It's the morning after i advised I would be taking part in the experiment.
My findings:
First of all - i didn't get to sleep until 2:30am..
* Reasoning 1 - I kept feeling fidgety, i felt every inch of my skin move, i felt that when i breathed in and out, the shirt would rub against my skin making me pay attention to that. Mind you, this happens to all of us but manage to shut it out because it happens so damn much.
* Reasoning 2 - drinking lots and lots of tea right before was a bad idea. I interrupted the experiment twice to relieve myself.
* Reasoning 3 - i couldn't find the right 'static' -the static i kept finding on the radio would fluctuate and I would pay attention to that instead of paying attention to the task at hand. Finally , I was able to find a monotone static station *pheww
I wasn't able to see squat - and first of all, does anyone know if the participant is to be staring at the ping pong balls or having one's eyes closed? i didn't know which was what so i ended up falling asleep. Right before hand tho, i got to a point where i wasn't sure if i had my eyes open or closed. nice.
This morning as soon as I woke up i packed my things and tried for another try. I managed to 'see' static. This is odd. Y'know the cliche picture of static from a tv? well, I saw it... I believe i did because, well, I was listening to static to fine tune me into the mood. After the static, it all became 'gray' (which is best how i can describe it) -after the gray, i 'got back' to realizing i was staring at the pingy pawngy balls which lost its trick and here I am.
A friend checked in on me to see if i wasn't brain dead yet but alas, I'm not -or did i merely wake up dead and haven't realized?! *dun Dun DUN!
I will be trying more experiments as the day goes on.
