Blinked repeatedly reported what sign?

Not only did they explain why humans winked many times, scientists also discovered a correlation between winking and lying.

According to scientists, the average person winks 15-20 times / minute, 1,200 times / hour and 28,800 times / day. On average, we spend about 10% of our time with our eyes closed while awake.

The number of such blinks exceeds the need to smooth the iris. Therefore, scientists have conducted research to explain the phenomenon of people blinking many times.

Researchers found that the brain took a break when we blinked.

The team found that continuous winking wasn't a bad sign or that someone was referring to you. This phenomenon can be a condition that allows the brain to rest for a moment, creating a chance for the mind to have a little restlessness for a second, even a few seconds.

When our minds are not focused on certain things, some areas of the brain of the system type exist by default, allowing our minds to shift to idle form - a phenomenon that scientists have discover for decades.

However, what does winking have to do with this idle state? According to the above study, the wink and brain state while resting together. To explain this phenomenon, scientists scanned the brain of 20 healthy people while they were watching some comedy videos.

Scientists found that at natural quiet spots appearing in the film, people watching movies automatically blinked and scanned images showed a dip in the brain area that controls concentration. In this transient time, the brain's default system switches to idle brain state.

Scientists at Osaka University also said that this study helps scientists discover more about the correlation between lying and winking. Because, the liar needs to pay attention to the high level of attention, so they will be less winking at the time.
