Ice Lake Effect

The Flesh Confession Room in the Algorithmic Age

When BOB locked the fingerprint of the Bloomberg terminal into the titanium cabinet on the B3 floor of the JPMorgan Chase Building, his brachioradialis muscle still maintained a stress twitch of 3 times per second - this is the sequelae of monitoring crude oil futures for 72 hours in a row. Erica, a Finnish sauna master, placed the temperature measuring stone on the seventh spinous process of his cervical vertebra. The quartz watch showed that the correlation coefficient between the electromyographic signal here and the Nasdaq volatility was 0.87. "Your trapezius muscle hides yesterday's non-agricultural data," she said, watering with a pine spoon as precise as the Fed's interest rate hike, "Now let the steam devour those redundant parameters."

The fuse mechanism of neural synapses

85℃ cognitive zeroing protocol

The temperature curve on the copper heat sink of the sauna room was deliberately simulated to simulate the historical fluctuation pattern of the S&P 500 index. BOB's body surface temperature reached the critical point of 41.3℃ at 8 minutes and 42 seconds. At this time, the electroencephalogram showed that the activity of the prefrontal cortex dropped by 60%, which was equivalent to forcibly shutting down the high-frequency trading algorithm thread in the brain.

Ice Lake Effect

When he jumped into the -4℃ glacier water bath, his adrenaline level reached a peak within 0.3 seconds, and the response speed of the sympathetic nervous system exceeded the automatic stop-loss system during the Wall Street flash crash. The biofeedback screen on the wall of the Asian escort club showed in real time: This extreme temperature difference stimulation can increase the efficiency of hippocampal nerve regeneration by 200%.

Birch whipping therapy

When Erica whipped his back with fresh birch branches, the α-pinene molecules produced by the contact between plant essential oils and skin were reorganizing his disordered autonomic nervous system in a Brownian motion trajectory. "It's more effective than Ritalin before the morning meeting," BOB counted the red marks on his shoulder blades, "These bruises just constitute my risk exposure model."

Reset neuroeconomics

When BOB walked out of the steam room wrapped in an Icelandic geothermal wool blanket, the default mode network (DMN) in his skull was releasing the first delta wave since the interest rate meeting at the beginning of the year. The magnetoencephalogram next to the dressing mirror showed that the sensitivity of his brain reward circuit to the US dollar index had dropped from 0.9 to 0.4, and the amygdala's response delay to stop-loss orders increased by 17 milliseconds - this is exactly the neurobiological difference between top traders and ordinary traders. The sweat evaporating from the gaps between the sauna stones showed an amazing pattern under the infrared thermal imaging camera: it was clearly the K-line chart of the gold futures position he closed last night.
