shooting fun i'm going to find out at a university hospital in aspen and undergo a test by dr klaus multi-axis head of psychosomatic. your. nose when i would have i don't have a real gun in my hand so is it anything like reality either from them from what we know of course the mechanics are somewhat different but it seems the brain responds in exactly the same way for a simulation and a real situation is that it is a. uncurious so i'll take off anything metallic that are inserted like yours is from it set up over here. to find out what happens in my head when i shoot i take an m.r.i. scan. with a joystick in my hand and a screen above me i have to shoot as many opponents as possible. klaus observes how my brain reacts. and indeed every time i hit an opponent the reward system is activated at the same time the part of the brain responsible for empathy is switched off. so could shooting games numb your real senses. almost short of religion and if you shoot people in these games again and again that's fine it's a 2000000 times a year and suppress your emotions to do so and maybe even get a reward
