Most of us aren't clairvoyant, but we all do get a glimpse of events 1/10th of a second before they occur. Mark Changizi, a researcher at RPI in NY explains how the ability starts with a neural lag as your brain translates visual stimuli into data.
Practical applications of the foresight explain how we are able to move through a crowd of people or putting up or hands to catch a fly ball before getting hit in the face.
The lag is nothing new, although there have been debate over how we compensate. His research will be in the May/June issue of the journal Cognitive Science.
this slight time lapse is what causes DeJa Vou. You think you've seen something before, because your eyes actually have seen is a split second before your brain registers it.
that happens to me sometimes, ive never understood how or why, these spiritual-crazies love that stuff. it happened while i slept during the VA tech shooting, and its happened recently, but the really amazing thing is that i don't just see the faces, its always been the RIGHT faces. i'm not saying its God, but how could it be childhood implants? lol.
I have seen 9/11, The Iraw War, The Tsunami, The recent riots in Kenia, The earthquake in Iran, all in my dreams a few days before they happened. But what can i make off this ability. I dont know because how can i warn people, nobody will believe me anyway but i often thought about setting up a webpage.
I was about to post the same thing. From what I remember, it is the lag that can occur when the experience transfers from one hemisphere of the brain to the other.
I've had similar things happen. I had a dream of me sitting on a couch and my sister coming downstairs with a guy with red hair. I always remembered it because of the guy with red hair. It was also not my current house. I move and my sister comes to visit..with a boy with red hair. It was really really weird. Not the only time I've had it happen either.
I see myself some time next week. I’m sat at my desk surfing the web. Avoiding doing work, my Outlook is minimised and I’ve not even opened MS Office. It must be nearly lunch as some one is walking around seeing who’s going to the local shop. I’m trying to work out if I can leave early without any one noticing…. It’s gone.
...if a ball if flying towards me, I think I use logic and laws of the universe to figure out that if I don't move, it'll hit me. Not the fact that I can *see* that it will hit me before it does. Otherwise, why do we flinch when someone pretends to throw something at us but doesn't? Surely, we could've seen that they didn't actually throw anything? Not saying the person is wrong, but it's not really the best example to give. Unless I've missed something of course (which may well be the case..)
They aren't saying you can literally see the future. They're saying that your brain compensates for the 1/10th of a second delay by extrapolating what the next 1/10th of a second might look like.
Ah I see (no pun intended :D ). I assume, however, that the extrapolation is based with the logic of physics. Still, interesting study and I do like the Deja Vu theory here.
If some people can see the future in their dreams than i guess we are all f**k'ed, cause I just had a dream about these horrible space creature things comeing to Earth and houseing humans.
Only %10 of our brains are actually in function daily. Its evolution, it is and will continue. Imagine your regualr senses amplified by %20, what would happen? something cool thats what. Telepathy. Telekinesis(maybe not this). It shall all be here soon. 2012 perhaps, when we enter the paradigm.
