The fast route to mental superpowers

Do you have a way of coping with strong feelings or emotions ? Did you know that there are techniques being developed to target specific stimuli in the brain that control these reactions ? Skeptical ? We are all familiar with the that 'practice makes perfect' and we all have applied this to various physical activities at some point in our lives . This could be something as simple as riding a bike , becoming at a sport , or applying a technique to do a job . A few of us may even have tried techniques to take control over stress or anger through meditation . Some people have a 'happy place' to which they retreat to cheer themselves up when life gets too tough . Those who have tried such strategies know that they work , but not always .

It's a fact though that to succeed with any change or improvement in the body , some visual feedback is necessary . Now imagine that as you experienced sensations , feelings , or emotions inside your brain , you could see what is happening . Suddenly , the effectiveness of the mental techniques could be observed . That's the idea behind a recently developed technique known as 'real - time fMRI' . This opens up the possibility of receiving feedback about brain activity and the areas by mental strategies in the same way that a bodybuilder on specific muscles .

Research only started in this area a little over ten years ago . A study tried to teach people how to control pain . Eight people were subjected to a painful hot sensation while they lay in a scanner . The participants were taught various strategies to control the mental picture of the cause of the pain . , after just a single 13 minute session participants were able to reduce their pain by over 50% .

Ever since , there have been many other studies using real - time fMRI , all using feedback to give information to those involved in the trials . Very promising results have been achieved in areas as diverse as fighting and decreasing symptoms in young people . In 2016 , a study found that elderly adults using this technique improved their . It has yet to be seen what the long - lasting effects might be and research is by the high cost of fMRI equipment . At first , treatment may be limited to severe problems , but over time fMRI scanners will become cheaper and smaller .

The potential of such real - time fMRI training is truly amazing . If a few ten minute sessions can produce statistically significant results , what might be achieved after hours of practice ? Those of us who marvel at the types of abilities of monks , for example , who can completely block out pain through mental techniques , may eventually be able to them . There is at present no way of knowing for certain , but in the future something akin to 'mental superpowers' may be within our grasp and in a fraction of the time that it currently takes .
