Has anyone here heard of amygdala clicking? Apparently, they are two almond shaped groups of neurons in your brain. "Clicking them" supposedly causes enhanced feelings of happiness and is supposed to make your brain work a lot better. I haven't actually tried this yet, but I found out about it and thought it was cool so I had to share it. If you try it, be sure to post what happens to you. Here are some links:

the amygdala controls primal emotions and the hypothalamus (so ultimately it controls sex, hunger and thirst drives)

I dont see the link between stimulating the amygdala and making your brain work better. if anything this would make you react in a really strange, unpredictable and extreme way

edit: made this post before reading the article. after reading the article.. its still bullshit but for different reasons

No.

The OP may not have included a very detailed post explaining his "discovery," but this is not the type of post we're looking for to help get discussion moving. Please don't post if you don't have more to add to the discussion

protip: "THIS IS GAY THE AMYGDALA IS GAY YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT THAT WEBSITE IS BULLSHIT HERE ARE SOME LINKS PROVING THAT YOU ARE WRONG: link1 link1" is an acceptable post

The limbic system is not entirely controlled by the conscious brain. Additionally, from what little I read on wiki (I'm rusty on my Neuroanatomy), the amygdala has an important effect in triggering the sympathetic trunk... Trying to mess with the brain isn't a good idea, EVER.

Especially because really little is actually known about the brain. I have to say, It's the only part of our anatomy where I have actually seen a table in a text describing parts and function and I have encountered ??? listed as function. Once again, this was on a medical text.

One time I tried to click my amygdala and I ended up in the intensive care unit and had to have half of my brain removed. Do not do attempt to do this.

Amygdala Clicking would be a good name for the next Venetian Snares album

And I say that because even if it did do something I bet it would give you a seizure

I actually did this when I used to try doing astral projections, I heard it was supposed to develop clairvoyance and even thought it didn't have the effects I expected it's a rather good meditation technique in my opinion, you people should try it

I thought the clicking was going to be something like the bloop or the slow down but instead it's just dumb

Omcifer, you're all about this HOW THE BRAIN WORKS stuff huh? You made the right/left brain thread in Q&A.

Are you studying psychology or something along those lines?

No, I'm not. It's kind of odd, really. Recently I have taken an interest in human intelligence and the brain. Maybe a psychologist could be a sure career for me, who knows?

this is old news, it works thats all that matters. For me its calming and "untiring" if that makes sense. Im usually tired, even personality wise. but when i mentally do this i get pretty aware of my surroundings.

Right. Because one guy who goes to GW knows more than a community of intellectuals (plus a few morons here and there).

I'll add some Amygdala Clicking practice alongside my daily Psi exercises.

No offence, but I wouldn't consider Wikipedia a community of intellectuals. All the knowledge you get on wikipedia, in the end, barely scratches any surface, and is far too shallow for the waters any intellectuals would thread. Intellectuals are the ones that give lectures, discuss matters on a high levels, write in-depth books about certain topics. Although Wikipedia is a great source of knowledge, it's not a community of intellectuals. It's a community of people that take the works of intellectuals, and writes their interpretations of what they think is the most important and easiest understandable parts... that sentence sure came out wrong but whatever, too busy to look up dictionaries and get my wording right.

My point is, if you read any in-depth university books and read the wikipedia article on what you're reading, you'll notice that one single line on wikipedia alone could be an 800-page book. Wikipedia is popular science no matter how you put it, and it's probably the best place for that. But a community of intellectuals? Come on... It merely scratches the surface, not something a community of intellectuals would bother doing.

Sorry for the off-topic rant

I also heard that smashing your face off your computer desk until your eyes bleed is a great way to stimulate the pain receptors in your face.
