The new findings of scientists about sleep challenge some of its characteristics

Previously, it was thought that people’s communication with the outside world is completely cut off during sleep, but recent experiments show that sleep does not cut off the connection with the outside world as much as it was thought until now.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, until now, scientists 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 recent 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 participants could smile or frown at certain stages of sleep.

Delphine Odette, one of the cognitive scientists 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 environment is completely stopped so that they cannot react to the outside world.

By conducting experiments, 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 participants questions and they would answer them through eye movements and facial muscles.

According to Audit, these experiments 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 experiments in the future.
