Scientists have explained the emergence of the feeling of someone else's presence in the room

Scientists continue to investigate one of the most mysterious phenomena of psychology - the feeling of someone else's presence in the room. As you know, many people periodically have a feeling that someone else is next to them, even if there is no one. Despite the fact that this phenomenon occurs quite often, the scientific explanation of its nature still remains a mystery.

New research conducted by scientists from the University of Tokyo, trying to solve the mystery of this phenomenon, based on neurophysiological and neurocognitive data. Their research is published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.

Scientists claim that the feeling of someone else's presence is the result of an imbalance in the work of the cerebral hemispheres. During the study, participants were presented with special glasses that displayed their own body with a delay of two seconds. This created the illusion that the body was in another place and caused a sense of someone else's presence.

Scientists also claim that the feeling of someone else's presence may be associated with disturbances in the work of those parts of the brain that are responsible for orientation in space and perception of their body.

Although these studies may provide new insights into how the brain works, they do not solve all the mysteries around the phenomenon of feeling someone else's presence. Scientists continue to explore this topic and hope to gain a deeper understanding of how our brain works and how our perceptions are formed.
