This weekend I wrote about a fun social experiment I tried on my poor unsuspecting husband.  He fell asleep while resting in the sun and I wanted to see if I could lie to his subconscious brain.  I told him after he slept for maybe 5 or 6 minutes that he was out for an hour.

Was my lie successful? Did his subconscious brain know better or not?

What do you think?  Can you someone lie to you and fool your subconscious brain?

Fun Social Experiment

Today my husband and I had a bunch of fall chores to do, but with the sun shining bright, we decided to take a few minutes off to sit in the sun. It’s a real joy to feel the last warm rays of the season as it won’t be long until the snow flies.

I have recently been fascinated with exploring the subconscious mind because I believe much of what I know has come from deep within me–not my conscious thoughts–but rather my unconscious or subconscious brain.  I believe it powers us more than any of us ever realize, and recently Dr. David Eagleman, a cool neuroscientist, explained as much on The Brain, a series on PBS.

So as my husband and I relaxed in the sun today, we both became quiet and closed our eyes.  To my surprise, after having a nice conversation maybe five minutes before, I looked over to see my husband fast asleep.

I watched his mouth drop open, and his breathing level as he drifted deeper and deeper.  I pondered for a minute:  He is out cold, sleeping without question. What if I did a little experiment?!

What if I woke up him and said, “Hey!  You’re sleeping!  Do you know how long you slept?  You got a whole hour in!”

I wondered if I could lie to his unconscious brain.

I know he wasn’t consciously awake. I could have gotten up and walked away and he wouldn’t have noticed.

Would he know if I lied?

Or would he believe that he did rest that long and could I trick him into feeling refreshed?  Which means he would be more productive for the rest of the afternoon! Ha!

When I went to wake him, he jumped–cajoled from his nap!  He was truly out.

Do you think he fell for my lie?  Or not?

Why do you believe what you believe?

I found this utterly fascinating!

And I can’t lie, so I confessed the truth to him in a matter of minutes and he found it quite humorous! Thank goodness.

Rare Expert Teaches YOU How To Spot A Liar

Come and learn real cutting-edge deception techniques from a rare expert in deception who has been identified and studied by scientists. Renee Ellory, known as “Eyes for Lies”, is exceptional at pinpointing a liar and can tell you why she doesn’t trust someone on the spot. Most people don’t realize the vast amount of clues liars leave behind in their wake; not only do their words betray them, but so do their emotions, body language, and behavior.

Renee does not teach the typical myths such as eye aversion, closed-off body language, blinking rates, nervousness, etc. These only divert attention away from spotting the truth. Instead, Renee gives people the tools to understand human behavior first and foremost, and then she builds on how our behavior reveals deception.

We think we are in control of our emotions, body language, behavior and words spoken, but the truth is we are not. Our mind and body literally betrays us on a subconscious level when we lie, it’s just few people know what to look for.

See what people say about Renee’s training here.

Jared Fogle on Dr. Phil

/3 Comments/in , /by

Last week, Dr. Phil had on the story of Subway Guy, Jared Fogle, and how he was brought down and exposed as a pedophile.

During the show, while it was absolutely nauseating to listen to Fogle talk, it was also rather shocking to see how clueless he was.  His behavior reveals that he is a very social awkward guy who didn’t know how to read people at all.

I was blown away that he thought he had a relationship with the woman who recorded him.  He has no sense of what a normal relationship is like to think he had one with her.  Her tone of voice and responses clearly reveal she was not into his sickness on any level and he didn’t pick up on it. One other potential reason that could explain this is his emotions were all over the board, and emotions fog our ability to see clearly.

The show really gave you an insight into the mind of a pedophile and it was very, very disturbing, and extremely uncomfortable to even listen to.  Be warned if you do.
