About a famous psychological experiment

For a long time, people thought that spirit was naturally produced by the brain. In order to answer that human spirit is different from animals, we must find the essential difference between human brain and animals. Many scientists have been trying to find evidence all their lives, but later scientific research has proved that many of these evidences are wrong.

The average weight of the human brain is about 1,3g, but it doesn't explain any problems. Animals with larger bodies have larger brains, such as elephants' brains weighing about 4,g and whales' brains weighing about 7,g. Later, people invented the method of using the ratio of brain capacity to body weight to explain the source of mental production, but it turns out that this method is not feasible, just look at the data. People are 1: 38, whales are 1: 25, elephants are about 1: 5, and orangutans are about 1: 1. It seems that people have a greater advantage. However, mice are 1: 26, gibbons are 1: 28, and sparrows are 1: 34, all of which are much better than people, but they have never produced spirits.

With the further development of human brain science, it seems that human beings have finally discovered the source of spirit, that is, there are many brain sulcus, so the spirit keeps flowing out like a clear spring in a ravine. The surface area of the left and right hemispheres of human brain is about 225 square centimeters, which is equivalent to the size of a newspaper with four pages and eight pages, while the brain surfaces of mice and rabbits are relatively flat, which seems quite reasonable! However, it didn't take long for scientists to inadvertently find that the brain gyrus of dolphins in the ocean is no less than that of humans, even more than that of humans. If we judge the degree of spiritual richness only by the number of brain gyrus, we believe that the result must not be human, but < P > an unexpected animal.

Some people think that human brain cells are more than those of other animals, so human beings can produce spirit.

unfortunately, this is not the case. If we take the number of brain cells of .1 cubic millimeter as the benchmark for comparison, people will find that human beings are 1.5, whales are 6.8, cats are 3.8, and mice are 15.. The smaller the animal, the greater the density of brain cells.

Evolutionary biologists have pointed out that the frontal lobe of human beings is much larger than that of primates, which is the root of our creative thinking and language ability. However, scholars at the University of Iowa in the United States believe that there is no significant difference in the size of the frontal lobe of human brain compared with other primates. Marcio and Shermandy Ferry of the University of Iowa scanned the images of some primates, including humans, and then measured the size of each part of the brain. As a result, they found that the frontal lobe of the human brain was not obviously different from that of primates, with the frontal lobe of gorillas accounting for 31.7% of the brain, chimpanzees accounting for 36.1% and humans accounting for 36.8%. Chimpanzees are 5.4 percentage points higher than gorillas, but they are not much smarter than gorillas, on the contrary. Humans are only .7 percentage points higher than chimpanzees, but humans are much smarter than chimpanzees. Therefore, the size of the frontal lobe does not explain anything.

Scientific discovery shows that the brain is a natural information processing system. Compared with other animals, the physiological mechanism of human consciousness is only complicated, but there is no essential difference. It is a very common bioelectric process and biochemical process.

A strange baby was born in a hospital in Virginia, USA. When the baby was born, the whole brain was just a cyst filled with water. This is an out-and-out brainless baby. The doctor once asserted that this brainless baby will never have any thinking activities and will never laugh. It is lucky to survive for a few weeks. But it turns out that the doctor was wrong. The baby has some human-like consciousness. He likes watching TV and giggles with the plot of interesting TV programs. He lived for five years. Excuse me, where did this baby's consciousness come from?

we can't say it comes from water!

Modern science has proved that the brain will die completely in a few minutes without oxygen. In the former East Germany, there was an experiment. Doctors cut off a head that was broken in a car accident, but its head was intact. The head that left the body survived for 146 hours without oxygen. During this period, electronic instruments kept tracking the electronic signals sent by the head. Within 76 hours, the head was very normal and could communicate with people by blinking. After that, it gradually declined. After 146 hours, the EEG disappeared. This is an example of the existence of unconventional consciousness, and it is difficult for us to explain it with all the knowledge of modern brain science.

There is a student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Sheffield in the north of England. His IQ has always been high, and he has been excellent in all previous exams, which is deeply loved by his classmates and teachers. Later, in a physical examination, John DangerCode, a neurologist at the University of Sheffield; When Professor Robb did a CT scan for him, he was surprised to find that the student with high IQ had no brain. His cerebral cortex was only a few millimeters thick, while that of normal people was 4.5 millimeters. Under his cortex was brain fluid. The professor was amazed. He didn't know where the student's high IQ came from.

