The subjects in this experiment were asked to look at a series of patterns and to see colour in them. They all were tested under hypnosis, even without hypnosis they reported that they were able to see colours at will.
Scientist Giuliana Mazzoni, lead researcher says”These are very talented people. They can change their perception and experience of the world in ways that the rest of us cannot.”
I thought that this subject was intresting becuase the ability to control your brain like that and change your experiances. You can block out pain and hallucinate at will which can be helpful at times. Using this idea they could possibly make it so that people with illnesses that cause pain or are about to die can use this to block out all of their pain.
