Scientists from Princeton had an entertaining experiment.Seated in a cozy room two companions, they asked them to talk to each other.While one of them picked up a fascinating subject, he listened attentively to the second.This dialogue took place under the strict supervision of the machine fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), which scanned the brains of both parties.Having pictures of research, scientists have found that the activity of various parts of the brain (which is determined by the degree of blood flow to a particular area), the narrator and the listener was virtually identical.
during the following similar experiments we found out that if the narrator was listening attentively, the identity of the activity of brain cells was minimal.When the narrator spoke in an unknown language to the listener, neurons interlocutors do not harmonize with each other.
This is quite primitive example of the mental connection.It can be seen, for example, in school, when the teacher tells the students the material.More interesting mental connection becomes in situations that have arisen spontaneously, in everyday life.This phenomenon can be observed among people who are kinship ties or a great love.If a family member (or a loved one) comes misfortune, it can feel close strong emotion at this moment.Neuroscientists call this phenomenon "mental connection."Particularly striking, in their opinion, it is between the parent and the child (probably many people know this phrase as "motherly instinct").
How does the mental connection at this level still remains a mystery.Few reveal the secret can only modest research in the field of telepathy, which, by the way, some scientists tend to think of quackery.
But back to simpler examples where the mental connection is shown at the elementary level.In everyday life, people are close to each other do not ask: "Would you coffee?".This question is reduced to a single word: "Coffee?".And when the questioner gets the answer: "Yes, one sugar" - it immediately becomes clear what kind of coffee wants his companion.In this short dialogue missed extra lexical fragments that each holds in his head, literally pronouncing them telepathically.
According to scientists, this phenomenon is most clearly seen is between close friends.
And so we can conclude that the mental connection - a psychosocial phenomenon, which can be developed to a certain level with the help of emotional feelings towards another person.
In addition, it was found that it is best manifested such contact when the interlocutors communicate in person, face to face.And options such dialogues as videoconferencing or telephone conversation, much less provoke the appearance of the link.
mentality - it is a very unexplored area of human psychology.However, it has already been successfully used in marketing.Many large corporations such advertising agents are trained enough new sales techniques like neurolinguistic programming (NLP), which appeared in the foundation of the principles of mental communication in a duet with a light hypnosis potential buyer.
But let science continues to unravel its mysteries, and you will now be able to check this phenomenon for yourself.Note the time and try hard to think of the person you most care about, send it mentally hugs and kisses or even words, phrases and ideas, and then ask him what he was feeling at that moment.
