Your brain isn’t that smart, it can be tricked!
Reduce your pain by using binoculars
A research study at Oxford University shows that pain is modulated by what we see. It is experimentally proved that the pain sense can be reduced when you look at the injured part of your body through inverted binoculars. In such way, your wound become smaller and your brain will seem to be reducing the pain sensation.
Jimmy’s mother trick
Jimmy’s mother has four children: April, May, June and …?
If your answer is July, you’ve been tricked by your brain! The correct answer should be Jimmy. Human brain is built to give quick respond and look for patterns in everything. When you answer “july” (just because it is the next month of June) without further thought, it reveals your automatic, or system 1, brain processes at work.
Experience Phantom Sensation
Phantom sensations are described as the perception from limb or an organ that is not physically part of the body.
Step 1: Cover your hand with a box on table so you can’t see it.
Step 2: Place a fake hand next to it.
Step 3: Get your friend to start stroking both your hand and the fake hand
simultaneously with brush.
Step 4: You will start to feel as like the dummy hand is your own hand.
Step 5: Strike a rubber band on the dummy hand may induce pain on your own hand
as your brain has been deceived into thinking that it is your hand.
Sensations are recorded most frequently following the amputation of an arm or a leg, but may also occur following the removal of a breast or an internal organ.
