Some1 asked me, "I've heard of clinical research on brain function that showed that the same part of the brain is activated when a person looks at some object as when they remember or imagine seeing it. Can you point me to more specific data?"
Maybe these findings will help... Scans Show How Hypnosis Affects Brain Activity <http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&articleID=000CC0C2-5EE6-1\ 2C0-9EE683414B7F0000> A well-known example of cognitive conflict involves a person trying to name the color of ink used to print letters that spell out a different color. For example, the word "blue" spelled out in red ink. It usually takes subjects longer to read out such a list than it does to read a list of color names written in matching colored inks.

Brain Scans Helps Scientists "Read" Minds http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&articleID=000BB5F3-67BE-12\ 69-A7BE83414B7F0000 <http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&articleID=000BB5F3-67BE-1\ 269-A7BE83414B7F0000> two papers published this week by Nature Neuroscience show how scientists are inching toward this goal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)scans of people's brains, researchers report, can reveal what types of images they have recently seen. Using M.R.I.'s To See Politics On the Brain <http://www.commercialalert.org/issues-article.php?article_id=251&subcat\ egory_id=82&category=1> The political consultants discreetly observed from the next room as their subject watched the campaign commercials. But in this political experiment, unlike the usual ones, the subject did not respond by turning a dial or discussing his reactions with a focus group .He lay inside an M.R.I. machine Happy Learning, Yovan P.
