My third TED Talk is A Look Inside The Brain Real Time By Christopher DeCharms. This TED Talk was really cool to me because I am really interested in learning more about the brain because I would like to become a surgeon when I grow up.
In this TED Talk, Christopher explained how you will be able to see inside your brain using an MRI. You will be able to mimic what you see. He said that when you move your arms, you can see yellow glowing spots in the corner of your brain to show you that you are moving your arms. I find this really interesting and actually fascinating that you can see what you are doing while you are lucid. You can look at the points per second and you can see if the pattern over and over and learn how to control it.
He said that this method should help patients with chronic pain, because you can see what hurts and find different ways to fix it using the brain. He talks about the three ways to affect the brain-- 1. A Therapists couch, 2. Pills and 3. A knife, but with this new and improved method, you can see your brain and this will help your chronic pain. This would help my dad with his back & neck problems.
When your control your brain, you control your pain. Christopher stated that there is a massive decrease in chronic pain patients after using this method the numbers are: There is a 44-64% decrease in chronic pain patients after they get their pain under control. I think this would be very beneficial to older people or people overweight.
This TED Talk has really inspired me to learn more about the brain and how it works. This also is really cool because one day we could possibly be able to live pain free lives. Which benefits many people.
