The first way it explains is by listening to radio static and putting a cut in half ping pong ball over your eyes. Since your brain has little to sense in this situation it produces its own illusions or fantasies that you can supposedly see.

The next one shows how you can shrink pain by looking at an injury you have on your body through binoculars, but holding them backwards so the wound or injury looks smaller. This has been tested and shown in studies that this helped the person feel less pain and even reduced inflammation. This shows you how seeing something really effects how our mind feels about it.
