Se mi lasci, ti cancello, almeno un po'! | Sara Borgomaneri | TEDxSan Giovanni in Persiceto
Ci sono ricordi che non si dimenticano.
Ma cosa succederebbe se potessimo attenuarne il peso?
Sara, ci accompagna al confine tra memoria ed emozione, dove la scienza sta imparando a separare il ricordo dalla sofferenza.
Un viaggio affascinante che parte da una domanda semplice ma potentissima: e se davvero potessimo lasciar andare ciò che ci fa male… almeno un po’?
Tra studi clinici, TMS e implicazioni etiche, una nuova frontiera si apre sul trattamento di traumi, fobie e dipendenze.
Perché la mente dimentica, ma la scienza oggi può scegliere come.
