Existing Research

Links to existing research which prove relevant to the scientific study of Tulpae, because you can't write a credible scientific document anymore without listing thirty others.

That might be a good idea.

I did say research, as in actual research, not just articles.

Though articles are welcome too, just no Wikipedia, anyone can Google that.

Charlotte, Fede, take it back to off-topic.

 

Our only real research right now is http://news.stanford.edu/news/2012/april/c...god-041212.html, a study into a similar phenomena amongst the religious who pray frequently.

 

Other than that, when Dicks turned up in the IRC, we recalled http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science...-our-heads.html which might be usable with fully-imposed tulpa to prove that those with tulpa do in fact experience full, animated, visual hallucinations at a neurologically-recordable level.

 

EDIT: A video on that topic,

, as was posted over in the Speculation thread in general.

 

And since inb4 does nothing, it's also worth looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinations_in_the_sane for similar and equivalent phenomena. If scientific studies of tulpa phenomena do go ahead and prove fruitful, this is the page that'll be seeing updates.

Probably anything related to: imaginary friends,multiple personalities, autosuggestion, hallucinations and consciousness.

Strangely, I haven't been able to find any scholarly articles on the topic of tulpas. Has anybody else had any luck in this department?

I haven't been able to find any scholarly articles on the topic of tulpas.

 

There are no scholarly articles. If there were, I wouldn't have to bust my ass to write docs about what they are, how to make them, what they can do, and all that shit.
