THE GANZFELD PROCEDURE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING PAIN At first this sounds like a bad practical joke Begin by turning the radio to a station playing static. Then lie down on the couch and tape a pair of halved ping-pong balls over your eyes. Within minutes, you should begin to experience a bizarre set of sensory distortions. Some people see horses prancing in the clouds, or hear the voice of a dead relative. it turns out that the mind is addicted to sensation, so that when theres little to sense Last month, researchers at Oxford University announced the discovery of a powerful new painkiller: inverted binoculars. The scientists found that subjects who looked at a wounded hand through the wrong end of binoculars, making the hand appear smaller, felt significantly less pain and even experienced decreased swelling. According to the researchers, this that's the purpose of the ping-pnng halls and static your brain ends up inventing its own. balls bodily sensations such as pain modulated by what we see. So next time you stub your toe or cut a finger, do yourself a favor: look THE RUBBER HAND ILLUSION Afriend should。 then stroke both the real hand and the rubber hand in the same place and at the same time. After a few minutes, you Then have your friend stab the rubber hand, or hit it with a hammer You will feel a powerful olt of anxiety and pain, since your brain is convinced that the rubber hand is real. .. Real If you happen to have a realistic-looking rubber arm in the closet, then this hallucination is for you. Begin by hiding your actual arm behind a box on a table so that you can't see it. Then arrange the fake arm on the table, so that from your point of view it looks like it could be your hidden arm Rubber hand hand fake limb has become your own flesh. PURKINJE LIGHTS Jan Purkinje, a founding father of modern neuroscience, stumbled upon a reliable hallucination as a child, First he closed his eyes (very important), then tilted his head to face the sun and moved his hand quickly back and forth in front of his closed eyes. After a few seconds, Purkinje reported the appearance of "beautiful figures," which gradually became more intricate THE PINOCCHIO ILLUSION Scientists have since adapted this protocol for the lab, and constructed custom goggles that repetitively flash light at a particular frequency. This stimulation seems to short-circuit the isual cortex. Its cclls start firing in unpredictable bursts, which leads to the perception of imaginary images. In this sense, the hallucinations are a side effect of our need to always make sense of reality, as the brain struggles to decipher this cacophony of sensony This requires two chairs and a blindfold. The person wearing the blindfold should it in the rear chair, staring at the back of the person sitting in front. The blindfolded person should then reach around and place one hand on the other rson's nose. At the same time, hte should put his other hand on his own nose, and begin gently stroking both noses. After about a minute, more than 50 percent of subjects report that their nose feels incredibly long Eyes cortex
