not be too emotional by
learning to meditate or do mindfullness training. This way your brain
becomes more calm and thus you can learn to chose your behaviour and
reactions in different situations. This really helps, and is something that
gives you back some power over yourself. You train your brain this way.
As for having desires and not acting on them, clearly you aren’t
considering priests, hermits, dirty old men and so on. Since when does not
acting on a desire make it go away? I’ve never seen that happen 🙂
I suggest supplementing with inositol.
My whole issue was with the approach, this looking for a “cure” for pedos.
Seems to me EXACTLY like looking for a “cure” for gay people. You’re
welcome to try, but it just seems like 100% wasted effort to me 🙂
Fantastic video. To grow new neural networks and make the brain focus on a
specific result use hypnosis regularly. It is amazing what can be done to
end addiction, repair stroke, stop phantom pain, etc. Hypnotherapists are
doing this all over the world with fast results. Hypnosis is the fastest
and most direct method to make the changes that Dr. Doidge is talking
about.
youre doing great, just get those question marks under control and you’ll
pass as normal;)
Thank you for putting this up a great insight into the plasticity of our
brains 🙂 Bye bye The English Sisters
This works with overcoming trauma and conditioning also, I’ve seen this
time and time again with myself as well as others. Thank you for this
brilliant upload and all of these encouraging stories in the comments. Best
wishes to you all, particularly those who are rebuilding and re-wiring
their brain. Love 🙂
i can’t really quantify that, but i’d say i’ve done my fair share of
research. from my memory it only took me about a couple seconds to write
the comment then click post.
nice patek philippe hes wearing!
