Psych 101

“All right class, as you no doubt know by now, I am Mr. Book. I am replacing Mr. Cready, for which you should be grateful. His outdated, pseudoscientific nonsense psychology is a thing of the past. I received my Ph.D. in neuropsychology six years ago, and have been doing cutting edge research ever since. This is a significant improvement over Mr. Cready’s Master’s degree in getting children to believe whatever you tell them,” Mr. Book averred, clearly going the “shock and awe” route to getting children to believe whatever you tell them.

“My research has been in the field of “visual neuron sympathetic frontal cortex syncopation”. This will not, generally, be the subject of our class. We will be going through the basics of how consciousness arises from the brain. However, for today’s class I am going to demonstrate, experimentally, the reality that the mind is a physical object, which can be affected by physical stimuli,” Mr. Book continued.
You’re pretty sure that he just said that he can hack your brain by looking in your eyes.

“For the experiment, I am going to require a subject from the audience. Do not raise your hands, I will choose someone who looks susceptible,” Mr. Book grinned a bit at this last word, and once again the light glared off his glasses at what seemed like an impossible angle as he looked around the room.
