A striking experiment with rubber languages

What if scientists found a way to pat a foreign language and thus make you feel that the language pat you?

Scientists in a terrible burst of inspiration found a way to make some people hallucinate, someone stroking a finger of their language. The horror began with the fact that the participants in the experiment, scientists asked to push their language into the hole in the box. Box reflected in a mirror, so that it seemed as if another language, made of rubber, was inserted into the same box. The participants could see only a rubber tongue. The researchers then stroked both languages ​​with a damp cotton swab, and after some time, the participants began to feel that an artificial language was associated with their body.

They felt it so much that 40% of them continued to feel like someone stroking their language, but nobody did. They felt a touch each time the scientists touched the rubber tongue.

Then researchers began to make even more terrible things with a rubber tongue. For a start, they sent him a laser. Participants felt the heat in their own languages ​​when watched as scientists slowly roasted fake. When participants saw how the rubber tongue touched with a cotton swab dipped in lemon juice, they felt a sour taste. This is despite the fact that the languages ​​of participants applied cotton swabs soaked with water.

Finally, just for fun, the researchers postponed lasers and cotton swabs and took up the scissors. This exhausted the patience of participants, and they decided to get rid of the boxes, and scientists experiment, proving that mindless adherence to authority has its limits.
