A NEUROSCIENTIST is using paintings to prove his theory that bullfighters are ‘aliens’ compared to other people.
Malaga brain specialist Antonio Alcala Malave has collaborated with painter Andres Merida, analysing data from the last three years.
“The mind of the bullfighter is not the same as normal people,” said Malave, who admitted he had not actually analysed any bullfighters since starting his research.
“Anatomically speaking, there are certain areas of a bullfighter’s brain that are more developed than in that of a ‘normal’ human being,” he argued.
“The differences are so profound, the bullfighter might well be considered an alien.”
During his talk entitled The Magic of the Bullfighter’s Mind in Madrid, Malave used Merida’s paintings to explain his theory that an irreversible chemical change occurs in the brain when a novice bullfighter becomes an established bullfighter.
“A bestial change occurs, which from that moment onwards can be witnessed both inside and outside the bullring,” he said.
Malave said the key element forming the brain of a bullfighter was fear.
“The novice fighter feels fear the same as anyone else – and often does not take that step into the precipice,” he said.
“The experienced bullfighter, however, jumps into the precipice knowing he will continue to be scared – and that is when the change occurs.
“This fear transforms the bullfighter’s brain. He ceases to be scared and comes through a completely different person.”
Malave will give the conference again in Malaga at the end of the month.
lol, brain damaged more like.
““The mind of the bullfighter is not the same as normal people,” said Malave, who admitted he had not actually analysed any bullfighters since starting his research.”
Yes, I think I know what you are trying to say, Sr Malave. You have no idea if what you are postulating is true or not.
Thank you and goodnight.

The esteemed scientist should read Dr Caroline Leaf’s book
you can change your life we can all re design our brains, it is possible. the brain is capable of so much more than we know now its possibilites are endless!! I would not mind betting in 100 years or who knows how long the human race will be acheiving so much more through control over the brain!! The Bible says we are ‘Fearfully and wonderfully made’
