<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">DO YOU EVER want to change the way you see the world? Wouldn&#39;t it be fun to hallucinate on your lunch break? Although we typically associate such phenomena with powerful drugs like LSD or mescaline, it&#39;s easy to fling open the doors of perception without them: All it takes is a basic understanding of how the mind works.</p>
<p>		The first thing to know is that the mind isn&#39;t a mirror, or even a passive observer of reality. Much of what we think of as being out there actually comes from in here, and is a byproduct of how the brain processes sensation. In recent years scientists have come up with a number of simple tricks that expose the artifice of our senses, so that we end up perceiving what we know isn&#39;t real &#8211; tweaking the cortex to produce something uncannily like hallucinations. Perhaps we hear the voice of someone who is no longer alive, or feel as if our nose is suddenly 3 feet long.</p>
