In which the listener is introduced to their own autonomic brain processing. we begin with demonstrating auditory processing. Specifically, we demonstrate the Deutch effect of how sound is coded to be speech or music. That is a trick. The technique section presents my research findings on addiction presented at the December 2019 AAAP meeting in San Diego. To summarize: everyone gets better. The drop outs from Methadone and Suboxone centers decline with time. Furthermore, those dropping out often/usually drop back in. Two Thirds of those coming back, do better by every measure. Obviously this extrapolates to meaning, everyone is going to eventually recover from opiate addiction. Medication assisted treatment saves lives with an over 2/3's reduction of mortality from the moment people enter treatment (ok, it's probably more like over 90% reduction, but I like to understate).
