Cold taste It can be transmitted

Surely you've seen other people yawn and you yawning. Apparently, not only it can be contagious, cold can make people around him to feel the same way according to a study conducted by scientists from the UK.

The team from the University of Sussex found the fact that the participants involved in this study significantly decreased body temperature when watching videos of people who put a hand into cold water. This suggests that humans readily susceptible "transmission temperature".

But when the 36 participants were asked to look at the video that is being put your hand into the warm water, there is no change in body temperature. Researchers also concluded that people are more sensitive to cold than heat.

Research published in the journal PLoS One this led researchers to associate the human ability to empathize with one another. "The conscious physiological changes can help us empathize with one another in social life," said study leader Neil Harrison neurologist as reported in the Times of India
