What if every touch and every blow that another person receives you felt on your own body? For most of us, empathy is an emotion, but for people with mirror-tactile synesthesia, mental boundaries do not exist.
In this Shorts, we look into the archives of the 19th-century French Salpêtrière clinic and analyze the neurobiology of this phenomenon. You will learn why the somatosensory cortex of synesthetes works without “fuses”, how evolution has rewired our social brain and why super-empathy can be accompanied by flashes of color and sensory overdose.
🎬 A BIG RESEARCH ON THE MYSTERIES AND TRAPS OF THE SOCIAL BRAIN IS NOW ON THE SINGULARITY CHANNEL!
