Sí, es alucinante y aun más que un pensamiento profundo lo es un pensamiento consciente.

Este artículo no tiene desperdicio:

Un extracto:
[The patient] happened to be a schizophrenic homosexual who wanted to change his sexual preference. As an experiment, Heath gave the man stag films to watch while he pushed his pleasure-center hotline, and the result was a new interest in female companionship. After clearing things with the state attorney general, the enterprising Tulane doctors went out and hired a “lady of the evening,” as Heath delicately puts it, for their ardent patient.

“We paid her fifty dollars,” Heath recalls. “I told her it might be a little weird, but the room would be completely blacked out with curtains. In the next room we had the instruments for recording his brain waves, and he had enough lead wire running into the electrodes in his brain so he could move around freely. We stimulated him a few times, the young lady was cooperative, and it was a very successful experience.” This conversion was only temporary, however.

Se están haciendo avances sorprendentes en estas áreas. Había otro que no consigo encontrar ahora y que explicaba cómo estimulando algunas áreas del cerebro se conseguía que la gente en el estudio levantara un brazo o se levantaran ellos, cuando se les preguntaba que por qué lo habían hecho decían que porque habían querido y algunos incluso daban alguna explicación más elaborada.
