Experiment - for what it's worth

Then you're supposed to imagine that you're tickling them with a feather. That's what they mean, I think, by "clicking" attention/function forward.
I don't get much of any result from this; I wondered if anyone else did.

I have to say, in all the studies that I was required to read in graduate school, I had never heard of "tickling the amygdala" before. It makes me think of visual imagery of the pleasure centers of the brain....FWIW.

I don't know yet... but it feels like it's too big for me to lift all by myself. I'm gonna need a whole group of big men to hold it in place while I make the welds... maybe it's an ark?? It feels like boat... a house boat maybe... I keep seeing these inch thick sheets of steel that need to be precisely shaped; molded and stretched and then joined together with a permanent "seam"...
Maybe a giant Mad Hatter teacup out of steel. Sorta Claes Oldenberg... he's a sculptor who's done things like this. Sorta whimsical... sort of a visual "why not"?
Meh:
A visual Why Not!?-----I love that!!!!

You know what's weird, Boat? (about me...)
is that I get more of a pleasurable tingle... a faint, wry smile on my face more from contemplating an oversize steel teacup (and a whole painting composition to illustrate the phrase "ass over teacup") than I do, visualizing that stupid feather tickling my brain.
Visual why nots... have been fun things for me. The old painting I did that I miss the most was titled: The Sound of one Flip Flopping...
sKePTiKal:
Well, tt - I'm not sure how seriously "science" takes this, either. I am still rather skeptical. Try it and see if you notice any "cause & effect"... let me know. I'm almost afraid that this might be one of those experiments, where the subjects reported results, simply to please the folks who came up with this and wanted to test it. That's one type of suggestibility... I think.
