Dream Hacking: 3 Groundbreaking Experiments
Synopsis
Seven times, participants in a dream manipulation experiment changed their preferences without being aware of the influence on their decisions.
Synopsis
Moran Cerf, a neuroscientist and former hacker, conducts experiments to manipulate preferences and decisions through dreams. Using an electroencephalogram, he monitors participants as they make choices between two images. In one trial, a participant unknowingly selects a woman but later rationalizes a different choice due to a phenomenon called choice blindness. The documentary presents three experiments that reveal how unconscious influences can shape behavior and suggests potential applications for problem-solving in dreams.
