I'm interested in how the brain can override the reflex arc, for example
pre-meditating the fact you're going to pick up a hot plate that you would
normally jerk away from. I've done a Google search with some results, but
nothing goes in to detail.
I am also interested in whether there is a connection between this and the
ability to simultaneously fire more muscle fibres than normal in panic
situations. Perhaps this explains how martial artists summon what they call
'Chi energy'?
Any feedback appreciated
Ben
