Looking inside the Brain


Neuroscientist and inventor Christopher deCharms demos an amazing new way to use fMRI to show brain activity while it is happening -- emotion, body movement, pain. (In other words, you can literally see how you feel.) The applications for real-time fMRIs start with chronic pain control and range into the realm of science fiction, but this technology is very real.

Another guy way ahead of himself. FMRI is expensive, its not innocous as demonstrated by recent reports of mood alterations after MRI and there are current treatmants eg EEG mediated Biofeedback and particularly Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation which give comparable effects in chronic pain in much cheaper and easier to use formats..

Dear dr Shock this "Ted talks" was very interesting for me. As you get older you get more problems especialy with feelings. Hope this will soon be available in Holland, your mother Dinkie.

Hey Dinky,i was suffering from Chronic fatigue syndrome from past few months.One of the good resource Chronic Fatigue Gone helped me a lot in overcoming this problem.
Do this problem have to do any thing with neurological disorder?
