Playing mind tricks...

You know how you sometimes click on a link that was shared by one of your friends and then you somehow end up finding some other interesting link because of that? Well, I just did that. I had clicked on link posted by a friend of mine on facebook and I ended up here:

10 Amazing Tricks to Play with your Brain

This site is pretty fun. I tried a few of the tricks that you can try right off that bat. But some of the others require some props so I'll have to wait to try those out. I would really like to try the phantom hand one and the Ganzfeld Procedure. That one looks very interesting and I wonder what my brain would come up with. 

One that I have been doing for years without really knowing why it worked was the "shrink your pain" one. I don't remember when it was but I figured out that whenever I hurt myself, if I didn't look at the injury the pain would go away instantly. It's a very handy trick since I'm a terribly clumsy person and cut or bump myself constantly; however, I don't know if I'd be willing to try that out on anything bigger than a small cut or bump, lol. 

When I got down to number three I had to try it out. It's called the "18000 Hz Sine Wine" and apparently people who over the age of twenty aren't able to hear it. This is because "as people get older they lose the ability to hear higher pitched sounds." Phew, I was still able to hear it so apprentely all that loud music hasn't affected me as much as I thought... yet. I tried it on both my sister (17) and brother (24) and they were both able to hear. However, when I tried it on my mother (47) she said she didn't hear jack. Crazy huh!?! LOL. Well anyway, check out the link to read all about the crazy stuff; pretty neat stuff, I think. :)
