🎰Why do gambling games become an addiction?

Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard for some people to stop playing, even when they’re losing? Gambling addiction (ludomania) is not just a lack of willpower, but a complex interaction between the brain, emotions, and psychology.

Here are the main reasons identified by specialists:

The brain’s reward system: Gambling triggers the release of dopamine, similar to substance use. The brain learns to seek that intense “feel-good” state, becoming increasingly less sensitive to the small pleasures of everyday life.

The “near-miss” effect: Studies show that moments when a player comes very close to winning are processed by the brain as victories, stimulating the urge to continue playing immediately.

Coping mechanism (Escapism): For many, gambling represents a way to escape stress, anxiety, or depression. Games become a temporary “refuge” from real-life problems.

The illusion of control: Players tend to believe they can influence the outcome through certain strategies or rituals, ignoring the fact that the results are purely random.

If you or someone close to you is going through a difficult situation, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Mental health comes first! 🧠💡

To help psychotherapists in their work with their clients we are working in developing virtual reality applications that will help them to reduce their addiction.

Cum ar arăta spațiul digital dacă l-am putea explora în viața reală?

„This is how Meta really feels” a investigat identitatea noastră digitală și relația cu amintirile stocate în spațiul virtual.

Un colectiv de artiști de teatru, dans și new media și-au propus să transforme experiența digitală într-una materială.

„This is how Meta really feels” reprezintă un video eseu infografic. Analizate prin metode de machine learning, datele colectate prin casca EEG în instalația anterioara („Camera Meta”), au generat tipare comportamentale și au stat la baza creării unei vizualizări artistice sub forma unui conținut video digital.

Această instalație oferă o perspectivă asupra modului în care arta influențează mintea și emoțiile umane și crește gradul de sensibilizare cu privire la conexiunile complexe dintre minte, corp și mediul înconjurător, evidențiind totodată importanța conștientizării și gestionării stărilor noastre interne în interacțiunile cu lumea din jur.

Prin îmbinarea artei cu resurse științifice și tehnologii, artiștii investighează modul în care reacționăm emoțional și
comportamental în contextul experienței META.

Memories can pass between generations through DNA.

We might be born with memories of our ancestors imprinted on our DNA, and it would also explain how some people know things they never learned. It's possible that our most basic survival instincts might come from some long ago trauma experienced by a dead relative. Memories would have to shape the genetic material in a way that can be carried on to your children. You'd have to have the memories before you have children, and they would have to have impacted your genetic material in a way that would be manifested in the genetic material of your child. If that hasn't happened, then there's nothing to unlock the memories. There's evidence in rodents that you can breed-learning into the next generation. If rodents find themselves in a certain maze and their parents have learned some things about the maze, then the little rodents don't have to start from scratch. So it’s possible to have some memory in your genetic material. Instinct could be considered a form of memory from our ancestors. Instinct is carried in the genes and shapes your brain in a certain way, so it could be considered as a simple form of genetic memory.

There's a possibility that genetic memory is linked to intergenerational trauma and the transmission of historical oppression. If your trauma is severe, it could impact your genetic material depending on the condition of what your body is in. It’s biologically plausible for those kinds of memories to be passed on. Memories may be passed down through generations via DNA in a process that may be the underlying cause of phobias. Previous research found that mice can pass on learned information about traumatic or stressful experiences to subsequent generations. The results may help to explain why people suffer from irrational phobias; it may be based on the inherited experiences of their ancestors. So, fear of spiders may in fact be a defense mechanism inherited by an ancestors' frightening encounter with an arachnid. These findings could help explain, if not treat, various disorders such as phobias, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Talented people who are gifted without rigorous training might have also received these talents from one of their ancestors, such as playing an instrument, or math and problem-solving skills.

More research is still needed to fully understand genetic memory. Genetic memory research, though in its early stages and faced with ethical complexities, offers exciting potential for scientific advancement. If proven, it could reshape how we treat mental health disorders like phobias, anxieties, and PTSD by identifying and addressing epigenetic markers underlying these conditions. This research might offer new understanding of how historical trauma leaves biological traces across generations, leading to improved, culturally sensitive therapies. Beyond that, genetic memory could help personalize education, with educators tailoring approaches based on students' innate predispositions and unlocking hidden potential. The future might even hold personalized medicine through epigenetic editing, targeting the root of certain health conditions. However, safety and ethical considerations are crucial before any such interventions are considered.

Intervențiile psihoterapeutice cu ajutorul realitătii virtuale (VR) utilizează medii imersive pentru a ajuta indivizii să se confrunte cu temerile sau traumele lor, ajutând la reducerea simptomelor și la construirea abilităților pentru a face față situațiilor din lumea reală (Oswald et al., 2023).
