She uses tools like VR headsets, spatial acoustics, haptic feedback, and even olfactory mimicry to induce reactions in patients' bodies that help treat a variety of physiological and psychological conditions, from chronic pain, to compulsive behavior, without the use of pharmaceuticals or surgical techniques. Virtualists don't exist yet, but after reading VRx they just might.   In recent years, scientists have established that people's perceptions - their subjective experiences of the world - influence how their bodies work. We typically have little control over our perceptions, particularly when we are sick. But what could we do if we did? In VRx Brennan Spiegel introduces readers to a new kind of medicine, called virtual therapeutics, answering exactly this question, using technology that is already available.  It works through two basic but powerful psychological concepts: embodied cognition,  the idea that thought processes involve the whole body, not just the brain; and presence, the ability of virtual reality to trick your body into thinking it's somewhere that it isn't, or can do something that it can't usually do. VRx takes readers on a mindbending journey through the ways in which these deep connections between our minds and our bodies are being put to good use. We learn about the woman who endures an exceptionally painful labor by completing breathing exercises on a digital beach, the schizophrenic patient who literally confronts the demon inside his head, the burn victims who are able to manage their pain better after traversing snowy virtual landscapes, and the doctor who confronted his own fear of mortality by watching himself die.   Brimming with extraordinary stories of the power of virtual therapeutics to treat both physical and psychological conditions, VRx offers nothing short of a  completely new way of healing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49585982439697,"sku":"GOR012488767","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49692705161489,"sku":"CIN1541699769G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52842694377745,"sku":"GOR013245580","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53429450932497,"sku":"CIN1541699769VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1541699769.jpg?v=1775728580"},{"product_id":"acing-the-ibd-questions-on-the-gi-board-exam-book-brennan-spiegel-9781617110313","title":"Acing the IBD Questions on the GI Board Exam","description":"The world of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) knowledge is vast.

Dr Brennan Spiegel reveals how this invisible force influences everything from digestion to depression — and how building gravity resilience can help us find balance, stand stronger, and live longer.    Pull presents a groundbreaking exploration of how gravity influences conditions of body and mind that have puzzled medical professionals for centuries. Why do people with depression literally feel like they’re being dragged to the ground? Why do you get that butterfly feeling in your stomach when going down a roller coaster? Why do you get it when you are ‘falling’ in love? What can we learn from astronauts with heartburn and swollen faces to inform our lives back on Earth? How do gut microbes help us fight gravity? And most importantly, how can we change our connection to gravity for the better? To get there, Spiegel proposes the concept of ‘gravity resilience’, a fresh perspective on traditional interventions such as weight loss, exercise, diet, and meditation.   Rooted in hard science, buttressed by compelling storytelling, and punctuated with actionable strategies to boost your own gravity resilience, Pull is an eye-opening, life-changing book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52153759203601,"sku":"NGR9781917189507","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781917189507.jpg?v=1757621725"},{"product_id":"acing-the-gi-board-exam-book-brennan-spiegel-9781556428685","title":"Acing The GI Board Exam","description":"How did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle create a character so real and life-like? In a nutshell: he didn't  As is often the case, fiction stems from real life. In the case of Sherlock Holmes, Doyle's inspiration was Joseph Bell. While Joseph Bell doesn't have near the fame of his fictitious counterpart, Bell was actually a pioneer of forensic science. Bell's unique skills at observation and deduction made him a celebrity and famous lecturer in his homeland of Scotland. This book traces the life and times of one of the most important, but largely overlooked, scientists who ever lived.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52154655605009,"sku":"CIN1556428685G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781556428685.jpg?v=1757628379"},{"product_id":"guide-to-the-guidelines-volume-2-book-brennan-spiegel-9798218464820","title":"Guide to the Guidelines, Volume 2","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53634676228369,"sku":"NLS9798218464820","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53658039779601,"sku":"NIN9798218464820","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798218464820.jpg?v=1780994057"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-brennan-spiegel.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
