Zhao Heng and Liu Meng took the guy and followed Gao Qilan to a consultation room.

"Sit down."

Gao Qilan smiled slightly, poured a few glasses of water, and said to Zhao Heng and Liu Meng.

"Doctor Zhao, I have admired your name for a long time, and your awakening of skier Sun Xinxin can be said to be the best example of brain recovery."

At the beginning, Gao Qilan expressed his appreciation for Zhao Heng.

As a psychiatric and psychiatric expert, Gao Qilan still has a certain amount of research on brain science, and in the past, patients in deep coma basically used various external stimuli to wake up patients.

But when he came to Zhao Heng, he did the opposite, and directly used technical means to repair the brain by cultivating neural stem cells, which directly woke up Sun Xinxin.

This is a great inspiration for many people who study deep coma and brain science.

In other words, there is the possibility of using technical means to interfere with the level of consciousness.

"Sun Xinxin's situation is very special, because of trauma, her brain has a certain degree of damage, so it is clinically valuable to use the method of cultivating neural stem cells to repair brain tissue to promote wake-up, but for coma at the level of pure consciousness, the effect of this method is very limited."

Zhao Heng explained.

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, as soon as Gao Qilan said this, Zhao Heng knew that she was interested in brain science.

In particular, the exploration of the realm of consciousness is the most obsessed with all neurological and psychological experts.

What exactly is consciousness?

This is both a scientific and a philosophical question.

Some foreign scholars have done an experiment on the temporary storage of consciousness after a short period of death, to investigate whether the person in cardiac arrest was conscious at that time, and found that many people can be very prepared to describe what happened around them when they are on the verge of death, so scholars believe that consciousness is temporary after death.

This leads to the question, if consciousness cannot be brought about by death, then is consciousness brought by birth?

Previous studies by scholars have shown that babies are not born with consciousness, and when babies are born 5 months later, they gradually increase the speed of visual responses.

Why is it so hard to study consciousness?

The main reason is to define when people are conscious, that is, whether there are unconscious boundary markers, which have not yet been discovered.

To complicate matters further, some scientists have discovered the phenomenon of "blindness", when a person has damage to the visual cortex, although people cannot consciously see, they can still [guess] the location of visual stimuli, and even capture what is thrown at them.

This suggests that sometimes unconscious brain processes are likely to be perceived as conscious actions, such as instincts.

"That being said, your experiments with this patient show that we can indeed exert influence and change on the physical level, leading to changes in consciousness, which is epoch-making."

Gao Qilan said to Zhao Heng with great appreciation, in the eyes of the people in the branch, Director Gao is completely a workaholic, in the branch, Gao Qilan has a set of staff housing, so Gao Qilan rarely leaves the hospital.

In addition to eating, sleeping and necessary life behaviors, Gao Qilan spent all his time conducting clinical research.

This is also the reason why Gao Qilan's level is recognized in the field of psychiatry and psychology.

As for why such a powerful person would come to a branch to be the director, there is another story to tell.

"If we look at the emergence of consciousness, the repair effect of neural stem cells on brain tissue is indeed very valuable for research."

Zhao Heng nodded and said, as soon as Gao Qilan opened his mouth, he was talking about academic and research things, and there was no nonsense or politeness, which was still very much in line with Zhao Heng's appetite.

Originally, Zhao Heng didn't like these politeness and nonsense very much.

And after listening to what Gao Qilan said, Zhao Heng knew that this Gao Qilan was in academic research to support the emergence of consciousness.

The so-called emergence-of-consciousness theory is a theory used to explain the generation of consciousness.

Some scientists have speculated that our nerve cells are controlled by certain electrochemical signals and interact with each other in a certain combination of rules to produce wisdom and consciousness.

From the perspective of brain science, when a large number of individuals combine and interact to produce group wisdom and consciousness, this process is called "emergence".

Maybe there is nothing special about nerve cells, but the communication between nerve cells produces consciousness, that is, neurons, synapses and other living substances are not the decisive components for the production of consciousness and intelligence, but the most important thing is the operations they perform.

