A single dose psychological intervention, which includes using the computer game Tetris, can prevent the unpleasant, intrusive memories that develop in some people after suffering a traumatic event.
She posits that some people have a ‘combination lock’ which, when the right numbers all come up together, pushes them over the line into a horrific violent act.
EG if someone was beaten by their father as a child, go through some trauma as an adult, are under a lot of stress, then some guy in the street who looks a lot like their dad used to starts screaming at him because he bumped into him, then BLAM they’re smashing his face in with a nearby brick before they understand what’s happening.

Whoa shit 😳
There was another study that also looked into that, I believe it was called MK-ULTRA.
I didn’t know Muse did psychological studies. Fascinating!
I mean that’s just a trauma response. Hardly revolutionary. Most people with traumatic experiences have that.
