Mysterious phone illusion ... vibrate

When do you experience the feeling that your phone is shaking, but . no one calls?

Psychedelic phenomena vibrate

Researcher Michael Rothberg at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts (USA) discovered a similar phenomenon with employees here. According to statistics, up to 70% of employees experience the feeling that the phone is vibrating, some even face this phenomenon every day.

Michael Rothberg found the reason and explained in ScienceLin that, basically, those hallucinations exist in human perception, which can be aroused by a small brain injury when something must be done. secrete and classify too many external events.

Every minute, the brain receives information from your body's "sensors" like eyes, nose, skin . At some point, the brain will be overwhelmed by the amount of information it receives, leading to can't handle them all.

When this happens, brain information obtained from the 'sensor' will be reclassified again. That is also the reason they affect our activities in a way that is not as expected.

Back in the case of the phone, due to the longing for the message, some call that we accidentally made the brain "overwhelmed" about the amount of information related to this. Since then, when overloaded information about this object, the brain will create hallucinations, making us feel like the phone is vibrating really.

This phenomenon is in fact not new, can happen to anyone in any circumstance. For example, you are on a camping trip but you are very afraid of snakes. Your mind is always worried about that. Don't be surprised when you go on a trip, you are constantly startled by the idea that you hit a snake while it was just a dry branch.

The case with the phone is more common. For people who are always busy or constantly communicating through their cell phones, their brains will often misunderstand the meaning of information such as the rubbing of clothes on the body or the stomach being ' rang ' up for hunger. All of that became the illusion of a phone vibrating.

Although it's called a 'brain injury' , you don't have to be too afraid of that. Except for the fact that up to 70% of those around you are experiencing such hallucinations. It can also be seen as an acceptable form of "error" from our brain judgments as any other errors occur in complex calculations.
