The God Helmet

Found an interesting article on ‘Mysterious Universe’ that provides some food for thought:

Quote:

“At the recent Lowlands 3-day musical festival, 193 volunteers wore the faux God helmet while blindfolded and 

listening to white noise in headphones. They were instructed to click on a mouse when having any kind of 

unusual experience. In the review afterwards, participants who clicked said they felt they were floating, heard 

voices and saw visions, as well has having less interesting sensations of itching, dizziness or heart palpitations.”

"To avoid that, Dutch scientists from the University of Amsterdam decided to use a placebo God Helmet (a skate helmet with wires attached to a lighted box that did nothing) and look for signs to identify what types of people are most susceptible to the powers of the God helmet – real or placebo ..."

That really doesn't make much sense. They used a placebo helmet to tell them who was most susceptible to the helmet - real or placebo?

To be really honest, I didn’t quite understand that part myself.

Slight problem.  Effect could be simply ganzfeld and nothing to do with electromagnetic stimulation.
