If you feel the presence of invisible people in a strange way or have a gift for anticipating danger, this does not mean you have a sixth sense, scientists say.
Researchers at the University of Melbourne have found that people can accurately identify changes in the environment, even when they can't describe what has changed.
However, this is not due to superpowers, but rather cues that we pick up with our normal senses, such as sight and hearing.
The researchers provided 48 different people with pairs of photos of the woman. On some of them, the woman's appearance was changed, such as her hair style or wearing glasses.
The photos were shown by the participant for 1.5 seconds with a break of 1 second between the show. Participants were asked if there had been any changes and, if so, they had to choose an answer from 9 possible options.
Extrasensory abilities
The results showed that while volunteers could feel that a change had taken place, they could not express what it consisted of. Although for many people this has confirmed the presence of a sixth sense or extrasensory perception, researchers say that such an ability does not exist.
Dr. Piers Howe, who conducted the study, believes that people processed information that they could not put into words, but often captured subconsciously.
“There was enough information to tell them that the change had taken place, as they saw that the image was more complete, but not enough to tell them what the change was. Many people thought they had magical powers, although we set everything up,” he said.
How to develop psychic abilities?
The sixth sense, or extrasensory perception, is essentially a combination of our main senses, including sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. People who have a sixth sense have good intuition. Here are a few ways to develop this ability:
