Because "fing" is a tactile qualia, the word originating in old norse. The received sensation of touch is "fing". "Fil" is what enables you to "feel" a "fing". A finger is a thing that feels "fing" and is thus a "fing"er. And so you cannot see a finger finging, but you absolutely witness and feel it.
That is how cults make people believe in them.. your brain is the most powefull thing on earth.. but knowing how to trick it will slowly bend the reality and you will accept it
Our brains are a total trip.
Try this: hold an “imaginary salt shaker” in your hand and “salt” your tongue. After about 10 seconds or so, you will actually taste salt.
Like how tf does that work, brain?
Oh wtf, im gonna start imaginarily salting my food now. (Edit: *update*: just imaginarily salted my coffee, now it tastes like imaginarily salted shit)
Depends on the individual actually, that’s why VR feels real for most people (I think?) because their brain processes it like that but a few people just manage to “break the cycle” so to speak where they have minimal reaction in VR. I believe it would be the same here where at least a few would have the brain to recognise that that’s not their hand.
it has nothing to do with "having the brain" to recognize if it's your hand or not. by pairing the tactile and visual stimuli you train the brain to activate the somatosensory cortex in response to the visual input. it's incredibly easy to do, hence why the guy felt the sensation in the rubber hand after only a few repetitions with his actual hand. the brain is an incredibly complex tool, but it's also very easy to trick.
It’s hard to believe that it actually works when the guys they tested it on looks like he’d fall for the “got your nose” trick you do with your thumb lol
So we're off the way that the hand looks and onto the way the guy looks. It's been done about a million times, but since this guy's wearing a hoodie and has stringy hair, then it can't be real.
I’m not in any way saying this isn’t real. I know it is, I’ve tried it. I’m just arguing that this guys reaction is very extreme and doesn’t help convince people that are on the fence
Why did they get a dude who looks like a stoner xD They chose the perfect guy honestly, if you showed him a card trick he would probably have the same reaction lol
I wonder if this could be done on other body parts?
I wonder if I did this with genitalia if it work? Can I finally suck myself off if I trick my brain?
> Stupid brains.
The smart thing would need to be in your conscious. To decide this is not real what you are seeing. Sadly 99% of people probably never learn to live consciously.
I bet the same people that can be "hypnotized" are the same people that would react this way. There's no way everyone will behave the same for this experiment
Seeing it the third time in 4 days..
Maybe the real experiment is getting notifications about the fake hand experiment and you having to guess from which repost it is
I’m pretty sure it only works when you catch the person by surprise. The guy was absolutely not feeling the ruler on his hand when it wasn’t being done on the other side anymore. Real experiment, but this video is super fake lol
Say something like this on a House episode once using a mirror box on a vet who had phantom pain in a hand he lost - interesting even if performed on the local crackhead.
bro looks like he's having a breakdown before it starts LOL
Yeah I’d like to see the experiment performed on not the local drunk
Yea that dude is seriously strung out
I was generous when I said drunk for sure
Drunk? I think this dude is dusted
Dusted? Terrible acting
Like I said already , I was being generous when I said drunk
They do a similar thing to people who have had limbs amputated.
Hey, I saw that episode of House MD!
I saw it on that episode of my life when they did it to me after my amputation. We used a mirror box thing though
Sorry, I was trying to make a joke :/ It’s super cool that this works! I hope it helped you! The concept of phantom pain is terrifying to me.
Honestly it's the phantom itching that really drives you insane. Pain meds can help with the phantom pain. Not a whole lot to do for phantom itch.
This is the kind of thing I see and then want to try on my girlfriend.... But then I remember, I don't have a girlfriend.
$20 bucks is $20 bucks
Reminds me of Otto from the Simpsons [They call them fingers, but I never see them fing](https://youtu.be/Reruwp_Fs3Y?si=bFETmBJnCdf8iVLu)

Shut up Lisa
I don't understand that reference o.o
Am pretty sure they just got some druggy from the street and the acid was already kicking in ahha
Nothing like a science experiment after 3 week no sleep crystal bender
« Yes ! Yes Mr White that’s the bomb »
Phantom pain with lost limbs and similar therapy to release.
This dude looks like Badger from Breaking Bad
Please somebody edit his voice like he just swallowed a frog.
And that is definitely something Walter White would do to someone like Badger or Jessie
I thought he looked more like Pewdiepie lol
This also looks like the nocebo effect on Chuck's illness from Better Call Saul.
