Perception: Nurdiyana Abd Halim

This document discusses different types of psychic and neurological phenomena including ESP, synesthesia, and the placebo effect. It defines ESP as involving perceiving information outside normal sensory channels, listing four main abilities: telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis. Synesthesia is described as a condition where one sense triggers experiences in another, such as associating letters with colors. The placebo effect is explained as changes in a person's health due to their beliefs rather than actual medication.

SYNAESTHESIA
a neurological condition in which stimulation of
one sense (e.g., taste) produces experiences in a
totally different sense (e.g., sight).

According to researcher Sean Day, approximately
one in 27 people has some form of synaesthesia.

The most common form, colored letters and
numbers, occurs when someone always sees a
certain color in response to a certain letter of the
alphabet or number.
SYNAESTHESIA
"I don't know what a box looks like unless it's
in front of me. I don't know what the color
green looks like. But I know what green tastes
like,"

SYNAESTHESIA
Involuntary: just happen.

Projected: often actually sees a color projected outside of the
body.

Durable and generic: the perception must be the same every time;
and you may see colors or lines or shapes in response to a certain
smell, but you would not see something complex such as a room
with people and furniture and pictures on the wall.

Memorable: often, the secondary synesthetic perception is
remembered better than the primary perception;

Emotional: the perceptions may cause emotional reactions such as
pleasurable feelings.

MIND OVER MATTER
Placebo : Any intervention (pill, injection,
operation) that resemble medical procedure
but in fact has no medical effect.

Placebo effect : Change in a person illness
(get better or worst) due to the person belief
or expectation and not because of medication.

Eg. Effect of cheap pills vs expensive pills
