Psychological Experiment - the human brain

[maplman]

This is a psychological experiment... It wont work if you don't follow the instructions correctly.

1. Keep hitting your head softly with your hands forming a fist. (softly) like knocking on your head.

2. Repeat the letters "T" and "M" while following instruction number 1.


Reply back with careful explanations of what happened when you followed the instructions. It's freaking amazing!

Spoiler

if it doesn't work for you then it means that you are really stressed out

 

[Sir]

Nothing really happened for me, and moved to Psychology section.

I don't understand what is supposed to happen.
It just made it harder for me to concentrate on breathing.

 

[maplman]

Okay... The letters T and M make the the sound "empty".

 

[ttomthebomb]

Wouldn't you have to start with M and then T? Also, I guess it works but what is the point?
Easily this can be done without hitting my self in the head.

No, after you say T for the first time you will begin saying MT.
The point is that when you're hitting your head, you wouldn't notice or think about it.

I don't see how this is psychology. This is more the way we pronounce things.

 

[krazedkat]

M - T
Empty
that has nothing to do with psychology, as mentioned above. It's simple pronounciation!

M - T

The point is that nobody notices until they read the thread.
The words are reversed so we don't notice when we first read them, and we're hitting our head so we don't notice when we're saying it.

 

[Oui.]

I didn't understand the point so I kept saying T-M without hitting my head and did not form the word "empty". Main reason is that when I pronounce 'T' I extend the 'ee' so it is 'Teeeee' unlike when I say Empty, the 'e' is said for a split second as I speak fast. Pronunciation - not psychology.

You extending the pronunciation has nothing to do with the point of it.
He didn't tell you to drag the letters out, did he?

No he didn't as it is the general way of pronouncing 'T' in english.
T [ti:]
Empty [empti]

Just as there is a difference between 'keep' and 'sit'. Keep uses i: while the i in sit is just i.

No he didn't as it is the general way of pronouncing 'T' in english.

There is a difference between keep and sit, because keep uses a long sound.

Good. That is also how the i is used in "T" in english. It is a long sound.
The test is not about psychology rather than language.

No, it's not about language, except in your case.
The point is that your too stressed about the test (the way it is carried out), you won't notice the point of it.

 

[Sir]

This is Psychology, it has to do with Stress and the Mind, it just involves pronunciation to do the test.
