Materializing Mind Control

Derren Brown, talented practician of "psychology, misdirection, ambiguity, deception, suggestion", sometimes seems to use light hypnosis, thought stopping, trance and rapid induction techniques. On-the-fly on any unwary pedestrian? Here, we have one who becomes mind-paralyzed twice, despite being aware that something is wrong. But it's like local anesthesia - Mr. Brown momentarily knocks out selected attention, realization and judgement abilities. So after giving away watch, mobile phone and keyring the person under trance walks home. For his consciousness and perception it appears to be just alright.

Not so with the lady who in a flash found herself stunned and virtually pinned to the middle of a road she was about to cross. Unsettling car horns and wondering pedestrians didn't release her, Brown had to return. By touching shoulder and arm (hypnotists also use neck and head), Brown breaks the barriers of usually free personal space and surprises, achieving strong, instant, hypnotic effects. Which can be undertaken more virtual, as with auditory NLP, subconscious suggestions and subliminals. And this in turn also via unconventional, technologically augmented perception paths, eg. frequency following response effects, silent sound and other psychophysical transmissions.

The synthetelepa channel autoplaying playlist walks through underdocumented phenomena and effects of non-conventional information transfer to and from the mind, touching conceptual frameworks, research, technologies, techniques and applications.
