More and more studies are being done on the claims of Extra Sensory Perception (ESP). We now are getting more information of why some people think that there is a sixth sense. Slowly we are finding out how our brain handles the input of our 5 senses and that the experience of a sixth sense is just an illusion we don’t have an explanation for yet. So far, the many pseudo scientist, who claim to have “proven” the existence of a sixth sense have not been able to bring definite proof to the table but are finding out that their proof isn’t airtight. Other scientist are slowly unraveling the mysteries of the Brain are coming closer to the conclusion that some of the unexplained phenomena are functions of our regular five senses.
Researchers at the University of Melbourne under the leadership of Piers Howards. conducted a number of studies which show that people can regularly detect changes without necessarily being able to identify what has changed. The paper “Detecting Unidentified Changes” was published January 13, 2014 in the on-line journal PLUS_ONE. This phenomena, called “change blindness” has been identified before but this is the first scientific study to verify its exact nature, It gives the person the impression that they know something “without knowing”, in other words knowing something but has no idea why or how he/she knows it. The persons who experienced this phenomena felt that is was similar to a sixth sense, by the fact that they sense information that did not have before and thus thought it to be a “magic” way of receiving that information. The study showed that the sensing ability is real but has nothing to do with a magic 6th sense and can be explained as a known process.
Keep tuned.
