QUOTE

Scientists Prove Humans Have Sixth Sense Scientists say they have found proof that humans have a sixth sense. A team at the University of Freiburg in Germany found that people could tell when someone was watching them. Dr Stefan Schmidt performed more than a thousand experiments involving two people in two different rooms. The first volunteer could see the other on a CCTV monitor. The second volunteer had no idea that he was being watched, but through electrodes attached to his skin the scientists found his skin "prickled" when he was being stared at. In another experiment, the starer tried to make the other person feel either uncomfortable or relaxed. The electronic monitoring proved that it could be done. The sixth sense was the theme of the hit film of the same name, starring Bruce Willis, about a boy with psychic powers. Most scientists have written off the idea of people having psychic powers, although some believe that prehistoric man had a sixth sense which enabled him to sense danger approaching before he could see or hear it. Previous experiments have found that your blood pressure can be increased when someone is concentrating on you, which might explain the saying that burning ears mean someone is talking about you.

 

personally this has come as no great suprise to me. what do you guys think?

well it is not suprising really, because we do not use all of our brain, so, no doubt if we did, then, yes a six senth is poss

Lets all concentrate on Mr Happy and see if his ears catch fire, then we'll know for sure

 

 

On a more serious note, its not a surprise to me neither, on many occasions i've thought about a particular person, and then very shortly later, they've phoned or emailed me. I think its called intuituion, and i believe its quite common with many people

if i remember rightly: we need pretty much all of our brain. its just very little of it is in active use. the parts of the brain we dont use are simply path ways that havent been connected up yet.

Neurologists.

[Lisa]

well, if they are that good, then surely they would know whether we have a six sence or not I maybe wrong, but have they not fully sussed the brain out yet??

We do have six sense & scream has just proved it

[Alex]

They are far from a complete understanding of the brain, but have a fairly good understanding of the processes taking place. They have yet to find any evidence for "6th sense" activity in the brain.