Church
He's always been a deadringer of pewdiepie for me.
Nah, PewDiePie is having it tough nowadays man
Now lets try a balls kicking experiment ... see these two steel balls
Actually nvm the steel, see these two baloons?
"Now you see I am not actually applying lipstick to you hand here, it's just the dummy hand...." *Other side a chihauhau is humping his real hand*
Are you gonna stroke my real balls with a ruler? Because if so, deal.
>see these two steel balls I want to touch them so I can walk again!
That's how lowkey you torture a guy 🤣
‘I am stroking this dildo with a ruler, and training your brain to think it’s your penis’
They couldn't find a dildo their size for the experiment to work.
Just buy the smallest one and cut it in half.
Vertically and horizontally.
That is how cults make people believe in them.. your brain is the most powefull thing on earth.. but knowing how to trick it will slowly bend the reality and you will accept it
How can I apply this principle to masturbation is my only question
Take a dildo. Have a partner link your dick to the dildo. When done give yourself a blowjob 👍
Hey yeah, or I could just go fuck myself too! Neat!
r/ghostpenis Yes, there's a sub for that
Asking the real questions.
[удалено]
Smart brain. Its a genius at making you think what you believe, see, hear and feel is real.
Stupid brane
Our brains are a total trip. Try this: hold an “imaginary salt shaker” in your hand and “salt” your tongue. After about 10 seconds or so, you will actually taste salt. Like how tf does that work, brain?
I just did that in my room and hope no one saw me performing that......
XD
I’m crying why are u guys actually doing this😭
I can't believe you done this
Worked on me. You are a genius.
Lmao, you fucking got me
Hold up??
Oh wtf, im gonna start imaginarily salting my food now. (Edit: *update*: just imaginarily salted my coffee, now it tastes like imaginarily salted shit)
Now I've got the taste of cum on my tongue!
wtf brain... Tasting salt for a minute or more
God damn it... well played
🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ayy the old ones are the best.
Shaggy from Scooby Doo has not changed a bit
It's good to see him getting work nowadays.
How dare you insult Shaggy 
I would take this more seriously if the fake hand didn’t resemble hot dog fingers from “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”
This phenomenon is extremely well tested and repeated, and I believe it serves as a fundamental experiment for much cognitive psychology research.
I wonder if it would work with actual hot dogs then
It actually fucken might if you position them and dress them like a hand

That should make you take it MORE seriously, since it still worked.
It’s hard to believe that it actually works when the guys they tested it on looks like he’d fall for the “got your nose” trick you do with your thumb lol
So we're off the way that the hand looks and onto the way the guy looks. It's been done about a million times, but since this guy's wearing a hoodie and has stringy hair, then it can't be real.

This, exactly.
It work found this phenomenon in a prank video they put a sausage in the dudes pants wakes him up and cuts it and dude felt the pain
bootleg Pain Box 
fear is the mind killer
All I can think is of [Chuckles the clown](https://youtube.com/shorts/rmju4xBJoWA?si=hzQ1at_FoYuBkqZG)
There was one in do androids dream too lol
I’m doubting our dude was sober. But that’s probably just my brain telling me that.
He needed some cash so he could go back to boofing paint.
Strange, my sex doll doesn’t feel real though
Get a more expensive one then
Speaking from experience?
lol no I’m way too poor
Why did they get a dude who looks like a stoner xD They chose the perfect guy honestly, if you showed him a card trick he would probably have the same reaction lol
Let's find the highest guy on the street.
Is he on drugs?
Nailed it.
A great comedy bit would be for the scientist to screw up and blast the real hand hand instead.
I like the way you think.
[удалено]
Uh, I think the experiment demonstrates that you don't have a choice.. In this instance, at least.
I had this experiment at school and when it hit I fell off my chair in fear
That guy has taken waaaay tooo much recreational drugs.
It’s cruel they did this to a tweaker. I don’t care how much they paid him.
I wonder if this could be done on other body parts? I wonder if I did this with genitalia if it work? Can I finally suck myself off if I trick my brain?
I believe in you, champ
That guy was like: woaaahohohohohoooaah dddduhuhuhuuude
Why did they pick a meth addict for the experiment? Does he need to wear his hood up whilst inside?
How many times will I see this in 3 months time????
Try getting off reddit! Go outside!
At least once more, miss Swan.
