the article uses an exaple where one person sees something, say, a certain face in a texture ort something, and other people see it cause they're told it's there.
if i remember the file description right, it's supposed to make the listener emit brain waves strong enough to alter other people's perception.
if that'd work, it'd be hard to do so.

You can't send out brainwaves... that is just silly.
Whoever made this is being silly.
In most cases, mass hallucination refers to a combination of suggestion and pareidolia, wherein one person will see, or pretend to see, something unusual (like the face of Jesus in the burn-marks on a tortilla, or the face of a kidnapped girl on a blank billboard) and point it out to other people. Having been told what to look for, those other people will consciously or subconsciously convince themselves to recognize the apparition, and will in turn point it out to others.
In other cases, such as when separate people or separate groups of people who are not in contact with each other all experience the same phenomenon simultaneously, the explanation of mass hallucination can be just as "paranormal" as the phenomenon it's being used to dismiss.

:twisted: Why can't you send out brainwaves? Brainwaves do go beyond the body, otherwise scientists wouldn't be able to measure them with electrodes just stuck on the skin. :twisted:

Because brainwaves are related to electrical impulses in the body AKA what the brain emits to send info from nerve to nerve. Brainwaves aren't actual waves of energy or anything of that sort, they're a measurement of activity in the brain based on e ectrical activity in the brain.

It cannot be denied that we have brainwaves. Yes science shows us that mental states reflect our emotions. But the idea that these brainwaves go beyond the brain is just absurd.

So lets pretend for a second that telepathy is possible? How does it work? How do we interpret the brainwaves of other people? How is a human fully equiped to measure brainwaves? The list of questions just goes on.

And now for a second lets pretend that telepathy isn't possible. Anyone claiming mind reading powers is merely a good guesser and a conman. Ladies and gents, it is this that makes the most sense.

But wait, maybe i'll be told that just because it is improbable dosen't lead to imposible. Well at least we can admit the improbability of the whole situation. There's as much chance as going outside, being hit on the head with a brick and waking up with phsycic powers.

Now please help reaffirm my belief that there is at least a shread of intellectuality on this site by NOT voting for such a waste of time. I'm sure Mallic will agree on this, and so will everworlder. Loony28 is truly loony.
