Do you know what they do clinically? So what they do is what's called constraint therapy. This is the single best move. You take the right hand, which is working well, and you pin it down. You strap some of it so that they're forced to use their left hand. Necessity. Yeah, exactly. Necessity. That's the relevance. So now I want to get the sandwich to my mouth. I have to use the left arm.

I need to get my zipper down to go to the restroom. I have to use my left hand. These are the sorts of things that matter. This is what causes brain plasticity. Oh, yeah. Relevance. Oh.

Yes, that's exactly it.

Yes, that's exactly it.

Ah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know what it is in humans when we use this.

I think it wouldn't. It wouldn't directly be mediating the trying because I think what would happen is you would try it, but you wouldn't have the plasticity that says, hey, something useful happened here. So let's make changes to the motor cortex over here. You just wouldn't have that. And so the system would stop trying that.

It's all we ever have in there.

I have a suspicion that it's not, as Nietzsche said, that each one is coming with a personality or something. But my suspicion is that each one is reaching out to other spots, like visual cortex, like your limbic system, like your frontal cortex. When a network is dominant, it's sort of pulling information and sort of constructing a personality.
