Neuroplasticity01:01

Neuroplasticity

717
Neuroplasticity reflects the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and evolve, responding dynamically to learning, experiences, or injury by reorganizing its neural circuitry. This reorganization involves creating new neural connections and refining old ones through a series of biological processes that contribute to the brain's lifelong development and adaptability.

Brain Imaging01:14

Brain Imaging

299
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Organization of the Brain01:30

Organization of the Brain

1.1K
The brain is an integral component of the nervous system and serves as the center for processing sensory inputs, making decisions, and directing bodily actions. This complex organ is organized into three primary sections: the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain, each responsible for a range of vital functions.
Hindbrain
The hindbrain, located at the base of the brain, plays a vital role in regulating automatic processes that sustain life. It includes the medulla oblongata, which is essential for...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Information technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) create interactive simulated sensory worlds.
  • Natural language, especially direct verbal suggestion (DVS), influences the meaning and significance of experiences.
  • The interplay between technology and language shapes our perception of reality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review how socially rewarding language constructs and influences reality.
  • To introduce the term 'suggested reality' (SR) for the role of DVS in shaping reality.
  • To propose 'edited reality' for altered subjective experiences via technology and linguistic techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on the influence of language and information technology on subjective experience.
  • Development of a cognitive model illustrating the role of central executive structures in processing narrative and DVS.
  • Analysis of VR, AR, and SR applications in clinical and everyday settings.

Main Results:

  • Language is symbolic, automatic, and flexible, capable of augmenting sensations and suggesting perceptions.
  • Direct verbal suggestion (DVS) plays a crucial role in constructing, maintaining, and manipulating shared reality.
  • Information technologies and linguistic techniques can lead to altered subjective experiences, termed 'edited reality'.

Conclusions:

  • Language, particularly DVS, is central to how the brain constructs subjective awareness and personal narratives.
  • Understanding VR, AR, and SR is key to comprehending how our reality is formed and can be modified.
  • Further research into these areas can enhance applications in clinical settings and daily life.
