Scientists believed for years that the mind fixed, does not change and textured.
00:00:04
But dramatically change our understanding that we are now seeing the brain and
00:00:08
Plastic and constantly changing. But what if I told you that simply thinking can
00:00:12
Not only affects the way the mind but its physical form and structure
00:00:16
It turns out this is exactly what is happening. Neurological terms,
00:00:20
Imagine something, do require the same motor and sensory programs
00:00:24
In mind. For example, if you were to close your eyes and imagine
00:00:28
The character "B" primary visual cortex light up as you do when
00:00:32
Look to the character on the screen. Stop for a moment and imagine yourself writing
00:00:35
Your signature with your dominant hand.
00:00:37
And often the amount of time spent in just imagine doing it
00:00:41
Similar to the time it takes you to write it. Try the same thing
00:00:45
With your non-dominant hand and in fact it will take longer to write
00:00:48
And the imagination.
00:00:49
And what relevance is this?
00:00:50
Well, because the act of imagination and in fact complementary and share the same
00:00:54
Neural pathways, one practice actually affected in the other.
00:00:58
Fascinating study took two groups and had them practice the piano for
00:01:02
Two hours a day.
00:01:03
However, one group was allowed to use only mental practice, they can not touch the
00:01:06
Piano but they were seated in front of him and imagine practice. The result snap,
00:01:11
The same place exactly physical changes have occurred in the motor cortex of both groups.
00:01:15
Three days after their accuracy was in one play.
00:01:19
Five days after the actual practice group began to progress faster,
00:01:23
But fantasizing group, when Otecht have the opportunity to practice physically, they were able
00:01:27
To catch up with the level of their skills quickly. Perhaps the most impressive experience
00:01:31
Fantasy is used in an attempt to strengthen the muscles. The two groups have carried out
00:01:35
The same muscle exercises for four weeks
00:01:38
Although one group simply did it mentally, those who actually Tmrnoa
00:01:41
Their strength increased thirty percent, while those who imagine
00:01:45
Doing so increased their muscle strength and twenty-two percent.
00:01:48
This is because the neurons responsible for movement instructions were still
00:01:52
Used and piety, resulting in increased muscle strength when
00:01:56
Already contracted. So while your thoughts to an mysterious force
00:01:59
Or magic, the mental practice is an effective way to prepare for the skill
00:02:03
Center. Every idea in fact change the structure and function of the brain through
00:02:08
Influence in nerve cells at the microscopic level.
00:02:10
Although as much as you want to sit there and become the next Mozart, you will not
00:02:14
Happen without a lot of hard physical work, but a little imagination never hurt.
