Chapter 95 ASC
"Send them to hell......"
Chen Yi kept repeating this sentence to himself, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
King Jizo's ability, he naturally doesn't have it.
However, he may not be able to let people "go to hell".
It is entirely possible to achieve his goal indirectly through psychology.
Medical psychology is a large and complex sub-discipline of psychology.
His main focus is on clinical psychology, but he is not uninvolved in other branches.
For example, neuropsychology.
It is different from neurophysiology, which simply explains the physiological activities of the brain itself, and it is also different from psychology, which simply analyzes human behavior or mental activity itself.
Rather, it is to study the problems of psychology from the perspective of neuroscience.
The quantitative relationship between human perception, memory, speech, thinking, intelligence, behavior and the functional structure of the brain is established.
Based on this discipline, there are many psychologists and neurologists who have such perspectives:
"Colors exist in the brain, not in the world";
"The world we know is what our brains tell us";
"What I perceive is not the world itself, but the model of the world in my head."
If these views are correct, then is the world we see real?
Maybe not at all.
Because the brain can "lie".
A very common example of brain "lying" is "memory hallucination".
Most of the average person in life should have a similar experience.
For example, for a certain scene, a certain person, or a certain thing, I feel familiar, and I have seen and encountered it somewhere.
This is the brain's "visual memory", a trompe l'oeil phenomenon that occurs when storage is chaotic.
That is, the brain is "lying".
Someone has done research experiments on this.
Subjects in a state of brain injury and subjects in a state of brain health were observed separately to have a false perception of information about the material world, that is, "hallucinations".
In that experiment, the former, was subjected to epilepsy patients.
Brain dysregulation is the root cause of seizures or spasticity, in which the neuro-brain electrical activity of a large number of nerve cells sometimes gets out of control.
Usually the activity of a particular brain region spreads from a small damaged brain area to other brain regions.
In experiments, epilepsy is a state of brain damage.
Patients do not need external influence, and many patients begin to have strange experiences called "premonitions" before the onset of a seizure.
They know quickly and accurately what their hunch is, and when it starts, they know that a seizure is coming.
The accuracy of this experience varies from person to person.
Someone smells something, someone might hear a noise.
This sensory experience is related to the location of the seizure in the brain.
The end result was that a portion of the patients were found to have seizures in the visual cortex and experienced complex visual hallucinations.
A small number of episodes occur in the auditory cortex and hear a variety of sounds, such as singing, music, human voices, and most likely those heard in the past.
There is also a part of it, a complex experience of reliving the past.
One of the subjects observed in the experiment was a little girl.
She had her first seizure at the age of 11.
With each seizure, she "transforms" into a 7-year-old girl who is walking on a meadow when suddenly, it feels as if someone is hitting her head from behind and trying to strangle her, which terrifies her.
And this scene is what happened to her when she was 7 years old.
But it became a vision of her "personal experience" when her illness occurred.
This part of the experiment came to a clear conclusion that brain damage can cause people to hallucinate.
The latter, in the state of brain soundness, is mainly through some drugs, which make people hallucinate.
This kind of example is actually not uncommon, and there is no need to say more.
Chen also knew that there were some unsavory experiments that used strong electrical stimulation and certain drugs that would cause irreversible damage to people to cause some kind of intense and real hallucinations.
Anyway, the conclusion is that the brain can "lie".
The "lie" told by the brain is, in many cases, an "illusion" of the person.
This kind of illusion is not only "seeing", but also "hearing", "touching", or even simply falling into an illusory world.
It is a complex model of the world that the brain constructs based on people's past cognition.
Chen also wants people to "go to hell", and he doesn't need to be able to open the real gates of hell.
All you need to do is make your brain "lie".
By stimulating the appropriate areas of the brain, people can have a wrong perception of the physical world, causing the brain to "lie".
This is the glimmer of inspiration that Chen Yi grasped.
It's just easier said than done, but it's almost impossible to make a person's brain "lie" and make the person believe that he is in "hell".
On the premise of not using external objects, there are still some psychologists and hypnotists who can make people hallucinate, artificially create a specific hallucination, and make people feel a specific experience, such as directly feeling sadness, fear, and other emotions, or even making people return to a specific scene they have experienced.
It's not much, though.
However, if you want to create an illusory scene that is like the real world but has never been experienced, Chen Yi has not heard of anyone in the present life who can do it.
However, there is a lot of research on this in the academic community.
For example, mythology.
Mythology, most of the time, is seen as a product of the human imagination.
Chen Yi knows that since the beginning of the last century, many scholars have gradually biased the theory of mythology towards the study of human spirituality and psychology.
There is a phenomenon that is interesting about mythology.
In the myths of the various peoples of the world, the faces of the mythical heroes vary greatly, but the stories of these heroes are strikingly similar.
Many speculations have arisen from this, and some people believe that this phenomenon is related to human "illusions".
Based on this speculation, many questions arise.
Something like: "What is the secret of this eternal illusion?" Where does this illusion originate in the depths of the mind? Why is it that under the multiplicity of costumes, the myth is the same everywhere? ”
In order to illustrate this speculation, some people have proposed a neuropsychological model called "consciousness metamorphosis", or ASC for short, using a certain religion as the subject of experiments.
This refers to a state of trance in which the religion that is the subject of the investigation is engaged in a ritual of communicating with the gods.
In their "channeling methods" passed down from generation to generation, through some external stimuli, special means passed down from generation to generation, or drugs, etc., people's consciousness can be in a changed abnormal state, and some real visual scenes can be produced.
It is the so-called "consciousness perversion".
In specific experiments, this effect is achieved through many means and methods such as electrical stimulation, flickering, drugs, excessive fatigue, sensory deprivation, concentration, manipulation of hearing, hyperventilation, rhythmic movement, etc.
As a result of the experiment, the "metamorphosis" model was divided into three stages according to the degree of metamorphosis of consciousness.
The first stage is the most shallow, and one can see various geometric images such as points, zigzags, lattices, groups of equal lines, ovarian curves, and rotational curves, which are called "introspectic phenomena".
In the second stage, the subjective consciousness associates these geometric images with concrete objects that are cognitively relevant to the person.
For example, for a person, when he is thirsty, he may have a cup in front of his eyes, and when he is afraid, there will be an image that makes him fearful, and a zigzag pattern may become a snake.
The third stage is the stage where the hallucinations are deepest.
The people who were the subjects of the experiment described a specific scene.
They went through a whirlpool or a tunnel with a bright light at the end of the tunnel.
Checkered patterns will also appear on the inner surface of the vortex, and images of people, animals, monsters, half-humans, half-beasts, and other images related to their subjective consciousness or cultural background will appear in different intervals of the grid.
When these visions emerge, people will find themselves in a strange world.
Humans and monsters have become clearer and more real with the passage of time.
The geometric pattern is still there, but it has been scattered to the edges.
They feel like they can fly or they have become some kind of bird.
This description, the people, animals, monsters, half-humans, half-beasts, etc., that appear in it, are very consistent with this religion, as well as the many relics left around the world, such as murals, tattoos, utensils, etc., on which the patterns of faith and mythology are very consistent.
Therefore, they believe that myths may be similar illusions produced by human beings under various similar conditions.
Concrete experiments and arguments, of course, will not be as simple as that.
In the end, Chen Yi did not agree with the experimental conclusions, especially after crossing over......
But the "psychiatric" method of the religion mentioned in the course of the experiment, that is, "consciousness metamorphosis", is of great interest to many psychologists and hypnotists, including himself.
This is actually a very clever hypnotic method.
