This is cool and I have the perfect spot to replicate this to a certain extent.

The further adventures of Richard Dawkins, part the zillionth.
Alcohol played a part when R.D. donned the "God helmet" to see if this technology could create a ''God delusion'' in his brain.
Apparently not.
Later 'neuro-theologist' Michael Persinger complained that R.D. had imbibed the demon drink just before the experiment effectively neutralizing the helmet's influence.
Now to be fair to R.D. he doesn't seem legless in the video,just slightly merry.
Which just goes to show that you can lead a horseman to a God helmet, but you can't let him drink.
