You may have realized that biestmilch is based on a thought concept of complexity, regulation and modulation. I am permanently searching for allies with this denkstil. Because as you all may understand having allies or combatants respectively makes life easier all along. Now I found a new chap
supporting our notion. It is the sensor for carbon dioxide in our brain. This sensor seems to be part of a circuit that regulates breathing and the emotions going along with it like fear and panic. We know that fear of suffocating is one of the strongest human behavioral motives. This sensor seems to trigger fear and panic, and thus determines the (safety) margin of how much lack of oxygen a person is able tolerate. The data we have currently available are referring back to mice experiments. So, there is still to prove whether it applies to humans too. If you ask me, it will, the structures in the brain may vary, but the principle as such – I am sure – remains the same.
If this is the case, can we train this circuit? (more…)
