Previously, it was thought that people’s communication with the outside world is completely cut off during sleep, but rece experimes show that sleep does not cut off the connection with the outside world as much as it was thought uil now.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, uil now, scieists thought that a curtain is drawn between the brain and the outside world during sleep, so the human brain will not show any reaction to external stimuli.
A rece study suggests that there will be periods during sleep that cause the distance between the brain and the outside world to decrease. During this study, the researchers noticed that the participas could smile or frown at certain stages of sleep.
Delphine Odette, one of the cognitive scieists of the Paris Brain Institute in France, says about this: This does not mean that you can do things in your sleep. He added that historically sleep has been defined in such a way that people’s awareness of the environme is completely stopped so that they cannot react to the outside world.
By conducting experimes, he was able to challenge this definition of sleep. Because in the research conducted by him, it was possible to communicate with people who were aware of their dreams. During these dreams, the researchers could ask the participas questions and they would answer them through eye movemes and facial muscles.
According to Audit, these experimes show that certain physiological states will be created in sleep, which can be suitable for communicating with the outside world. Also, the researchers plan to achieve a better understanding of sleep disorders such as sleep walking with more experimes in the future.
