My 6-day long R-Phase course is now over and it is time to start digesting the information. My brain and body is a little bit saturated from all the information I received this past week through lecture and movement.
One of the things that came up early in the course was the plasticity of the human nervous system, which is one of the important concepts to understand with Z-Health. Plasticity simple means that the nervous system can be molded and remodeled through training, but basically what ever you do.
Below is a video demonstrating how plastic the nervous system really is.

Just simply really cool. The human body is an amazing machine at adaptation.
You also can read about neuroscientist Dr. Paul Bach-y-Rita who invented this device in this article run in Discovery magazine:

My understanding is that he founded this company, http://wicab.ca/index.php, which is making devices like this for general public use.
Be Well,
