Norman Doidge on the brain and neuroplasticity

[rlevanony1]

Like freewill...

[bluefairyuk]

This is a psychiatrist and the author of the magnificent book 'the brain that changes itself' and it is about the science of neuroplasticity, it is not about religion! For goodness sake USE YOUR BRAIN!

[Bestmanme08]

Check out a google-located webpage called "Neuroplasticity, homosexuality, and all other behaviors and manifestations" and see that being gay is created by neuroplasticity!

@Bestmanme08 no doubt homophobia is also created by neuroplasticity.

[kevvie100]

@Bestmanme08 I just checked that out on google and surprise surprise, the page was "real liberal christian church". No bias there then eh?

@Bestmanme08 What a pile of bs - I read that article, and it does not pass per review from college student. Just look at it "an homosexual brain might look more like a female"! Yes, a cranium might be quit confusing for sexing (saying if a skeletum remain is one of a dude or a lady), for instance masculinized female cranium are common... But this have so little to do with gender and sexual identity and more to do with health problem, age and living condition.

How is itt possible we missed it!! We didnt, we just lost it!! People of the east and also budhist always knew. Ask a guru from india he will say the same. Our brain, thoghts, feelings and capabilitys are not fixed. We can learn, change and adapt, more than we think.

[humaner]

Buddhism new about this 2500 years ago.

[BushidoDemonic]

@humaner Hahaha, that's what I told my teacher, too.

[writeausername]

Talk to Scientologists, Not the Church ones though, but the Independant ones

[tajicentre]

Amazing potentials from this new understanding of ourselves! Thank God there is a science based educator who can bring this info to all of us.

Marshall McLuhan was talking about this years ago from the point of view of mediums (technologies, extentions of self) being the message(altering sense ratios).

Humanity needs to stop talking (both internal and externally) to awaken to its other self, the unconscious right brain awareness.

Doidge is bring it back into discussion... good job

[roxhard123]

he's very smart

Being a victim of TBI, I know too much about this first hand, after 25 doctors, I have a good understanding of the mess that the medical field is with handling brain injury. Of course positive thinking is a good path to go down, duh, did you just figure this out?

The medical field simply labels you as depressive after they can't figure out any concrete solutions to the physical problems, then they pump SSRI's into you. I wonder how many at this gathering are on Paxil?  Poor souls.

[TheOmegaeyes]

This is true, I was once at a seminar supported by the mental health industry that was explaining a bit about neuroplasticity but the people who were speaking were still in support of SSRIs. On one hand they were giving some hope with the new discoveries of np but on the other they still woulden't tell the truth about perscription drugs and how they can further complicate symtoms.

Vilayanur S. Ramachandran has logically depunked some of Freud´s suggesions through simple understaning of human anatomy during a Lecture on LED in 2007.

Yet, thanks for posting the video

[logant44]

Which suggestions? Be specific or don't bother posting.
