currently reading this, does anyone know if there's any literature or classified research that studies the real time neurochemical effects of torture/extreme trauma? it's interesting to read about the post effects but I'd love to read about that happens in your mind chemically RIGHT when something awful is happening. I know this kind of research is ethically questionable and in general challenging to accomplish but I have to imagine someone, somewhere has hooked a person up to an MRI machine and made them extremely uncomfortable.

Careful you don't cut yourself on all those edges OP
Bumo, I find this interesting also

it's conceptually fascinating. I'd also love to see an MRI reading of like an extremely high LSD trip. I think that's ethically sound under volunteer assumption and it would produce very similar reactions (being trapped in a machine on a lot of psychedelics would make you freak the FUCK out)
Interested
What about the book lead you to feel this way?

OMG I totes agree! it would be like cool if we could scan peoples brains when theyre high on weed haha just gotta find a way to do it legally lmao 420 blaze fuck the police! i cant wait till i get my degree in psychology from my community college ill be handing out free drugs and ill even perform euthanasia on people in scanners to try to prove conciousness is in the brain! btw im a grill :3

Fuck off
Your post is a load of garbage.

There's a BBC documentary where a journalist is injected with the active chemicals in "magic" mushrooms. Then goes into an MRI. Just trying to recall the name, I'll see if I can find it.

But i totes wanna talk about the super cool book on torture :( y u gotta be #rude? lets talk about how cool and interesting it is! maybre after we can talk about faster than light travel anfd quantum conciousness ;) teehee
>>7656517
> to try to prove conciousness is in the brain!
This is the only part of your satire that doesn't really fit. It should be reversed.

I suppose so. I just needed some popscience meme to shit on OP
Especially since there are many simple ways to google medical conditions which emulate aspects of torture.
Since it's not difficult to google those things, unless one is a pleb, I must conclude OP is a pleb.
Thus i shit on him

More or less.
OP, google trigeminal neuralgia, type 2. A number of studies have been done on how it affects the brain both in a chronic sense, and an acute one.
>>7656564
>trigeminal neuralgia, type 2
Yup
Plus anxiety disorders and real time scans
Plus brain scans of torture PTSD patients and treatment with SSRIs
pretty close without inflicting torture
nice to find another anon reasonably well versed in neuro

The only thing it doesn't really indicate is how the psyche itself responds to a defined threat (with the ambiguity that brings), anticipation, and a lack of control. Actual torture has the fear and powerlessness aspects and the mind probably responds in a very different way.
Anxiety is indeed hell and can feel like you have no control over life, but it's a hell that comes from inside yourself. There are probably some major differences between that and the effect of someone doing something to you with the intent to harm.
But yeah, as far as medical research it's probably as close as OP will get without breaking into the CIA's secret installations and taking their documents. Or unburning all that mkultra stuff.
