Me, Myself and My Stranger: Understanding the Neuroscience of Selfhood. Where are you right now? Maybe you are at home, the office or a coffee shop—but such responses provide only a partial answer to the question at hand. Asked another way, what is the location of your "self" as you read this sentence? Like most people, you probably have a strong sense that your conscious self is housed within your physical body, regardless of your surroundings.
But sometimes this spatial self-location goes awry. A new paper offers examples of rare bodily illusions that are not confined to a single limb, nor are they complete out-of-body experiences—they are somewhere in between. "These reports could be interesting for us to better understand how the brain produces ownership of the entire body—a sense that we have a body in the first place," says Henrik Ehrsson, a neuroscientist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden who was not involved in the new study. Patient 1 was a 55-year-old man who had suffered from epilepsy since he was 14 years old.
Mental Health Matters | Mental Health Information and Resources. The Single Most Effective Method for Influencing People Fast. Works like magic: a little-known influence technique that out-guns the usual suspects. Influence techniques vary considerably in how effective, ethical and easy to perform they are. At the easy, more ethical end of the spectrum, is affirming someone’s right to choose. This is a benign strategy which happens to have the handy side-effect of increasing persuasion. But what if you are looking to use a little more effort to get a lot more persuasion-power? Then perhaps the disrupt-then-reframe (DTR) technique is for you. A word of warning, though: the DTR technique is more of a cheap (but very effective) trick which some might find morally questionable.
OK, with the health warning over, here’s what they did in the original study which kicked off this whole line of research. $3 versus 300 pennies Davis and Knowles (1999) demonstrated the DTR technique by selling note cards door-to-door for a local charity. In the ‘normal’ condition they told people it was $3 for 8 cards. Surprisingly powerful. 10 Psychological Effects of Nonsexual Touch. A simple (nonsexual) touch can increase compliance, helping behaviour, attraction, and signal power. To get around in the world, we mainly rely on our eyes and ears. Touch is a sense that’s often forgotten.
But touch is also vital in the way we understand and experience the world. Even the lightest touch on the upper arm can influence the way we think. To prove it, here are 10 psychological effects which show just how powerful nonsexual touch can be. 1. A well-timed touch can encourage other people to return a lost item. In one experiment, users of a phone booth who were touched were more likely to return a lost dime to an experimenter (Kleinke, 1977).
The action was no more than a light touch on the arm. People will do more than that though; people will give a bigger tip to a waitress who has touched them (Crusco & Wetzel, 1984). (Stop giggling at the back there!) 2. People are also more likely to provide help when touched. The percentage of people who helped went up from 63% to 90%. 3. 4. 5. 6. A.J.