】

It doesn't matter what the entity of the brain is, what matters is what the brain does and the rules that it run.

According to this hypothesis, as long as the rules for the generation of consciousness and intelligence are found, it is possible to detach from living beings and build a simulated brain.

At present, the human brain is divided into proteins, fats and other material structures, and the core component is a material structure based on carbon.

If we can find the combination rules and operating rules of consciousness, we can completely jump out of the constraints of carbon and establish a computing framework based on silicon to realize the simulation of the brain, so that it can remember, think, and self-consciousness like the real brain.

The most important thing is that the human brain can connect with the analog brain to share information and upload and download.

"I'll talk about academic issues later, this is the patient."

Gao Qilan nodded, but when he saw the young man in a hospital gown who looked very nervous, Gao Qilan remembered that Zhao Heng had brought a patient to the consultation.

"What tests have you done before?"

Gao Qilan asked Zhao Heng.

"Except for the sharp fluctuations in neuroelectrophysiological activity, no organic problems were found."

Zhao Heng said.

"I'll have a consultation next, you all go out, I'll record it."

Gao Qilan looked at Zhao Heng and Liu Meng and said.

The psychiatrist's visit is very private, after all, the topics that people are most reluctant to talk about.

"Zhao.

Dr. Zhao, can you stay with me inside? ”

Hearing Gao Qilan's words, and then thinking of the strange and frightened eyes of other mentally ill patients looking at Gao Qilan since he entered the hospital, the young man couldn't help but say to Zhao Heng with some pleading.

Seeing the young man like this, Gao Qilan also said to Zhao Heng: "Originally, no one else was allowed to be present except for the patient during my consultation, but you are an exception, you can stay." ”

Zhao Heng hadn't spoken yet, this Gao Qilan said it first, which made Zhao Heng feel that this Gao Qilan was really too strong.

Next, Liu Meng, who originally wanted to see Gao Qilan's consultation the most, went out, and only Zhao Heng accompanied the young man inside.

Soon, the guy sat on the chair, Gao Qilan started a consultation with the guy, and Zhao Heng listened and watched.

Half an hour after the consultation began, sure enough, beside Gao Qilan, a long-lost light cluster fell, which was almost the size of the light cluster that Zhao Heng picked up on the director-level doctor of the East Hospital.

As soon as Zhao Heng's mind moved, the light cluster turned into a streamer of light and drilled into Zhao Heng's mind.

【Ding! Acquire psychological counseling skills (including seven skills of clarification, mirroring, judgment extraction, analysis, silence, facial quality, and concretization)

After fusing the perfect-level psychological counseling skills that fell from Gao Qilan's body, Zhao Heng immediately had a very clear understanding of the psychological consultation that Gao Qilan was currently undergoing.

This psychological counseling technique is very different from the surgical skills that Zhao Heng picked up in the past.

Other clinical skills can be exercised and improved the day after tomorrow, but in psychological counseling, a strong heart is needed congenitally, that is, the psychological quality that is as stable as Mount Tai, otherwise, it will be affected before you ask others anything.

An hour later, the counseling session was over.

Seeing that the young man's eyes were distracted, as if he had been robbed of his soul by something, Zhao Heng couldn't help but sigh, this Gao Qilan's ability to see through people's hearts was too powerful, talking to her for an hour and a half, the young man was like being picked up by someone on the eighteenth floor, and the whole person was like standing naked in the ice and snow.

The consultation was over, Zhao Heng opened the door, and Liu Meng came in from outside, however, Liu Meng, who came in, looked at Zhao Heng with resentful eyes, originally she came over and wanted to see Teacher Gao, whom she admired the most, but this opportunity was obtained by Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng let the driver who was waiting outside come in, and helped the distracted guy out.

When the driver's uncle was helping the guy, looking at the guy's appearance, it was as if he had been robbed of his soul, coupled with the eyes of those mentally ill patients looking at this director Gao just now, thinking of this, the driver's uncle couldn't help but shudder.

"Mr. Gao, how is the patient?"

As soon as Liu Meng came in, he couldn't wait to ask.

