As people understand each other without words

• How do people understand each other without words

Everyone in life there are times when you simply believe in something, not realizing where does this confidence. One well-known professors have a pretty interesting theory about how and why this happens.

We already know that it - it's just part of the process of communication between people, and that the non-verbal signals are also playing an important role in this.

But Digby Tanti, a professor of psychotherapy University of Sheffield, went further and proposed an innovative theory that human brains are interconnected by the type of "wi-fi".

Tanti says that the brain picks mikrosignaly who report that a person is thinking, giving us the feeling of "My gut" that otherwise we call intuition.

Tanti calls this phenomenon "diencephalon".

"We are able to immediately understand what they feel and what to pay attention to other people.

This ability is based on the direct relationship between our brain and the brain of other people.

One advantage of this is that the relationship is carried out in the background. We take it for granted, accept unconsciously. "

Tanti believes that all this is due to the sense of smell.

That is, we are not as we read as "chuem" each other's thoughts.

TAHT indicates that brain region with the highest activity are neurons in the prefrontal cortex and associated with the sense of smell.

If the chemical processes of our brain are changing, we can emit molecules that signal such feelings as fear or sexual arousal. Tanti goes on to argue that his theory could explain why people gravitate to massive emotional events, such as religious services, concerts or football.

When the coincidence of the activity of "waves" within the brain people can not just "talk on the same wavelength", but also to visit the same "interest groups."

Stay in a crowd of like-minded people can also cause us to experience the feeling as if we go beyond the "self" as if we are all-powerful, we feel at the "crest of the wave."

If the "wi-fi brain" works through our sense of smell, is a danger brings with it a proliferation of electronic forms of communication between people, for example, communication via video calls.

The judgment handed down on the person or the situation may be wrong. Subconscious connection between the brain interlocutors disrupted because of such restrictions - they do not see the smallest gestures can not hear some sounds, they have no opportunity to touch each other. Furthermore, there is such an important component for inclusion intuition, as the smell of sweat.

Tanta wrote about his research in his new book "The Interbrain". Nevertheless, it does not need another study, before we fully agree with his theory or disprove it.
