OPTICAL ILLUSIONS (and why we see ghosts)
[object Object],The following mental experiments have been collated by Professor Vittorio Premuda of the Altman Institute. He is a world renowned neurologist - and what he wants to show you may seem quite disturbing. “ I have collected many famous experiments and assembled them here to help you to realize that what you are sure is the rational world - may in fact not be. Every day you take for granted that what you see with your own eyes is the truth and reality - well in fact it may not be. Through simple demonstration I will show you that for good reason you should not trust in what you see - but you must look deeper.” Press SPACE to advance through the slides>>

Experiment 10 ,[object Object],[object Object]
*         Follow the instruction below.  *         1) Stare  at the 4 little dots on the middle of the picture for 30 seconds   *         2) then look at a wall near you  *         3) a bright spot will appear  *         4) twinkle a few times and you‘ll see a figure  *         5) What do you see? Or even WHO do you see?
[object Object],“ In this series of short experiments I hope to have demonstrated that the mind is a complex object. People see what they want to see, and interpret the world as they wish to see it. You may have seen moving shapes in static images, dots that change colour, ghosts that do not exits and even a “religious” experience. I would suggest that following these experiments you visit the site http://www.thesleepofreason.com Take with you these experiences and then use your rationality to determine if what you see there is what it seems to be… I think you will see the evidence with new eyes.” Prof. V. Premuda Altmaninstitute.com
