- This is an experiment with negative visual hallucinations. A positive
- visual hallucination is seeing something which isn't there. I've
- experimented with both.
-
- I've never had a case of visual negative hallucination similar to the
- case described (.i.e. able to see something hidden behind the Invisible
- man :-)
-
- I have hypnotised a suitably deep subject and "removed" an object from
- the visual field (e.g. subject doesn't see a stool in front of them).
- If you then ask them to walk across the room, they should trip over the
- stool. Invariably, they step around or over the stool. This is not a
- test I routinely do :-) since I think making a person fall on their
- face is a rude way to bring them out of hypnosis; consequently this may
- be a case of proof by selected instances.
