Chapter 606 - 279: New Zealand

Many medical discoveries in the world have only been made in very unexpected circumstances, leading to outstanding therapeutic effects in a particular field, thus bringing about immense wealth and social status rewards.

For example, a mold accidentally dropped onto a Petri dish can be antibacterial, a drug for treating diarrhea has a good effect on lowering blood pressure, or a special effect drug originally developed for lowering blood pressure ends up becoming Viagra for treating physiological disorders.

He initially speculates.

Painting Knife Painting, due to its obscurity, was often overlooked by psychologists, making it consistently unnoticed compared to ordinary watercolor illustrations, which can more likely activate the cerebral cortex.

Judging by the situation, maybe Painting Knife Painting — is the undiscovered New Continent in the autism industry.

To this end, he gathered various kinds of Painting Knife Painting drafts, and even had two students personally learn the techniques related to painting with an Oil Painting Knife for testing.

Painting Knife Painting has long been known for allowing amateurs without any artistic foundation to quickly get started.

But seeing the research results at that moment did make the scholar feel puzzled.

His guess was correct.

Unfortunately, it was only half correct.

The bright thick painting technique indeed stimulates the brain of people with autism, but the effect is not significant.

To make an inappropriate analogy.

If the effect of Ordinary fairy tale illustrations in the control group is 1, and the New version of "Little Prince" is 10, then those Painting Knife Painting images he found generally have an effect fluctuating in the range of 1.5~3.

To control variables, the scholar even hired a Painting Knife Painting expert with limited funds to replicate a cover illustration of "Little Prince."

While the visible differences in the visual experience are notable, the replica also includes the elements and composition that the original Detective Cat illustration should have had.

Yet the replica can only reach about half of the original’s effect.

This is very perplexing.

Science, so-called, should be the kind of hard and solid objective law that runs the universe, independent of Yao’s existence, unaffected by Xie’s demise.

The biggest distinction between it and mysticism is that mysticism exists through specific religious carriers, while all scientific research is replicable.

This is also currently the main limitation that restricts the old scholars from publishing papers.

How he’s going to explain to academia that only the illustrations done by Detective Cat with Oil Painting Knife have such a good effect, this bizarre phenomenon?

Then wouldn’t the New version of "Little Prince" become a scientific version of the "Shroud of Turin," such a holy relic!

"It’s the role of Painting Knife Painting... but in the current research of Detective Cat’s work, the effect is expressed more markedly than ordinary people." The old man cautiously weighed his words.

"So Detective Cat’s mastery of Painting Knife Techniques is higher than other artists who use the Painting Knife, right? Her work communicates the soul more effectively." Anna said with a smile.

Detective Cat paints better — this is also currently the most reliable answer the research team at King’s College London can think of.

If illustration therapy was considered as a surgery targeted at the soul or a mental massage,

Then this conclusion would not be unacceptable.

Why are there some high-end surgeries that only those one or two authoritative doctors can perform?

Why do some top Yoga therapists in the Manhattan District sell a two-hour therapy session for a high price of 100,000 US Dollars?

In the movie "Doctor Strange," there is only one surgeon in the world who can treat the protagonist Strange’s complex hand fractures, but it’s not a Marvel fabricated plot.

In the real world, one or two surgeons monopolizing all high-end cases in a specific medical field and earning hundreds of millions in surgery fees a year is not an impossible thing.

Especially in specialized fields like ophthalmology or sports orthopedics.

The medical textbooks and surgical plans are there, why can he earn this money while other doctors can’t? Ultimately, it’s because he possesses better surgical skills.

But in the subconscious mind of the old scholar, he believes that surgical medicine is much more complex than painting, music, and many other fields.

Strumming the strings and brushing paint on the canvas — what’s so profound about that.

And saying "paints better" is too abstract, without any concrete clear scientific standard.

So he very much dislikes this answer.

"I’d rather believe that there’s some detail principle in Detective Cat’s painting effect that we haven’t explored yet, triggering the viewer’s visual reflection, after all, brain science remains a field full of unknowns... the soul thing is too far-fetched."

The old scholar bleated painfully.

Miss Elina, with a different worldview, did not argue too much.

The girl happily hung up the phone after asking a few questions.

The 5 million Euro donation has many follow-up schedules that need to be transferred between the foundation and King’s University.

These matters are naturally handled by her staff.

Anna now already got the answer she wanted.

Since Painting Knife Painting does have a good effect on treating autism, and Detective Cat Sister’s technique is precious and irreplaceable.

The maneuvering room as an agent is indeed plenty.

"No wonder my Van Gogh, Elder Sister is so awesome!"

Anna doesn’t care how unreasonable this matter is.

Art has never been a reasonable thing, it’s the collision between souls and souls, the blending between thoughts and thoughts.