"The situation of this patient is very clear, it is an extreme orientation inversion, causing persistent arousal syndrome, although it is said that such cases have not been found in clinical practice before, but theoretically speaking, it is also possible."

Gao Qilan helped the gold wire glasses and spoke.

"Teacher Gao, how should I treat it?"

Liu Meng asked again.

In this patient's case, ordinary psychotherapy is completely ineffective, which is hidden deep in his subconscious, so deep hypnosis must be carried out to reverse his cognition, in short, it is to release this extremely repressed idea of inverted orientation from his subconscious, so that the surface consciousness is aware of it, and then as long as the patient can face this thought, then the treatment is considered successful. In the future, just do some grooming and conditioning. ”

Gao Qilan said methodically.

That is, Zhao Heng found Gao Qilan, otherwise, this kind of extremely deep hypnosis that is almost about changing cognition, not to mention China, just say that only single-digit psychologists in the world can complete it.

"Hypnosis?"

Hearing the word hypnosis, Liu Meng's eyes widened, when she went to school to take Gao Qilan's course in psychology, she would worship Gao Qilan so much, the most important thing is that Gao Qilan has a miraculous hypnotic technique.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Gao Qilan's hypnotic technique of this degree is close to witchcraft or magic.

"Yes, the patient's problem has penetrated down to the level of subconscious cognition, and ordinary counseling or other conventional psychotherapy is useless for this situation."

Gao Qilan said.

Hearing the word hypnosis, Zhao Heng was also very interested.

Although hypnotism has only been widely used in modern times, it has been used in ancient times.

The ancient medical classic "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" recorded the "Zhu Youshu", that is, the technique of treating diseases through incantations, which is widely regarded as a form of hypnosis.

There is also an example of practical application, that is, the legendary ancient martial arts [Fixing Technique], the practitioner stares at the other party with both eyes, recites words in his mouth, and the finger stroke can make the opponent stand upright in a sluggish place, and accept the instructions of the caster, which is very similar to the current state after hypnotic suggestion.

In the folk, there used to be a game of "Please Fan God".

In the hot summer, invite the fan god to cool off and have fun. The method is to make the subject stare intently at an old fan and listen to the spell caster's [incantation], and after a short time, the subject will feel drowsy, sleepy, dazed, and cool, and will also experience the fairyland described by the instructor, such as seeing the fairy dancing, hearing the sound of music, etc.

By the time the caster gives a sober command, the subject will come to his senses and be in a good mood by recalling the wonders of the fairyland ride.

"In the case of hypnosis, what is the hypnotic sensitivity of this patient? Is it suitable for deep hypnosis? ”

Zhao Heng thought for a while and asked.

Hypnotic sensibility, that is, to test whether a person can accept deep hypnosis, some people's self-will is very strong, such people, generally unable to carry out hypnosis, let alone deep hypnosis.

"With the results of the creative imagination scale that was just performed on this patient, at least above 35, this is very suitable for hypnosis."

Gao Qilan nodded appreciatively and said.

Listening to Zhao Heng say this, I know that he also has some in-depth understanding of hypnosis, although it is not as good as her, but it is also very good when compared among clinicians.

The Creative Imagination Scale is a relatively modern hypnotic susceptibility scale, which simply means that it tests the degree to which the subject is suitable for hypnosis.

From 0-40, the higher the score, the more suitable for hypnosis.

35 points is already a very high degree of adaptability, and it can already be hypnotized at a very deep level.

Deep hypnosis, the state of the hypnotized person, in a state of numbness and rigidity of the whole body, inhibition of physical functions, high concentration, extremely narrowed range of consciousness, almost absolutely obey any instructions of the hypnotist, but the consciousness is not very awake, immersed in a very subjective personal world, hallucinations and age and personality changes, faithfully implement the hints of hypnosis.

In this hypnotic state, it is even possible to perform the so-called "past life recollection".

"However, if you want to perform deep hypnosis, in addition to getting the patient and family to record the whole process during hypnosis, you also need a psychological adjustment period of one to two weeks."

"If the patient is basically healthy, he or she can go here."

Gao Qilan said slowly.

Obviously, she was very interested in this guy's situation.
