listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.

隐藏原文=

So John, what can I do for you?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Well, it\'s about the stuff you talked about yesterday, about the research on the brain.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Okay. Well, one thing was that experiment where two groups of people were learning to play a finger exercise on the piano.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

If I understood you correctly,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

one group actually practiced the exercise on the piano, and the other group, they didn\'t move their hands. They just kind of imagined, visualized

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

how their fingers would move on the piano.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

That\'s right. And each group did that every day for five days,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

two hours a day.Okay, so I did understand that part.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

I guess what I wasn\'t clear on was the results of the experiment.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

I mean, I don\'t think it was like, you know

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

that at the end, both groups could play the exercise equally well. That\'s right. No,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

what the researchers were interested in

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

were changes in the brain that took place as a result of the practice,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

okay And what they found was that a certain part of the brain, the part that controls your fingers when you\'re playing the piano,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

that part had expanded as a result of the practice, and it expanded in both groups,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

the group that actually practiced on the piano

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

and the group that just imagined it

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

this mental practice they were doing

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

learning the exercise, was changing the physical structure of a portion of the brain,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

rewiring it, expanding it.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

It\'s amazing that just thinking could do that could affect the brain like that.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

I wonder if that\'s true for sports too

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

well, the idea that you can improve, say, your performance in a sport by

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

visualizing it has been around for quite a while, but

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

I don\'t know that anyone suspected that you were actually altering

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

the physical structure of your brain when you did it.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

I wish that men I could skip basketball practice and just lie around and think about practicing tonight.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Good luck with your coach on that one,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

it\'ll still require lots of real practice, physical practice,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

but maybe with the mental training, it\'ll require less practice,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

or maybe you\'d learn to do it better than with the physical practice alone, okay?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And I had just one other question.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

You also made some point about meditation?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Yes, I was talking about a researcher who studied brain activity in some people who\'d been practicing meditation for many years,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

and he found out that they, too had, apparently to these many years of meditation practice changed their brains,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

patterns connections within their brains.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

For instance, they gradually enabled themselves to consciously activate

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

the left prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that\'s active when we\'re feeling happy.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So they kind of train themselves to be happy, yes

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

which is interesting, because usually we think we have to have something, you know, or like,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

achieve something to feel happy, but they don\'t need that

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

good point.
