How to find what your interests are?
An example can be taken from education. Educationalists advocate allowing parents to take their children to cast a wide net to find points of interest.
Some parents take their children around to learn various things in the hope of exploring their children's interests. It turns out that even if the child shows a strong interest in the piano, after taking the child to practice the piano, the child suddenly changes from liking it to hating it as he continues to practice.
Do the brain's interests change?
From a medical perspective, going back to the most basic anatomy, anatomy has long told you that nerves will remodel, but it is difficult for nerve cells to grow again after they die, so there are many sequelae after brain damage. This statement shows that it is impossible for the brain's points of interest to change in a short period of time.
The only reason that can explain the above phenomenon can only be: this interest is not that interest, and you have found the wrong interest.
Look at it this way, interest is so hard to find, and it will run away from you when you think you have found the result.
In fact, it is true to cast a wide net in education, and it is also true to observe the human body's emotional and other reactions to things to judge whether they are points of interest. The only fault is the level of the observer.
To discover a person's interests is really difficult for ordinary people's intelligence level. Consider the purpose of many parents of students pursuing good teachers.
Can good teachers really understand the in-depth principles of discovering students' interests, that is, medical principles? Obviously not. This is why a teacher who claims to be a great teacher cannot make all the students he teaches become 100% academic leaders in all walks of life.
It can only be said that good teachers have a thorough understanding of some phenomena and are partly lucky.
Not to mention teachers, doctors must have a thorough understanding of this medical principle, because if you understand the mystery, you will know that it is almost difficult to do.
The specific analysis is as follows. First, let’s clarify the definition of “interest” in medicine. As mentioned in the above experiment, it must be some kind of external stimulation, which can increase the activity of brain functions and thereby improve brain efficiency.
You can think of this external stimulus as the key to open sesame. Once you say it and do it, you can open the door to the human body's brain treasure house. In other words, a rare power source is connected to the brain, so that the brain instantly seems to be loaded with rocket power and runs at high speed.
What a successful observer has to do is how to observe the key.
In medicine, one will first explore the person's previous experience, just like investigating the "medical history" to find out the past success history of the "patient" and find clues to the key. Finally, verification is done to check whether it is the key.
Search again and again, sift again and again, and finally sift out a more accurate key.
The above is the process. When it comes to the specific steps, if you want to observe the key, you have to rely on the eyes and brain of the observer to observe the reaction of the subject's brain to external stimuli.
For neurosurgeons, they can observe the coordination of a person's hands and feet, observe a person's emotional response to things, and even observe a person's eyeball movements, etc., and finally make a comprehensive medical judgment based on all reaction symptoms.
The biggest difficulty here is the subtlety.
It is easy for doctors to see patients because the symptoms they exhibit are different from those of normal people.
To observe normal details from a normal person, what level of visual acuity is this?
Can instruments be used instead of the naked eye? Isn’t it said that fMRI scans can be used?
