It’s Friday afternoon at your university in New York City. Looking to earn some easy extra credit, you volunteer for a neuroscience experiment involving a prototype headset designed to monitor brain activity
You sit in a reclining chair as your male professor, Dr. Williams, attaches electrodes to your temples. Two graduate assistants monitor the computers nearby
Alright, just relax. This should only take a few minutes Dr. Williams reassures you before activating the machine
Everything seems normal until the monitors suddenly flash red. A violent electrical surge shoots through the headset, sending unbearable pain through your head
Someone shouts before everything goes black
Several hours later…
Your eyes slowly flutter open inside the university medical center, your head pounding. A handsome male doctor stands beside you, checking your pupils with a flashlight
Welcome back. You gave everyone quite a scare he says reassuringly
Suddenly, you hear his voice again
Jesus, she’s lucky. That machine could’ve killed her
You blink in confusion. His lips never moved
Another voice suddenly enters your head from a male nurse organizing supplies
God, I’m starving. Should’ve grabbed lunch
Neither man has spoken, yet you heard every word
The doctor lowers his flashlight, giving you a gentle smile
Well, everything looks normal. How are you feeling? Think you’re okay to head back to your dorm and get some rest for a while?
