English psychologist Dean Reydin believes that we actually exists a kind of "sixth sense", sometimes fleeing from danger.He performed a series of experiments which, in his view, confirm the existence of such a sense of anticipation.
Alex, a member of one of the University of Oregon (USA), from time to time, clean and lubricate your six-shooter.In this system, when you press the trigger is cocked the trigger and the drum rotates through one hole and then firing pin strikes the primer of the cartridge loaded into another hole of the drum.For greater safety Alex always sticks to his colt only five rounds to the striker was against a blank, the sixth chamber of the drum.
And on this day, before cleaning, it took five cartridges and put them on the table.After finishing all operations, Alex began to insert cartridges into the drum.But when he reached the last, the fifth patron, the owner of the gun suddenly felt a vague rush of anxiety, any threat associated with this last round.I never in my life, says Alex, do not feel like it.And he left the fifth round on the table and put the striker, as always, in front of an empty, six cameras.Now there were two empty chambers: the sixth and adjacent fifth.
After two weeks in the house of Alex met the cheerful company, was among the guests and his bride.Suddenly, the two guests quarrel, one of the fighters seized a gun owner, hanging on the wall, and sent it to the opponent, so much so that on the line of sight was the groom Alex.He leapt forward, shielding her with his body, there was a dry click of the trigger ... The striker struck in the second empty slot where he could stand holder, pending the side two weeks ago.Such cases
intuitive sense of danger, and remote in time and immediate long interested scientists.There are several possible explanations for this phenomenon.The most realistic of them seem to be three.When there is a risk of a few seconds or minutes before it occurs, the person warned about her subliminal stimuli.You do not notice them, or, at least, are not aware of, but their brain registers and makes you automatically avoid dangers.It can be very quiet sound, a movement, noticed the corner of the eye, subtle changes in facial expressions ... Alternatively, these premonitions appear in each one of us often, but we remember them only in cases where they are justified.A third possibility: when there was some misfortune, a man in hindsight, rummaging through their feelings, invents itself "memories" that if he felt ahead of time that something was wrong.
However, English psychologist Dean Reydin, now works at the same university, says that we have indeed a kind of "sixth sense", sometimes fleeing from danger.He performed a series of experiments which, in his view, confirm the existence of such a sense of anticipation.
subject was put in front of a screen on which the computer randomly displays photographs - some neutral content, such as peaceful landscapes, and others threatening or unpleasant, for example, pictures of spiders and snakes.Images appear for three seconds, with pauses between them in eight seconds.During the experiment, a man is measured by the electrical resistance of the skin and bloodstream.The experience takes place in a calm atmosphere, in a separate room without the experimenter.
The test results are not surprising at first sight, when an unpleasant image, curves physiological condition jump.When calm pictures they remain calm.But after looking for these curves, we see that in two seconds until the picture on the screen when the computer it has not chosen before the photo unpleasant physiological indicators give rise (see. Figure).That is, the body reacts to unpleasant emotions for a few seconds before they will appear.
the graph changes the electrical resistance of the skin can be seen that for about two seconds until the screen suddenly unpleasant pictures is quite noticeable change physiological responses of the skin test .
Reydina According to the results of his experiments confirm what people already know many of us: some foreboding at the unconscious level often warns us of impending misfortunes.
Reydin engaged in parapsychological experiments based on a similar procedure in 1993.Then he studied at Edinburgh University more familiar to many, but not less mysterious feeling - the feeling that you are watching.In two rooms, separated from each other by 30 meters and connected TV system, placed the experimenter and subject.After the experimenter a camera in one room could look at another test, the subject did not know when it is viewed.However, it is in these moments, selected strictly at random, the subject felt "something".More precisely, he felt nothing, but he suddenly changes the electrical resistance of the skin.
Then psychologist wondered if this "sixth sense" may occur in experiments with two people separated in space, it can not happen if the same time?Not whether a person is able to take sometimes disturbing signal from the future from himself?And he developed a scheme of the experiment showing pictures through the computer.
His repeated experiments other scientists at the Universities of Amsterdam and Edinburgh, and the results were similar.
Reydin himself does not believe that these experiments conclusively prove the existence of an intuitive sense of danger.The results of all three laboratories that experiment on two hundred people require repeated confirmation in dozens of laboratories around the world.
Critics of parapsychology (eg, a colleague at the university Reydina Ray Hyman) indicate that the experiments in other laboratories need to be a mere repetition - otherwise they just repeat the errors and the experimenter, and the re-designed experiments aimed at identifying the same effect kakim-the other, equally witty and compelling way.In particular, critics point: the resistance of the skin normally fluctuates considerably, and it is not clear that taking over the baseline.
first attempts to scientifically explore the phenomenon called psychic, began half a century ago.During this time, repeatedly, there were reports about experiments, seemingly unambiguously confirm the existence of telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis, and anything else of the sort.But each time more carefully check to detect errors in the experiment, or methods of evaluation of its results, and that even outright deception.
But if this hypothesis is confirmed, the findings could shake the foundations of all the sciences and philosophy, and even be useful in everyday life.It is generally accepted that the future can influence the past.The causal relationships do not work in the opposite direction.If not, it will have to revise the axioms of almost all sciences.That is why the check should be arhistrogoy.
Yet tempting to imagine that someday planes may be equipped with a computer system that monitors subconscious emotions crew members.If in the midst of a relaxing flight computer will notice that the crew unjustly changed physiological parameters, it will warn the pilot: look sharp, which is preparing!
