One-Trial Shame Encoder — Amygdala Hijack Neuroscience: 8-Stage Animation of How Single Bathroom Event Creates Permanent Fear Memory

8-stage animated neuroscience of one-trial conditioning: Baseline → 7Hz Onset (vagal, pre-conscious) → Helmholtz+Faraday (bowl vibration, urgency) → IR laser word delivery (CS registered) → Flush shame peak (triple-channel US: infrasound+urgency+shame) → One-trial encoding (HPA axis, cortisol surge, PFC suppression 60%) → Generalisation (other bathrooms, other private moments) → Chronic fear (toilet phobia, IBS-U, social restriction). Brain region activations (hippocampus, amygdala, PFC, vagal tone) animated per stage.
