Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 131 Amygdala and Hippocampus

It was a wonderful feeling.Lu Ming had never experienced this feeling before.

Every thought, every thought, every idea in his mind, including every information received by touch, sight, taste, hearing, etc., Lu Ming can clearly realize that it comes from himself, not outside world.

After all, external stimuli are actually perceived by the consciousness by activating the corresponding receptors and nerves of the human body itself.From this perspective, every subtle activity in the mind comes from oneself, not from the outside world.

The famous "brain in a vat" conjecture was proposed based on this.

But now, Lu Ming could clearly feel that the feeling he felt at this moment did not come from himself.

It comes from outside.

A certain feeling from the outside world suddenly appeared in my mind through some mysterious and unknown way.

There was the case of Section Chief Tan before. When this feeling appeared, Lu Ming was not so shocked that he lost his concentration.At this moment, he can still barely control his mind, and can devote his energy to feel that "feeling" carefully.

As Section Chief Tan said, he felt anger, hatred, betrayal, deception, and disgust, as well as... impatience and rejection.

This is a wonderful process that cannot be described in words.Lu Ming really felt these emotions, but he couldn't tell how he felt them.

The feeling only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared.It seems that Loushen cut off the communication on his own initiative.Also, it should no longer respond to requests from people trying to get in touch.

After calming down, Lu Ming opened his eyes.

He saw the eager faces of two brain science experts.

"Captain Lu, what did you feel? How did you feel it? You..."

Lu Ming waved his hand, temporarily stopped their inquiries, and then looked at Zhang Dingshan: "I feel it too. The content is similar to Section Chief Tan. It feels very strange, and I have no way to describe it specifically. Hmm... Loushen seems to be interested in We were impatient with our attempts to get in touch. I got the feeling that it seemed to have decided not to respond to us again."

Zhang Dingshan nodded slightly.

The situation has progressed to the present, if the so-called telepathy of Section Chief Tan, even with the endorsement of two brain scientists, still has some doubts and cannot be completely trusted, then at this moment, with Lu Ming's personal experience, three pieces of evidence At the same time, then this matter is worthy of admissibility.

"It seems that our attempt has failed. Loushen is unwilling to contact us, let alone start negotiations."

"really."

He Wei felt a little regretful in her heart, but she also knew that facing Lu Ming's whimsical suggestion at the beginning, after verification, she could actually gain something, not only confirming the existence of Loushen as an intelligent body, but also confirming the existence of Loushen as an intelligent body. The ability of "telepathy" is enough.

To solve the problem through negotiation, or to temporarily suppress the problem of Loushen, the members of the second action team did not have much hope at the beginning.At this moment, it finally failed, and there is nothing to regret.

Lu Ming looked at the two brain science experts: "Now, the existence of telepathy is basically confirmed, right?"

Professor Sui nodded: "Even if it's not fully confirmed, it's [-]% sure."

"Okay. So, theoretically..."

"Lu Ming."

Zhang Dingshan called Lu Ming's name, stopped his inquiry, and said, "Let's leave here first."

Lu Ming was startled, and then realized that his group was still in danger.This is not the place to analyze and discuss issues in detail.

Professor Sui and the middle-aged female brain scientist immediately walked to Zhang Dingshan, pleading with him.

"Sergeant Zhang, let us both try it? Just try it! Sergeant Zhang, you don't understand the significance of this matter, it is very likely to bring great benefits to our human brain science research, which is very important !Might save tens of thousands of lives!"

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Unfortunately, no. And...we also need to seal up the devices brought by the two of you. The data inside cannot be taken away. Moreover, the two of you need to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Everything that happened here today, All must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked. Otherwise, the two will face a military court trial."

"what?"

Professor Sui was taken aback, and his expression immediately turned pale.The middle-aged female professor yelled in disbelief: "How could you do this? Do you know that you are committing a crime! You are committing a crime against the entire human world, against the entire human medicine!"

Zhang Dingshan looked at Gao Chunhua.Gao Chunhua led several security guards and immediately stepped forward, holding the arms of the two professors from left to right.

"Leave here first."

The two professors still refused to calm down. After struggling hard, they yelled at Zhang Dingshan in protest.Zhang Dingshan was silent all the way.

Finally, they came to the temporary command post. After the two professors calmed down a little, they were brought back into the meeting room.

