電磁腦神教！Electromagnetic Brainology! Japanese sub _ 日本語 from LuYang on Vimeo.
印度教和佛教講這個世界的組成元素分為“地，水，火，風”，稱為四大。佛教把人類瀕死過程稱
為四大分解。地大降於水大，水大降於火大，火大降於風大，最後風大分離，徹底死亡。《維摩
經》說:「四大合故,假名為身;四大無主,身亦無我。」
Hinduism and Buddhism believe the world is of 4 elements: earth, water, fire and air, that are
the “great elements”. Buddhism describes the near death of human as the dissolution of the
elements. First the earth element sinks into the water element, and then the water element sinks
into the fire, and fire into the air, and the air element dissolves, leading to the ultimate death.
Stated in Vimalakirti Sutra, “The body is the issue of the four main elements, and in these
elements there is no owner and no agent.”
人身的肌肉等堅固質屬地，流動如血液津液等屬水，體溫屬火，以及體內氣分屬風。此四種物皆
見於大千世界，故稱為大。
Earth element is the firmness in our bodies like our muscles; water element is the liquidity of in
our bodies like our blood and body fluid; fire element is our inner temperature, ; and air element
is the chi in our bodies. The elements are all seen in the great chiliocosm, hence they are
named the great elements.
電磁腦神教內的四個神則是對應了四大痛苦在神經系統中的關聯。
The 4 deities in the Electromagnetic Brainology refer to 4 pains in the nervous system.
地神的威神力可以通過調節控制接受疼痛信號的丘腦神經元作用於大腦皮層感覺區來緩解人類的
地大之苦。
The anubhava of the earth deity controls the neuron in the thalamus which receives the pain
signal, acting at the sensory area of the cerebral cortex, to relieve the pain of earth element.
水神的威神力可以通過調節控制自律神經與調節大腦新舊皮質、下視丘與自律神經的關聯來緩解
或免除人類關於血液循環，排泄，唾涕膿血的水大之苦。
The anubhava of the water deity controls the autonomic nervous system, and the connection
among cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, and autonomic nervous system, to relieve and eliminate
the pain of water element, such as excretion, blood and pus.
人類的體溫，體能等屬於宇宙四大元素中的火大，火神的威神力可以通過控制作用於人類溫度感
受器的神經元參與來緩解或免除人類的火大之苦。
The temperature and stamina of human is categorized into fire element in the 4 great elements.
The anubhava of the fire deity controls the neuron at the thermal receptor, to relieve or eliminate
the pain of fire element.
風神駕馭著邊緣系統坐騎馳騁浩瀚宇宙化解著人類的風大之苦。風神的威神力通過調節控制人類
的呼吸中樞來緩解或免除人類的風大之苦。
The air deity drives on the limbic system across the chiliocosm to relieve the pain of air element.
The anubhava of the air deity controls the respiratory center of human to relieve or eliminate the
pain of air element.
這個作品從宗教對於四大的痛苦成分對應到神經系統內大腦感知的四大痛苦來創建了可以使用現
代醫療設備化解四大痛苦的四大之神。
The artwork creates 4 deities of the great elements, that address to 4 pain received in the brain
in the nervous system with modern medical devices.
每一個神都有DBS神冠（深層腦刺激神冠）深層腦刺激技術DBS是一個現代醫療非常廣泛的手術
技術手段，DBS療法主要是將電極植入到患者腦內，運用脈衝發生器刺激其大腦深部的某些神經
核，糾正異常的大腦電環路，從而減輕這些神經方面的癥狀。
Each deity owns a DBS mukut (Deep brain stimulation mukut). DBS technology is a widely
practiced surgical practice, while in a DBS treatment the electrode is planted in the brain of the
patient, making use of pulse generator to stimulate some nerve nucleus deep inside the brain,
correcting the abnormal network, hence relieving the symptoms.
作品中每一個神都會有一個自我刺激的超必殺，先用DBS技術將自己刺激強化稱為超神，這樣隱
喻了作者對於大腦深層多點同步刺激激發人腦潛能的妄想。
Each deity in the artwork has a self-stimulating super combo. They first stimulate and strengthen
themselves into a super deity, a metaphor of the artist’s fantasy that a better synchronization
deep inside the brain will lead to stimulation of the potential of the human brain.
另外每一個神都有TMS魔法杖的設定（經顱磁刺激技術）這種技術在現代腦科學醫療中運用廣泛
，通過低強度微量電流刺激大腦，改變患者大腦異常的腦電波，促使大腦分泌一系列與焦慮、抑
郁、失眠等疾病存在密切聯系的神經遞質和激素，以此實現對這些疾病的治療。
Besides, every deity is designed to own a TMS wand (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). The
technology is widely practiced in the modern neuroscience field, stimulating the brain with small
electric currents, correcting the abnormal brainwave, leading the brain to a series of
neurotransmitter and hormone that are closely related to the diseases like anxiety, depression,
and insomnia, and hence curing the diseases.
作品中每一個神的自我刺激超必殺都用到了TMS魔法杖，強化自我成為神。
The self-stimulating super combo of each deity in the artwork has involved the usage of the
TMS wand, strengthening themselves into deities.
DBS技術和TMS技術前者更電刺激更有關，後者跟電磁刺激更有關聯，所以這件作品統稱為電磁
腦神教。
DBS technology is related to electric stimulation, while TMS technology is more related to
electromagnetic stimulation. The artwork is hence collectively referred to Electromagnetic
Brainology.
這件作品是作者在開發完善一個龐大的關於宗教，醫療，腦科學方面的作品的一個環節，關於這
方面的探討，我從 2010年的《震顫麻痹計劃》2011年《忿怒金剛核》2015年《陸揚妄想曼陀
羅》2016年《陸揚妄想罪與罰》到2017年《電磁腦神教》以及2018年新作《電磁腦神教-腦制御
士》 以及未來的作品中作為一個長期思考探索研究的計劃，任何一件作品都是獨立但又和其他作
品有持續關聯的。
The artwork is a part of the artist developing a large project of religion, medicalogy, and
neuroscience. The artist has been exploring on the topic with Krafttremor – Parkinson’s disease
orchestra (2010), Wrathful King Kong Core (2011), LuYang Delusional Mandala (2015), LuYang
Delusional Crime and Punishment (2016), Electromagnetic Brainology (2017), and the
upcoming work Electromagnetic Brainology – [Brain control messenger] (2018) . Each work is independent while
related to the other works.
遠古人類看到有人在天上飛，就尊為神通，天神，而現代科技手段下似乎人人都可以借助科技在
天上飛，瞬間移動，遙視，等等，似乎那些超乎常人的超能力並不能代表宗教。宗教和真理信仰
是不同的存在，也許所謂的神通就是科技而已。
The ancient people addressed the man flying in the sky as god or deity, while everyone seems
to gain the ability of flight, teleportation, and clairvoyance with modern technology. Perhaps the
superpowers cannot represent religion. Religion and the faith in truth are different, perhaps the
superhuman ability is but technology.
這件作品的音樂部分制作邀請了著名J-pop制作團體Invisible manners , 他們除了制作了這個作品
的音樂還邀請了著名日本偶像一起制作了2018年新作的《電磁腦神教》主題曲
Famous J-Pop writer Invisible manners is invited to produce a part of the music in the artwork.
Besides writing the music for the artwork, they also invited famous Japanese idols to produce
the theme song of the new work “Electromagnetic Brainology” in 2018.
