Imagination Changing What We Hear and See

A study of the expression of the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden that what we imagine the mind that can affect the way we experience the world. our perception of real change when we imagine 'hear' or 'see' something in our minds. The journal Current Biology, highlights the classical question in psychology and neurology how our brain combines information from different senses.

Christopher Berger, a doctoral student in the Department of Neuroscience and lead author of the study, said, "We often think about the things we think and the things that we think clearly as an integral, " This study shows that our imagination in sound or form able to change the way we see the world around us in a way that is completely the same as hearing or seeing shapes. According to their research, that our imagination about 'hearing' could change what we saw, and our imagination about the 'look' can really change what we hear".

It is a study of a series of experiments using sensory illusion in which information from one side to alter or distort a person's perception of other senses. And ninety-six volunteers to fully participate in this event.

The participants in the first experiment, experience the illusion that the two objects are berpas almost collided, instead of passing each other one-another, because they imagine the sounds of the two objects collide.

While in the second experiment, participants spatial perception in noise that is biased towards the place when they imagine to 'see' a flash of white circles.

And on the third attempt, their perception of what someone says to change after they envisage a certain sound.

From this research, the scientists concluded that, in order to understand the mechanisms that generally occurs in certain psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, in which the brain fails to distinguish between the mind and reality. For use in other fields are also the subject of research on brain computer interface, where a paralyzed person's imagination can be used to control the virtual devices and artificial.

In this study Professor Henrik Ehrsson explained to investigators that: "This is the first set of experiments to definitively establish that sensory signals generated by one's imagination is powerful enough to change one's perception of the real world from different sensory modalities,"