In modern life, due to the increasingly mature technology of extracranial gynogenesis, more and more people have been cut off and survived. There was a patient in Kunming who had half his brain removed due to illness in 196, but he was basically the same as a normal person. After he joined the work in 1973, he was basically competent.

All the evidence seems to prove that the spiritual phenomenon of human beings is probably not necessarily related to the body, and the spirit is an independent living body. If this argument can hold water, then all the arguments about the soul in the early days of human beings should be reconsidered.

American psychologists conducted the following psychological experiment: the doctor took a subject to an empty room, and at this time, there were screams from the next room. The doctor told the subject: this experiment is mainly to test the limit of human ability to endure pain. Then he opened the partition window and let the subject see the whole process of the experiment. I saw a man tied to a chair by a prison, and the charcoal fire in the nearby furnace was burning red. A doctor took a red-hot coin out of the furnace with a poker, and then put it on the tied man's arm, only to hear a light sound of "stabbing", and his arm was burned with a wisp of light smoke, and then there was a piercing scream. At the end of the experiment, the person sitting in the chair < P > stumbled down, holding the burned arm, and a burnt scar the size of a coin suddenly appeared on the arm.

The doctor asked the subject to watch several identical experiments in succession, then took the subject to the laboratory and tied him firmly to the chair. Then, I took an equally red-hot coin out of the furnace and said, "I'm going to put this coin on your arm now." The subject suddenly felt a hot object fall on his arm, and then felt a pain that pierced his heart, and could not help but scream loudly. Doctors found that a third-degree burn scars the size of a coin appeared on the subject's arm.

In fact, all the experiments are fake, burns and screams are all fake, and there is only one real subject, that is, the last subject. The coin that really fell on the subject's arm was only slightly warmed up, slightly higher than the body temperature, and it was impossible to cause burns. So where did this third-degree burn scar come from

? Because there is no external factor, we can only think that it is the spirit-consciousness that burns the body, because the spirit-consciousness thinks that the body should burn under such circumstances, so it really burns. In this experiment, we can rule out the possibility that the body burns itself, because the body can only react passively to external stimuli.

This experiment proves that the spirit has absolute control over the body, which can make the body make unimaginable reactions under certain circumstances. The body is just a slave of the spirit, or a tool.

This conclusion of scientific experiments is similar to various religious views on the soul. For example, Taoism believes that the human body is just a furnace for cultivation, and people can use this furnace to refine their "three treasures" and finally achieve the goal of spiritual evolution. Buddhism also believes that "Buddha nature" can dominate the body.

American magazine Biopsychology once published an example of psychological experiment by psychologist Crater, which originated from a legal lawsuit of a death.

In an American university, several college students played a practical joke: one night, they used a cloth bag to put a friend into the bag without knowing it. A few people didn't say anything. They lifted the bag and went to a railway station. They chose a railway that had long been abandoned, put the poor friend on it horizontally, and then several people squatted aside and watched jokes. At this time, there was a "rumbling" sound of the train leaving the station not far away, and the earth was shaking gently. I saw my friend lying across the railway began to struggle. Of course, he didn't know that the railway he was lying on had been abandoned, and the coming train would pass by the railway beside him. As the locomotive approached, several mischievous college students found that when the train was nearly 1 meters away from this friend, the poor companion stood still. The rumbling locomotive drove forward with a harsh metal crash.

However, when the locomotive passed, when the pranksters came to their friends, they found that they had made a big disaster

-their friends had died.

In the subsequent autopsy, the forensic doctor did not find any traces of internal organ damage. So, how did this man die? Did he kill or commit suicide? How should the law convict? This case became a topic of discussion for a while.

Psychologists didn't take part in the boring discussion. They did a series of psychological experiments to try to solve this mystery. Among many psychological experiments, one is the psychological experiment made by Crater. The experiment is like this: < P > They put a mouse in a huge pool to observe the behavior of the mouse in a dangerous situation. As we all know, rats generally have strong swimming ability. Although the pool selected by psychologists is large, it is still within the swimming ability of mice. As soon as the mouse fell into the water, it didn't swim on the horse < P >, but made squeaking noises in circles. It was measuring the position. The moustache of the mouse was an orientation detector. After its cry reached the edge of the pool, the sound wave reflected back and was detected by the moustache, so as to determine the size, orientation and distance of the target. After screaming for several turns, the mouse swam in a selected direction, and soon it swam to the shore. This is the case in several experiments.

