Top 10 scientific explanations for the way we see our body

2021-02-22 21:34:21

There is the body we see, ours, the one we see in the mirror reflection as often as possible and there is our body as seen by others. And I assure you, it's not the same salad. You have certainly noticed it, but there is a tendency to dislike your body or to judge it differently from others who perceive it with their own eyes. Nothing surprising in this but we will try to explain here why our perceptions of ourselves are sometimes totally messed up.

1. Why are we ugly in the photos?

And to answer this question I will simply refer you to this top which explains why we find ourselves ugly in photos. Basically, several biases come into play: the fact of being used to our reflection in the mirror and therefore of not finding our photo image representative of our so soft reflection, but also the fact of being confronted with an image of us in motion, a freeze-frame in somehow that always gives us a butt head.

2. Why do we hate our recorded voice?

Finally an answer to this hearing ailment from which we suffer so much ... Explanations: in the same way that there are two bodies (the one we see and the the one that others see), there are two voices (there may be more, but only for people who think they are Napoleon). First there is the one we hear when we speak and which is more serious because it resonates inside our body, in our bones which gives it more serious intonations. And the serious we like it serious. We like it so much that when we listen to our voice, this second voice, we lose these fsevere frequencies and we therefore have the impression of having a disgusting acute voice.

3. Why do we have a spinning head when we're drunk?

Spinning is basically a concern of the inner ear, the organ that helps us maintain our balance. But when we start a breed (whether with cheap beer or biodynamic wine), our inner ear loses all common sense. In fact, its walls are covered with small hairs that are too cheesy, which are used to soaking in a viscous liquid that is too haphazard and called endolymph. It's the positioning of the little hairs in this gelatinous mud that will help the brain to see if everything is horizontal in there or if it's a mess.

OR, when we drink, the alcohol thatknows no between the encrusted endolymph, making it more liquid. And here is the horizontality of the liquid in relation to the hairs is all shot and the brain has the impression of being in Inception.

4. Why would we be more beautiful when we look to the right in a photo?

According to a social psychologist at Cambridge University, people who look to the right in a photo give the impression of projecting themselves into the future. It is an old bias that tends to make us perceive them as more dynamic and therefore more beautiful than those who look to the left. Take the test. You finally have the solution to take a picture of your best profile.

5. Why do we perceive green better?

Simply because that we have kept a great memory of our past as hunter-gatherers of this color associated with chlorophyll and therefore with all that is edible food. Our eye, which obviously takes a little long to relax, continued to record that green was very important for our survival and that we shouldn't miss a drop of it. Except when it's vomit. Or a Cetelem ad.

6. Why do we always find ourselves uglier than we really are?

We are all a trifle hot mate who always complains about being found Too bad and it makes you want to beat her a little. Well know that it is nevertheless a normal perception. The reason is not so much scientific as psychological: the look we have on us.s itself is responsible for our past, our history and the brief remarks we may have heard, our gaze is necessarily biased and in no way objective. Let it be taken for granted: the image we have of us has nothing to do with the image that others have of us (except p'tet for the hair color, go this one I you grant it).

7. Why do we often have the impression of falling when we fall asleep?

These are called "hypnic jerks" or "sleep myoclonus". Don't worry, many of us experience these weird sensations of falling when falling asleep. It is linked to the first phase of REM sleep during which the brain freaks out because you move more and think that you are dead (great stupid this brain), suddenly to check if everything is fine it sends a impulsion which results in a sensation of falling.

8. Why does it always seem like the queue next to us is shorter?

Even if in itself there is no reason for the heavens to punish you every time you go shopping, you will almost always feel like you are in the wrong queue. Spinoza theorized this concept which he calls the illusion of final causes. Overall, we always think that what happens to us bad is linked to our fate and our bad luck, and that luck has nothing to do with it.

9. Why do we laugh when we are tickled?

It's quite sad to learn that tickling is not necessarily a piece of cake for everyone (you will find out more about questions we ask ourselves about tickling ), especially when you are not tactile . Indeed the laughter provoked by tickling has nothing to do with the laughter provoked by a good joke, in reality it is a defense mechanism set up by our body whose areas endowed with sensory receptors called Meissner corpuscles are stimulated by surprise.

10. Why we have the impression of having a cardiac arrest when the plane crosses a zone of turbulence for when we fhave bungee jumping?

This is again part of these weird reactions our body makes . Well, I reassure you, this strange feeling of loftiness is due to a disorder of your inner ear (the famous one which already accentuates our state of intoxication by making us spin our heads) and creates what is called otolithic vertigo.

Anyway, personally I have always thought that there had plenty of beforeages to be ugly and even more
