So long. Farewell

May 18th 2009 06:05
Hi all, I will no longer be posting from this site so it is up for grabs. It has numerous subscribers and a good hit rate. For someone who can spend the time on it, it's a great little blog.

I don't have the time to maintain it any more and I can't give it the attention it deserves so I am concentrating on just a couple of blogs now.

Thanks for all the readers and viewers who have supported the blog since I took it over.

Cheers

Cheryl J

Due to personal circumstances I am taking a short hiatus from blogging. I hope you will all understand and that I don't lose my lovely audience. I'll be back to it as soon as I can.



Cheers to you all.

Person Swap Experiment

July 12th 2008 06:08
This is a great social experiment by Derren Brown, an English magician, psychological illusionist, mentalist, painter and self-professed sceptic regarding paranormal phenomena.



He recreates a psychological experiment where a person is asking a test subject for directions and a distraction of a large poster board is used to separate Derren from his subject momentarily and replace him with another person. The aim is to see if the subject recognises the switch.

Surprisingly they rarely recognise the new person. This works by first focusing the test subjects attention on the problem of finding the directions, not on Derren and how he looks, secondly the switch is performed outside of the view of the test subject. The test subject (consciously and subconsciously) assumes that the same person will emerge behind the poster board, and since not enough information has been stored in memory about Derren's looks, the test subject's mind subconsciously assumes and recreates a memory that it is the same person.
