I am not sure how a brain can shut down completely. I did try to google it and got THIS link. What was he watching that can shut down a brain cold? It should still be active. It might be more or less active depending on the interest level but completely down?
The Triangle skill has also been suggestively linked to a particular region of the human brain. In a study conducted by Andrew Whiten and colleagues at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, a person's brain is scanned using fMRI. When the human subject and an animated character on a TV screen are both looking at the same moving object, a small area in the human's brain—located an inch behind the middle of forehead—is highly active. But when the person and cartoon character are looking in separate directions, this brain region is much less active. In a separate study by other researchers, this same brain region is more active when a person is watching two cartoon characters collaborating on a joint project compared to when the characters are working independently. |
OK, thanks for revealing the bigger the smile, sharper the knife source.
concerning the inventor of the PET scan's experiments, it has been a while since I viewed the show. I'll have to dig around and see if I can find it since I recorded it and watch it again. If I remember correctly, it showed a PET scan when someone was watching television. not just any video, but specifically, TV.
I was talking with a friend of mine last week who said that when his girl friend is watching television, he can take his hand and place it in front of the television and she just sits there like a zombie. she doesn't even notice that he is blocking her view. and she is a college graduate, no less. I'm convinced the television literally places people in some kind of a hypnotic state.
TV may be the world's best mind control device. this may explain why preachers and politicians use it to their full advantage.
