Scientists Discover Sixth Sense?
from the mindsight dept
Some researchers think they may have discovered part of what is commonly referred to as the sixth sense, which they refer to as "mindsight" - having your brain realize that something's not right before you can explain exactly why. The researcher in question claims that his studies show this is completely separate from actual sight, because the two "senses" don't seem to respond the same way in multiple experiments. There's also the interesting suggestion that some people in the tests who didn't appear to have "mindsight" may be drowning it out with an overdose of rational thinking, saying that what their mindsight is telling them couldn't be possible.

But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

No Subject Given
I have often wondered why the sensation of temperature and time are not seen as first-class sensory paths.

Or..
Perhaps when you are at a red light, allow yourself to 'Feel' when the light is about to turn. Maybe this is what is actually happening. After all, most testers know what is coming next to the subject.
