Doors
Have you ever happened to enter a room with a specific purpose and then completely forget, why did you come? It turns out that the reason for these strange memory failures lies ... in the doorway.
Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame (near Chicago, USA) found that when passing through the doorway, a mechanism called the "event boundary" triggered the consciousness, which separates one set of thoughts and memories from the other, just like episodes in a movie.
Your brain automatically "sends to the archive" the thoughts that you owned in the previous room, and clears the space for new ones.
Sound signals
What annoys you more: alarm clock, a buzzer of a car stuck in a traffic jam or a reminder of your mobile phone, that he is running out of charge? None of these sounds caress our ears. These sound signals have become a kind of soundtrack of the modern world, but each of them continues to annoy us - because it causes a small "brain glitch".
Phones
Do you have this: do you feel that the phone vibrates, you get it, and look at the lifeless screen with bewilderment? If you, like most people, have such "phantom vibrations" from time to time, this is because your brain is making the wrong conclusions, trying to order the chaos of your life.
