Brain Games

Although it's a biological marvel capable of amazing feats, your brain is only human and if you try hard enough you can play some tricks on it, which is doubly impressive since it's the one helping you play the tricks in the first place. Except when you are chemically changed, really exhausted, or overly smitten with a beautiful person you're trying to impress, your brain is nearly always there when you need it.

Game 1:

Seeing a full-color version of a black-and-white image Finding color where there is none, especially you can trick your brain into viewing black and white images as full color if you focus on a certain area, was another technique that found some traction on tik-tok. once the reverse color image is switched to black and white again, your eyes will perceive the colors that were missing in the contrasted version. The illusion is brief, but for a brief period of time you should perceive the black and white photo in full true color. As you focus on the spot, your color receptors in your eyes start to become fatigued. Your cone perceives color with three cones sensitive to wavelengths of blue, red, and green.

Game 2:

The nocebo effect may cause you to feel ill or in pain. We've already talked about placebos, so let's move on to the nocebo effect, which may actually cause you to feel ill and in pain for absolutely no reason at all by deceiving your brain into thinking unpleasant things would happen. and then it does only because you think that way. An illustration of how this might operate is the placebo effect, which was actually half of what occurred in the placebo sleep example. If you take a useless pill and a doctor tells you it'll make you feel great and it does, that's a placebo, but if the doctor says it has terrible side effects and you start to feel sick, that's the no sibo effect. All of your brain's symptoms are made up based on what it has been

Game 3:

The trick here is as easy to accomplish as it is confusing, and you can try it at home if you like. You'll need a false hand of some sort; a blown-up rubber glove will serve. Rest your right forearm on a table while keeping your hand hidden in a box. back of cardboard Place the rubber hand in front of you, lined up with your shoulder. You can use a towel to cover it below the wrist to help complete the illusion. Your other hand can still be under the table. Have someone sit across from you and stroke both your hidden hand and the rubber hand simultaneously with two paintbrushes. If the stimulation is properly timed, most people will start to think the rubber hand is their real hand when it is threatened.

Game 4:

Similar to the rubber hand illusion, out of body virtual reality uses complete body immersion to deceive you into having an outer body experience. Your sense of self and body is constructed through a lot of sensory data. Sight is a big part of it, but what you can feel physically and where you feel your body is orientated or relevant as well. When you trick the brain by showing it new information that doesn't match up, it freaks out a little bit in experiments. The virtual reality environment needs to present you with a duplicate of yourself, and then all someone needs to do is poke you with a stick. In one experiment, participants were asked to enter a virtual body and wear it as if it were their own. Then, their perspective was changed so that instead of being in the virtual body, they were in a different one, where they could actually feel themselves in that other virtual body when sensations matched up to what they were also feeling at one point, when the virtual body was smashed with a hammer, the participants registered fear responses, including increased sweating and pulse rate as though they were experiencing the assault themselves.