The psychologist chose another mouse. This time, they cut off all the moustaches of the mouse and put it in the center of the pool. I saw this little mouse squeaking in circles, but because the mouse had to be cut, it could not determine its position. It continued to turn and scream anxiously, but there was still nothing it could do. Soon the little white mouse sank to the bottom and drowned.

The psychologist explained the death of the white mouse as follows: because the white mouse's beard was cut, it could not accurately determine its position. In its brain, there was water everywhere, and it thought it could not swim out anyway. In this case, the mouse stopped all efforts and ended his life by force. In fact, the mouse died before sinking into the water, and it killed itself.

Psychologists finally come to the conclusion that all animals will forcibly terminate their lives under the premise that their lives are completely hopeless, which is called "suicidal thoughts". When the man on the railway heard the train rumbling and approaching, and the tracks under him trembled slightly, he struggled to escape from the danger, but he was wrapped in a bag and tied tightly. He knew that

Tao could not "escape". In order to avoid being dismembered by the train, he ended his life as early as the train was nearly 1 meters away from him. So, he committed suicide.

So, what is the mechanism of his suicide? In this example, we once again see the role of spiritual life independent of the body. In fact, there are too many examples about this argument. In the psychological experiment of deep hypnosis, we are often puzzled by some incomprehensible phenomena, such as the increase of blood sugar concentration for no reason. These experiments all point to a conclusion, that is, spirit is independent of body, and spirit can dominate body.

ancient religious beliefs hold this view, strict traditional Chinese medicine holds this view, Taoist theory with scientific color holds this view, and modern scientific experiments have proved this view. This series of clues makes us firmly believe that this conclusion is correct.

In fact, there are a lot of examples in the development of human science to prove our point of view, but these experiments have not been paid attention to before:

In p>1934, in New Delhi, the capital of India, several psychologists tried to do a bizarre psychological experiment, but the subjects were hard to find. After many twists and turns, they found a criminal who was about to be executed with the help of the police station and the court.

One day, the police took the criminal to a laboratory and said to him, Because you have committed a heinous crime, you have decided to bleed to death. Then, people tied the criminals to the bed, put their arms out of the bed and fixed them, and separated the criminals' eyes.

A doctor put a bright scalpel in front of the criminal and said, I'll cut your artery with this knife. As he spoke, he made a slight stroke on the artery with a sharp scalpel. Because of the slight injury, a little blood solidified itself soon after it flowed out. But the psychologist placed a metal basin with good echo in the lower part of the arm, and then dripped the water into the basin with a drip. The water drops hit the metal basin and made a ticking sound. It was quiet all around, and everyone held their breath and carefully observed the criminal's expression. Several psychologists disguised as doctors occasionally say a few words. I'll say later: it's already 3 ml. After a while, he said softly: It's almost half a basin. As the sound of ticking and ticking continued, the criminal's face turned pale, as if he had really lost his color. After a while, the criminal's breathing became weak, and finally the criminal died pale.

After the experiment, psychologists were puzzled: How did the criminal die? Did he kill himself or commit suicide?

Modern psychotherapy often leads to some strange life phenomena. Let's look at two real psychological experiments.

In a hypnotic psychological test, the doctor picked up a cup of boiled water at random, and then said to the subjects: This is a cup of water with a lot of sugar, which is very sweet. You will be very comfortable after drinking it. The subject drank this cup of boiled water under deep hypnosis. As we all know, when we drink a drink with a lot of sugar, sugar will be automatically absorbed into the blood by the stomach, increasing the blood sugar concentration in the blood. Strangely, when the subject drank this cup of boiled water, he was immediately awakened, and then blood was drawn to check the blood sugar concentration of the subject. The result was unexpected. Under the condition that the stomach and intestines didn't absorb sugar, the blood sugar concentration of the subjects actually increased a lot compared with that before the subjects, which is true.
