Next : Telepathic Transfer of
Pain ?
Tribune India ( 04
March , 2018 ) carries following report :
Reach for the hand of a loved one in
pain and not only will your breathing and heart rate synchronise with theirs,
your brain wave patterns will couple up too, according to a study.
The research also found that the more
empathy a comforting partner feels for a partner in pain, the more their
brainwaves fall into sync. And
the more those brain waves sync, the more the pain goes away.
"We have developed a lot of ways to
communicate in the modern world and we have fewer physical interactions,"
said Pavel Goldstein from University of
Colorado at Boulder in the US.
"This paper illustrates the power
and importance of human touch," Goldstein said.
The study, published in the journal PNAS, is the first to look at brain wave
synchronization in the context of pain, and offers new insight into the role brain-to-brain coupling may
play in touch-induced analgesia, or healing touch.
Researchers recruited 22 heterosexual
couples, age 23 to 32 who had been together for at least one year and put them
through several two-minute scenarios as electroencephalography (EEG) caps measured
their brainwave activity.
The scenarios included sitting together
not touching; sitting together holding hands; and sitting in separate rooms. Then
they repeated the scenarios as the woman was subjected to mild heat pain on her
arm.
Merely being in each other's presence,
with or without touch, was associated with some brain wave synchronicity in the
alpha mu band, a wavelength associated with focused attention.
If they held hands while she was in
pain, the coupling increased the most.
The researchers also found that when she
was in pain and he couldn't touch her, the coupling of their brain waves
diminished.
"It appears that pain totally
interrupts this interpersonal synchronization between couples and touch brings
it back," said Goldstein.
Totally unaware of what Pavel
Goldstein was working on, I imagined the possibility of such scientific
advancement, some 3 MONTHS ago , in my
following blog :
Equalizing
/ Distributing / Transferring , Pain ? [ 03 Dec 2017 ]
Dear Pavel :
I hope , someday soon , you will find time to research
, how pain can be transferred from one person to another , just by “ thinking “
( telepathy ? ) , across hundreds of kilometres away
If you succeed, you will help ( even if partially ) ,
4 billion poor people of the World, earn an income !
