The sixth sense is another term for extrasensory perception (ESP). Extrasensory perception (ESP) would involve the reception of information not gained through the recognized senses and not internally originated. According to the National Science Foundation, ESP is listed as *pseudoscience (*pseudo-science = false-science = scientific, but not in fact supported by reliable experimental evidence) Psychology researches found that there’s simply no such thing as a sixth sense. People could reliably detect a change in their surroundings, even if they could not accurately describe what that change was and this was not due to any kind of supernatural ability, but rather from cues picked up from more conventional senses such as sight. What some people believe as sixth sense, actually it’s an intuition or bit like an abstract painting – it doesn’t depict anything you can label, such as a sea or mountain, but you can still get a lot of information on what’s going on. Intuition is not something that only successful mediums and psychics have. Seeing with our brains, not with our eyes. |
Taking sight as an example, we simply cannot process information through our eyes fast enough to produce the complex, real time, 3-D images that we see in our minds eye. To help solve this, our brain fills in gaps by supplementing real time data with ‘archived’ information, and by being very selective about where we focus our visual attention. However, while we take short cuts with how we process individual senses, we also augment perception, often unconsciously, with data drawn from other senses. Well, Psychology supported by reliable experimental evidence, whilst Pseudoscience not. That’s why the sixth sense is nonsense in Psychology. Although my rational mind said, there’s no sixth sense, but yes I believe human brain has power to develop the common sense gets more sensitive, which I called it intuition. The pineal gland is the part of the brain that empowers what is known as the “extra sense” and other paranormal abilities. It is also the center of bliss sensations. Academic scientific researches considered the pineal gland as a neuroanatomical structure without special metaphysical qualities; science studied it as one endocrine gland among many. |
