Science!: Flies, Juggling and Roaches

can I just sign up for not having stuff put in my head thanks

Nope, you're already signed up. In fact, you're signed up for every brain-altering study for the next twenty years.

Fun article. It's crazy what can be done with the brain and just how much your perception of reality relies on what your brain accepts as reality.

I'm absolutely certain that there is some little backwater village in the far reaches of nowhere where they lock you up for your own safety because you DON'T hear the voices.

Sanity is majority opinion. And the brain is a scary, scary thing when you think about it... with your brain.

Meta-discussions are always fun, especially when the person you're having one with can't handle it. I once had a friend refuse to believe that there was a science of knowledge before.

I guess that's helpful stuff for keeping cockroaches off your counter, but I have to think, they are no less creepy just wandering the floors of your home. Though the part about barnacle prevention is better. Ship layovers for cleaning the hull I bet are pretty expensive. Except the Barnacle Scrapers Union and Keelhaulers Guild may have a different opinion.

I can't stop thinking about the guy in "A Clockwork Orange" where they make him severely ill just by thinking about violence or sex. That would be awesome, make a pedophile throw up and scream in agony every time he sees a child.

I'm sure that reaction would do wonders for the child, seeing someone scream when they see them, then throw up. Great for their psyche. Though would be absolutely hilarious if the offender was either a clown, Ronald McDonald, or a Disneyland Character.

did anyone else got the song "peanut butter jelly time" stuck in your head after the first paragraph???

haha damn

also this studies seem like a new kind of weapon for the mighty US military to use i think

but i think the most important point is that humans have the capaciy to overcome any fear they might get over the years, so in general it might work, but for the few that can overcome their fears it will just be a bad memory and nothing more

I never thought about that, would make an awesome "Cyanide and Happiness" strip to be honest.
Poor children though, walking with mommy into a restaurant and just having a man go "oh my god, a child! AaaaAAAAAaaaaaaaaaAAAAA, the horror. Take him away, take him away!" followed by a tiny vomit covered figure with mental scars for the rest of his life.

Wow, that sounds awesome! Can you imagine? Instead of sending people to prison, we can just implant the memories in and make them [i/]think[/i] they've been there.

Spoiler: Or alternatively...

Isn't the memory thing just incredibly fast classical condition? So in theory it already exist you just have to put a lot more effort in.

Controlling minds with laser pulses just sounds much too cool though

These memories were implanted by scientists - scientists hellbent on the destruction of all pizza and anything pizza related.

Those bastards!!

Lauren Admire is grossed out just from looking at a photo of a roach.

You and me both

Ok, I think Yogg with 0 keepers is a little more difficult than juggling... Then again, it is just difficult because 25 people have to be perfect instead of just one, so I guess apples and oranges.
