Interview Question

postedby ericnguyen on October13th,2009 tagged brains, personal, technology

I just made up an interview question:

Imagine you are hearing voices. Naturally, you find it quite disturbing to be having conversations with someone or something that no one else seems to be able to hear. Is someone beaming them into your mind from afar? Or are you actually going crazy? Assume that your voices want to convince you that they’re actually coming from within your own mind. Design an experiment that will allow you make a determination one way or another.

My answer in a few days. Add yours in the comments, wherever this post is being syndicated.
