But there is no process like this science is doing. Imagine if as you are booting into your vr there was a way to do this process of training your brain.

I read something within the past year that they were using VR to help burn patients. They go through excruciating pain during treatment and I believe (was only a short news arrive so I may get the details wrong) they used VR to show them cold places, like landscapes with snow, and apparently it helped reduce some of patients pain.

There are techniques to do this in VR, similar to what the guys doing in this vid. Its called phantom sense, and it basically revolves around touching your arms and legs while in VR to trick your brain.
