What is it like to drill a hole in your head?:
Neurophilosophy has secured an interview Heather Perry, a lady who has drilled a hole through her own skull as part of a self-treppaning ritual, and is asking readers to suggest questions.
Treppaning is an ancient art but for obvious reasons, it's rarely done these days except during brain surgery.
Nevertheless, a dedicated band of devotees argue it has spiritual and psychological benefits.
I have to admit, I'm more than a little sceptical of these benefits, but I'd be fascinated to hear from anyone whose had it done.
So if you've got any burning questions, head on over to Neurophilosophy and Mo will select the best ones from the comments to put to Heather.
Link to Neurophilosophy call for trepanning questions.
