  • Interestingly we pronounce it Varz in England and considering it's English, you miss pronounce it, just kidding by the way. I'm very interested here because what I think is happening here is that a printed word is overriding everything. There is no shift in reality here, just a simple confusion.

  • @JonChase Thanks for the comment. If people hear something that's not there--isn't that a shift in reality?

  • I'm doubtful this effect is hallucination, rather the brain is doing what it always does, which is resolve conflicting perceptions to create a consistent experience as best it can. Mistakes in memory and perception are commonplace and have nothing to do with "hypnosis" per se.

  • @ClavisRa It depends on how you define hypnosis and how you define hallucination. I think hearing something that is not there might meet some people's definition of hallucination nicely. Part of what I did in these videos was set expectations which, as a hypnotherapist, is vital. Also, many of people's problems the we hypnotherapists work on can be traced back to people's non-resourceful interpretations of their environment. The McGurk effect serves as a nice allegory for that (IMO).

  • That was pretty good but my pronunciation of 'vase' is different from your pronunciation of the word. Every time you mouthed 'v-ace' I heard 'v-ah-z'. With eyes open I saw you pronounce 'v-ah-z' and with eyes shut I heard 'b-ace'. So, to my mind, you were pronouncing two differently sounding words. When you said that you were pronouncing just one word sound, I felt a sense of acute confusion because I thought I had heard two distinctly different words.

  • I actually suspected you had switched the audio. Yet, it didnt matter. i heard whatever I listened for. That was great.

  • Cool!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

  • wow, that's too funny, it was vase all the way for me, I'm going back to video one now, hey you mention the next video, when is that :) ?

    Another great lesson Keith
