Klecksography is the art of making images from inkblots (German Tinten-Klecks). [1] The work was pioneered by Justinus Kerner , who included klecksographs in his books of poetry. [ 2 ] Since the 1890s, psychologists have used it as a tool for studying the subconscious, most famously Hermann Rorschach in his Rorschach inkblot test .
Psychoacoustics is the branch of psychophysics involving the scientific study of the perception of sound by the human auditory system.It is the branch of science studying the psychological responses associated with sound including noise, speech, and music.
The Bennett pinch showing the total current (I) versus the number of particles per unit length (N). The chart illustrates four physically distinct regions. The plasma temperature is 20 K, the mean particle mass 3×10 −27 kg, and ΔW Bz is the excess magnetic energy per unit length due to the axial magnetic field B z. The plasma is assumed to ...
A simple experiment to demonstrate the ideomotor effect is to allow a hand-held pendulum to hover over a sheet of paper. The paper has words such as "yes", "no", and "maybe" printed on it. Small movements in the hand, in response to questions, can cause the pendulum to move towards the words on the paper.
The reverse correlation technique is a data driven study method used primarily in psychological and neurophysiological research. [1] This method earned its name from its origins in neurophysiology, where cross-correlations between white noise stimuli and sparsely occurring neuronal spikes could be computed quicker when only computing it for segments preceding the spikes.
The first image is bright and photographic, levels 2 through 4 show increasingly simpler and more faded images, and the last—representing complete aphantasia—shows no image at all. Aphantasia ( / ˌ eɪ f æ n ˈ t eɪ ʒ ə / AY -fan- TAY -zhə , / ˌ æ f æ n ˈ t eɪ ʒ ə / AF -an- TAY -zhə ) is the inability to visualize.
The previously mentioned and numerous related studies have led to a relative consensus within cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy on the neural status of mental images. In general, researchers agree that, while there is no homunculus inside the head viewing these mental images, our brains do form and maintain mental ...