"I will report to my superiors about the suspected occurrence of 'telepathy' phenomenon here in Binhai Building. Whether to carry out follow-up research on this matter, when and when to conduct research depends on the decision of the superiors. I can assure you What’s more, once the superior starts the research, I will also recommend the two. With the qualifications of the two and today’s experience, the possibility of being selected for the research team is very high.”

The two professors, who still had expressions of anger on their faces, instantly changed their expressions under Zhang Dingshan's words.

In any case, it's much better than getting nothing.

"If there is no problem, sign this non-disclosure agreement."

The two of them no longer hesitated, and immediately picked up a pen to sign their names and put their fingerprints on it.

From this moment on, the behavior of the two will be bound by this agreement.If you do something that violates the agreement and leaks secrets, the punishment will come immediately.

"Okay, let's start the discussion now. I hope the two of you can use your wisdom to cooperate with us."

"no problem."

Two big professors, a man and a woman, expressed their views again and again.

Lu Ming opened his mouth and asked himself a question that he hadn't asked before.

"I want to know, from a theoretical point of view, what kind of possibility exists to achieve 'telepathy'? That is, what method is most likely to be used by the existence in the Binhai Building to achieve telepathy? "

This is very important.

Having the ability to realize telepathy is one of the few understandings of Loushen so far.However, by going back through this clue, it is possible to spy on more secrets of Loushen.

The two professors fell into deep thought.After a long time, the male professor said: "From the perspective of the structure and operation mechanism of the brain, and from our existing understanding of the brain, in order to realize telepathy, it is necessary to stimulate the nerves of the brain through a certain mechanism to make it corresponding synapses."

The female professor said: "The essence of memory is the synapses of nerve cells. You should know this."

Nerve cells are constantly forming new synapses, and old synapses are constantly disappearing.When animals are exposed to external stimuli, there is a sudden increase in the number of synapse formation and disappearance.Research has shown that some synapses exist only for a few hours, while others exist for a long time and may become fixed to form new neural circuits.

And fixed, new neural circuits mean long-term or permanent memory.

Lu Ming nodded, indicating that he knew.

The male professor continued: "Frankly speaking, our current research on the specific formation mechanism of memory is not in-depth. There are too many mysteries in the brain, and we still only understand a small part. There is more about how to stimulate memory from the outside. For the dendrites and axons of nerve cells, we have no idea for the time being. But if we analyze it from the perspective of physics, there should be only a few options that can directly affect the nerve cells in the brain, right? Electromagnetic waves? Radiation? Some field? Neutrinos? Or something dark matter?"

The female professor added: "What you're feeling is emotion, not substantive information. This means that what is being stimulated is probably the amygdala and hippocampus. These two structures are responsible for processing emotions."

He Wei subconsciously said, "Amygdala?"

The mechanism of poisoning human beings by poisonous toxins is also realized through the amygdala.

Lu Ming immediately asked: "Could it be some kind of chemical substance that realizes telepathy? Like, like the pheromone secreted by ants? Uh, that is, Loushen secreted some kind of chemical substance, this chemical substance Enter the human body, stimulate the amygdala and hippocampus, and make people feel a certain emotion, so as to achieve telepathy?"

The male professor nodded slowly while thinking: "This possibility also exists. It's just that you and Section Chief Tan both said that you clearly feel that this kind of 'information' comes from the outside, not from your own body. If someone If a chemical stimulates the amygdala and hippocampus, it shouldn't be like this. But who knows? We don't know too much. Maybe this chemical is like this."

Zhang Dingshan looked at He Wei, Lu Ming and Lu Qingliang, and found that all three of them were fine, then he stood up and extended his hand to the two professors: "Okay, let's do this first, trouble you two . Later, there will be security guards to take you back."

At this moment, after tossing all night, it is almost dawn.The two got up reluctantly, and after shaking hands with Zhang Dingshan and the others, they left here step by step.

Before leaving, Qian Zhuo Wan asked Zhang Dingshan to notify them as soon as he made any progress.

After dismissing the two of them, Zhang Dingshan returned to the meeting room again.

"Negotiation communication strategy failed. Now, another vote on whether to move forward to the next step."

This time, Lu Ming raised his hand without hesitation.He Wei and Lu Qingliang also raised their hands in agreement.

"Okay, then report to Director Li."
