"\"People have wanted to look inside the human mind, the human brain, for thousands of years. Well, coming out of the research labs just now, for our generation, is the possibility to do that,\" says Christopher deCharms. In this TEDTalk, the neuroscientist and inventor demonstrates how rtfMRI displays brain activity in real time - and explains how by understanding cause-and-effect brain activation, patients can be taught to alter their brain responses to relieve health problems such as chronic pain. \"When they control their brain, they can control their pain,\" he says." . . . .
