Imagine instead of ping-pong balls, you had tiny green lasers firing /xthru/ your eyes, little bits of colored light, a fleeting passing sensation, the feeling of information breathing past your fingers and skin like dandelion petals caught in a breeze. JUST ADD BIOFEEDBACK. (all that and a comfy ergonomic chair) We also need legal and #whatworks safeguards as users to protect the sovereignty & autonomy of our sensoriums. #usersunion
“The cognitive science journal Cortex has just released a special issue on the neuropsychology of paranormal experiences and belief, and contains a fantastic article on hallucinations induced by the Ganzfeld procedure.
The Ganzfeld procedure exposes the participant to ‘unstructured’ sensations usually by placing half ping-pong balls over the eyes so they can only see diffuse white light and by playing white noise through headphones.
It is probably best known for its uses in parapsychology experiments, but it is also used to induce hallucinations and sensory distortions which are much more likely to occur in the absence of clearly defined sensory experiences.”
