How to hallucinate with ping-pong balls and a radio

Interesting article from the today's Boston Globe ...

Hack your brain

How to hallucinate with ping-pong balls and a radio

Text by Johan Lehrer, graphics by Javier Zarracina

DO YOU EVER want to change the way you see the world? Wouldn't it be fun to hallucinate on your lunch break? Although we typically associate such phenomena with powerful drugs like LSD or mescaline, it's easy to fling open the doors of perception without them: All it takes is a basic understanding of how the mind works.

The first thing to know is that the mind isn't a mirror, or even a passive observer of reality. Much of what we think of as being out there actually comes from in here, and is a byproduct of how the brain processes sensation. In recent years scientists have come up with a number of simple tricks that expose the artifice of our senses, so that we end up perceiving what we know isn't real - tweaking the cortex to produce something uncannily like hallucinations. Perhaps we hear the voice of someone who is no longer alive, or feel as if our nose is suddenly 3 feet long.

I have logged in this once so that I can set the "last seen" feature up.  let the faggots flow forth into OTD and have it.  Its funny how they all grew nuts after I left.  I'm not here, I'm not reading, but I urge you all to keep melting down over me.  I know, I hurt alot of people, and they deserved it.  epic win for me, epic fail for you. 

ythan, you rock dude.  i feel that my time at the shroomery was very positive and enjoyable, but this site is no longer for me. im not mad or upset or disappointed, i just want no part in a pg rated faggot festival.

Until the 20th century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see,
and hear.
Since the initial publication of the charged electromagnetic spectrum, humans
learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear... is less than one
millionth of reality.

Why call it hallucination? Why not just visualization/dreaming?

Nikola Tesla was able to close his eyes and dream whatever he wanted, he used his dreams to create the technology that lit up our entire globe. And Albert Einstein used this same technique to discover general relativity theory.

Anyway, I can also confirm from personal experience it's perfectly possible to dream on command. If you're interested in this, you should get into lucid dreaming or into meditation... why not discover all these hacks of the mind yourself?

This is pretty cool! But, I think it would work better with drugs than without.

Technically speaking a hallucination is any perception; visual, auditory ect, with no external stimuli.

I believe clinically its supposed to be a perception you percieve as real that isn't- thus lsd induced hallucinations really aren't.


Don't know how much the distinction is actually observed though.
