i can't imagine who would actually try the rubber hand thing. "hey, want to trick yourself into feeling excrutiating pain?" "would i!"

"If you happen to have a realistic looking rubber hand in your closet..."

I mean, who hasn't?

You can also try this: Lie down on your stomach, close your eyes and have a friend hold your arms up off the ground and hold them for a minute or so. Then have your friend bring your arms down very slowly. Eventually it will start to feel as if your arms are going right through the floor. It's okay.

Instead of touching the nose, try touching the boobs (and your chest) instead. After a while it will feel as if you have boobs, really long boobs. *other person must have boobs.

Alternatively, touch your nose and the girls boobs. It will feel as if you have really long boobs instead of a nose. If it doesn't work, at least you have been touching boobs.

Sadly, I do not have rubber hand. . . at hand. But I, as well as my friends, have noses. We just might try the nose thing.

Anyone else see the episode of House where he uses a rendition of the rubber hand illusion to ease the pain of an amputee?

-Season 6, Episode 3 if anyone is interested.

Look up into the air on a clear night, and begin spinning with your arms out while looking at the sky. It is very important that you focus directly at a single star, and after 40-60 seconds, stop spinning, look forward, and clap your hands once. You should fall to the ground and be unable to get up for a moment. The longer you spin, the better it works. I find myself unconsciously spinning faster and faster, but don't normally notice this, and this is normal.

Where do I find ping pong balls at 12.30 am?

There is another mind-hack that I know and has the strongest effect.

Tilt your head upwards and close your eyes.

Then you visualize and imagine a salt-shaker in the palm of your hand.

Pretend to shake a bit of salt into your mouth with your eyes closed and head upwards and you will actually taste the salt.

This also works if you visualize/imagine pepper.

Along the lines of the pinocchio illusion, if your male and sit behind a lady blindfolded, and reach both hands around and feel her breasts, its a pretty sweet sensation: like you're feeling some boobs. Discovered by Dr. Coppa-feel.

I went on a tour of a haunted theatre for Halloween and the tour guides had us do something similar to the Ganzfeld procedure to communicate with the ghosts. We were in a dark room instead of the ping pong ball thing. The ghost hunters call it Electronic Voice Phenomenon

There was at least one person per small group that heard a voice in the static. When we were in a pitch black room with no sound, a few people saw light flashes or dots of light.

I woke up my roomie to try out the Pinocchio effect. It's midnight. I have to wake up for work in less than 4 hours. It was totally worth it.

I used to like playing 'mind fucks' like these on my friends whilst off our faces.

One time i got a friend lying on his back with one eye closed and the other open but covered with a glass coke bottle. Then went into a trippy story that come to think of it was like a hypnosis script. It sort of went..."imagine you are an ashtray. You are lying on a coffee table. There are people all around you chatting, but all you can hear is muffled noises and feel the bumps and the hum of people having a good time"...blah blah blah. Basically tripping him out into a kind of trance. Then just as i felt he was into it mid sentence and out of nowhere, I stubbed a lit cigarette into the bottle just above his open eye.

He cried and laughed and pissed and shit

I've done the Ganzfeld Experiment a few times.

If you want to do it - use a red light source in the room. The halved ping pong balls diffuse red light and it's very calming.

Make sure the room you're in is perfectly warm enough - not hot, not cold.

Make sure the bed you're lying on is perfectly comfortable.

Also, use headphones to listen to static instead of a radio in the room (which you can tell where the sound is coming from)

All of the above help you to cut out external stimulus, and you'll then go on a crazy voyage. But rather than a few minutes, it usually takes 30-60 minutes for it to start. And never overly wild (you need a proper sensory deprivation chamber for that).

I heard about it a few years ago, and every year, I'll try it. It's worth doing, even if for no other reason that having an incredibly relaxed few hours!

Minor annoyance: You wont find a radio station playing static, rather the absence of a station makes static.

maninthehighcastle · 1 year

The Rubber Hand trick works a whole lot better if someone holds a gom jabbar to your neck while they do it.

What happened to the others who tried this trick? They tried and failed?

Oh, no, they tried and died.

PartyBusGaming · 1 year

Lie on the floor or a sofa on your back and have a friend hold your leg at about 45 degree. Relax that leg completely and have them hold it there for a few minutes. This will make your brain think your leg is parallel to the other one. Have them slowly lower that leg and it will feel like it's going through the floor.

Seriously though, if you happen to have a realistic looking rubber hand in your closet, what hallucination ISN'T for you?

rr_at_reddit · 1 year

turning the radio to a station playing static

Well, I tried that, but it just doesn't work. No station was playing static, just news, music, etc. Maybe this was a good thing because I stopped the experiment before I had to destroy a ping-pong ball.

If you ever get a chance to see Tony Conrads film The Flicker projected in person I highly recommend it. It completely destroyed my sense of time and caused some slight color visual hallucinations after a while.
