The Pinocchio experiment

[Turbine]

The Pinocchio experiment with body image

• Find 2 willing friends (you, plus one more person)
• Sit on a chair blind-folded, and ask your friend (let’s call her Sam) to sit on a chair in front of you, with her back to you.
• Take your right hand and put it on Sam’s nose
• Tap and stroke her nose in a gentle random manner, making exactly identical movements with your other hand, on your own nose.
• Continue this for 60 seconds.

About 50% of people will have the extremely odd sensation that their nose is 3 feet long, or somehow their nose is elsewhere!


Now in a hurry, if you can't find another person to volunteer. You can use your computer monitor, to substitute for the other persons nose tip. Find an area of the monitor that feels exactly like the top of your nose, then follow the above test. It's an amazing, surreal experience. After a while, it feels as if your nose was actually 3 feet ahead of you.

You passed the second experiment, all males will immediately think of sex after reading the 2nd and 4th step.

After reading the 2nd and 4th steps? I already had it on mind before opening the thread.

I've heard of something like this, where you drum your fingers on someone's knee under a table, and with your other hand drum the same pattern on the table directly above.

For some people, they get the sensation that the table is part of their body.

I haven't had a volunteer to try this with yet, since most people would consider it really weird.

These are from V.S. Ramachandran's research, well I read about it in his book at least. Another experiment is to put one hand under the table (so you cant see it), then have someone rub your hand and the table in the same manner for about 40seconds(?) (focus on the hand rubbing the table). It will feel like the table is your hand, especially weird if you break pattern and make a longer rub on the table than you do on your hand, seems to feel like your hand gets longer or something. Has to do with how your brain maps sensory information, visual information seems to play a large factor in this.

I forgot the exact description of what happens, but it has to do with your brain map of your body, in 3D space.
When you have stimuli conflicting with that map, the eyes try to remap.

Funny thing. Whenever I read the word "turbine" I now read it aloud as "turdbine".

THANKS A LOT QUAKE3WORLD FOR BRAINWASHING ME!
