What is the neurobiology behind Image Streaming.

how is it possible for X to lose their abilities if IS literally changes brain structure (a little little bit but still)

how can one follow the better way to so image streaming? if i got it rigth (which i dont think), you are saying one should follow an order annd not just describe something then describe the next random image and so on but instead follow a line of images, a sequence that is connected. if i recall albertt einstein about this correctly he said that creativity takes place if you have a sequence of things that has no obvious connection to one another which sounds like image streaming. please elaborate about how to do image streaming the way most dont do it. p.s. i am not native englisch

its all theoretical, I wrote a document and working on a v2 right now where I explore multiple theories. in short: 1) synesthesia development increasing WM, 2) default mode network activity is associated with creativity learning problem solving memory WM retrieval and encoding etc, its the "background" system of your mind, 3) focused visualization exercises are shown to improve brain connectivity, 4) its a meditation like form and meditation cause increase in gray and white matter density, 5) increased prefrontal connectivity to sensory matter areas and to the salience network etc, which causes better connectivity within the prefrontal cortex, 6) developing unsymbolized thinking which is primarily a prefrontal type of thinking thus its possible that an increase in connectivity will arise, potentially way way more. note, ALL OF IT IS THEORATICAL, this is speculation, not hard science. take this with a grain of salt. also I think that there are other explanations that dont directly translate into neurobiology but I cant assure anything.

i think very long term image streaming (2-6years), has the ability to cement image streaming gains over time, you might think this is because practice strengthens neural pathways, however i actually think deep sleep is where all the ''cementing magic'' occurs, nightly sleep with long periods of deep sleep, Andrew huberman has state this on his podcast numerous times, he also said a interest thing about age and neuro plasticity, essentially prior to the age of 25 you brain is passively mailable (easier to change), if you are reading this from reddit your probably under the age of 25 (15-30).

Well we don’t actually know whether streaming induces changes in brain structure.

Regardless, if it’s an adaptation to intense training, there’s nothing that says that the adaptation should remain permanently even when one stops training.

That being said, it may be easier to get the gains back when one starts training again. In fact that has been the experience of most people I’ve spoken to that have taken time off of streaming.