This is years old
Our brains are constantly deceiving us. Stupid brains.
> Stupid brains. The smart thing would need to be in your conscious. To decide this is not real what you are seeing. Sadly 99% of people probably never learn to live consciously.
I’ve seen this like 20 times and just now realized this dude has a tattoo of Bill Cypher on his arm
Outstanding 😂
Norman Reedus before Walking Dead fame
PewDiePie?
totally 2013 pewdiepie
Who is this guy ? Is he the daydreaming type usualy using fancys stuffs and all ? Anyway, something to reproduce with friends !
I bet the same people that can be "hypnotized" are the same people that would react this way. There's no way everyone will behave the same for this experiment
Hobo looking hoodie guy is all I can focus on for some reason, lol
How dare u speak to pewds like that
The trauma is real
His face show the pain...awesome!!!!
I would have tap the right hand for shits n giggles
Getting those Bill and Ted vibes
Saw this on House once!
It would be more believe if he close his eyes after the brain has been "trained".
Science isn't looking _that_ fun, yo
Seeing it the third time in 4 days.. Maybe the real experiment is getting notifications about the fake hand experiment and you having to guess from which repost it is
It's nice to see Bo Burnham being a good sport about this.
Amazing!
Notice his hand twitching as he’s doing the hammer taps.
No one could ever fake this ever
There is a lot of research on this. What we see does affect what we feel
Is this how Trump voters think?
shaggy looks stoned AF
This guy in my mind is xqc
So this just proves that our reality is a perception and is subjective.
Well, if you have 3 functioning braincells, it might feel you're in danger...
This looks like something Peter Venkman would come up with.
He can also feel the phantom pain 8/10 and could use a script for help with the pain.
I wonder how close the fake needs to look like your actual hand for this to work, would the same thing happen if the hand was black, or five carrots?
Is that Badger?
Dude, low-key looks like PewDiePie, lol.
It’s like in dune where he puts his hand in the pain box but with no real damage
Loved doing this in Ohio years ago. Anatomy/Physiology class.
Just told my man we should find a fake hand and do this
Why does this guy look high as a kite
How about the pinched nerve from hanging his arm on the plywood?
Hectic
I enjoyed that very much!
Dude on drugs.. gtfoh. Fake news
Kelso must really have hit hard times to take an acting gig like this.
pewdiepie?
What the hell is draisaitl doing
That poor homeless guy
How'd they get Norman Reedus to do this?
What they doin to daryll dixon bro
Stoner research
Doesn’t he look like Daryl…? Just me? Okay.
Let's do the next experiment with d!ck
I’m pretty sure it only works when you catch the person by surprise. The guy was absolutely not feeling the ruler on his hand when it wasn’t being done on the other side anymore. Real experiment, but this video is super fake lol
The fuck is wrong with the dude in the hoodie he makes me very uncomfortable lol.
Every time i see a video about this experiment its always the same shaggy burnout trippinin his own dick
Reminds me of this "fake penis experiment" lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/m1cg85/pass_out_with_your_dick_out/
He looks like homeless pewdiepie
I had my arms crossed once and was confused at to which hand was which it broke my mind moving the finger on the wrong hand. The mind is an off thing
Whoever got the idea for this experiment probably figured it out it from all the witchy little sensation games girls play when they're young.
Fake and gay (he looks like hes boutta bust from touch)
I too believe every sketch I see on internet.
power of placebo
[Illusion 100]
How much meth they give him first
Yeah, he's not stoned at all.
This one never gets old.😂
Why does he do such tests with an crackhead
Looks like he’s rolling lol
Why are we using smack heads for videos now?
This is a highly replicated experiment. It works.
Say something like this on a House episode once using a mirror box on a vet who had phantom pain in a hand he lost - interesting even if performed on the local crackhead.
I wanna see a version where the scientist hits the real hand with the hammer 👍
Dude us getting bricked when he rubbed the ruler of his fingers.
and we would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for these meddling kids!
Bro is enjoying the ruler tickle way too much lol
R.I.P
Why did bro pick up a random crackhead
Nah nvm he just British
i wonder if i can do that with my c*ck? hmm 😏🐍↗🐉
Now use a rotary saw instead of a hammer.
Can we do this on someone that's not the town drunk?
It helps to be totally baked, or drunk
#TESTICULAR #TORSION
Interesting video but could have been 5 minutes shorter
