Fantastic content. Thank you. Also, the "magic bracelet" trick is well known - there's a geometric trick outside of the temporary neurological effect (potentiation) following the isometric hold. Initial downward pressure of the arms is applied directly downward, further away from the subject's center of mass to create instability. After the external magical object is introduced, the "practitioner" applies downward force again, except the second time around does so imperceptibly slightly toward the feet - the stable center of mass of the subject, triangulating, and giving the illusion of strength - all credit to the magic bracelet!

Is this how the people at the mall sell you the "negative ion" bracelets. Tell you to balance and push you, tell you to balance with the bracelet and youre MAGICALLY better at it?
What do you think about P-DTR which 'resets' painreceptors and such and effects are everlasting, without training the brain, in my understanding at least
Hi Andreo, Thanks for the great video. You mentioned that you wouldn't expect someone to get stronger after lifting a weight once, because there was no physiological adaptation which is obvious. How would this differ from improving strength through changing of Neurological inhibition, where no change in the physiology of the muscle would be occur? With this being a temporary nervous system trick, how can that movement then become a learned behavior? It should not require change of muscle physiology/structure/length, if that length is already accessible, even temporarily. Would we not just need to make that accessibility more permanent, rather than a permanent tissue change, as the tissue properties are already sufficient to achieve that range/strength/etc. Thanks for your help in advance.

Faith in God is better ,poor ppl in boxing just do training everyone else does yet the christains are always in better shape or have more luck for some reason
I think it is the nervous system fooling us, not us fooling the nervous system...semantics I know, I think the difference is important though....thanks for the great video
Those bracelet selling liars just practice pushing down with a slight anterior or posterior assist into loss or maintenance of balance respectively. Similar to your second pt when you force extra SLR, evidenced by the excessive contralateral hip flexion and ipsilateral knee flexion on trial 2.
I wouldn't say you demonstrated "learning" here. It's merely a simple memory effect of muscles. You can observe that with every muscle, and it's completely reversible. If you do e.g. a flexion movement with your hand, then it will be more flexed in resting, if you extend your fingers, the hand will be more extended in resting. You can vice-versa that to no end. I guess repeated patterns result in something like "sensomotor amnesia", but we could just call it "muscle memory". It's like bending/twisting a wire, just that muscles don't break
More of these, please. For someone, this is the only way for learning.

This is a great video. Also I lost my shit when you back hand slapped that mans ass I was just not expecting that much finesse.
Andreo, thank you for making these videos, and making us all understand these things better. Keep up the great work.
Great stuff, as usual! Please, keep sharing
This immediately made me engage my levator labii! How did you do that? Do it again, please!!

LOL well that answers this question at 4:55 haha, great content as always!
OR.. that pimp hand at 6.13 is so strong that it has the power to disrupt everything

Great video! I guess it takes a while to differentiate between actual "learning" and "momentary change through awareness"

Somebody show that to Joe Rogan and Firasz Zahabi :D

+Feldenkrais with Alfons that is exactly what I am saying and the point of the video
Dr. Andreo Spina yes, but I also need to say something smart ! ;-) :-) greetings from Austria
+Feldenkrais with Alfons :) lol
Feldenkrais with Alfons hi Alfonse Dr Spina Alfonse is a good feldenkrais teacher.
..... F.A.P
