They reckon we can read one another's minds!

According to some research by professor Brian Scholl, of Yale University, "The brain is reading people's minds, not just where they are looking."

Our "Brains 'can read what's behind our eyes'!

He's drawn this conclusion, because of following the urge to look wherever someone else might be gazing, we're able to tell when they are simply averting their eyes, and not looking at anything in particular, (when we're staring at them). I hope that makes sense(?).

His findings have been published in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences". anyway. .

I ABSOLUTELY believe that! It's called "Mental telepathy".

Hmmm.... I hope there are no women hereabouts that can read my mind, I'd be arrested....... or well and truly slapped.

IMO we are really taking cues from people's body language, eye movement, etc... and drawing conclusions based on that along with our knowledge of the person. Sort of an instinctive intuition as opposed to actual mind reading.

I agree this awareness brings many insights, (as you say) but I firmly also believe in thought transference. I KNOW this is a reality!

Our 6th sense. All animals with consciousness have it. Apparently ours has dimished over evolution cause we as a society no longer believe in it so don’t use it. I also believe in telepathy.

I once picked up a book in a charity shop on the subject of the human brain, and what was known of its workings, and what was then speculated upon, (and how much they admitted they did not know too, a vast amount they said ). I found it far too complicated to understand I'm afraid, so there is not too much point in my mentioning it really. .

I do accept some people have tremendous insights into others character, or thinking, (one friend told me she had this kind of ability, and I was convinced enough by her, as a very intelligent and intuitive person, to agree! ).
