Discovering the Unexpected – fascinating research for spinal cord injury
My Feldenkrais work with spinal cord injured people has led me into a fascinating 30-year research process I have documented with more than 400 hours of videos that show how perception and movement can re-emerge where it was partially or completely lost. ”People can see and understand it” (Carl Ginsburg): Evolutionary central pattern movements (rhythmic crawling, walking…) are initiated without descending information from the cortex. The trains of movement (possibly along Myofascial Trains) are so strong that people learn to decode them. This leaves traces in the body maps of the brain (neural plasticity). A new self-image can develop.
