Negative Hallucination
=====Negative Hallucination=====
If the ego seems whole and complete, beyond it is only the fragmented, uncoordinated state of the body.
 
Freud had been intrigued by the phenomenon known as negative hallucination. Subjects would be hypnotized and informed, for example, that there was no furniture in the room. Then they would be requested to fetch something from the far corner of the same room.
 
If asked why they didn't walk straight to that corner, but instead took a carefully plotted route — precisely to avoid the furniture — they replied with false statements.
