Auxin Posted September 18, 2014 No, its psychological. Seeing videos of yawning or thinking about yawning easily triggers it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Optimystic Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) digging a little deeper on the topic of empathy neurons, I found this link someone shared a while back ... im not sure how much of it I subscribe to but I found it interesting nonetheless... I think the question is, do some ppl actually feel the feelings of others or is it in fact an illusion with internal implications... or maybe for some yes, for others no,,, shrugshttp://mysilentecho.com/dreamtongue1.htm Edited September 18, 2014 by Spine Collector Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machineelf Posted September 24, 2014 Myself and a friend noticed yawning is contagious over the phone even when one person doesnt hear the other yawn. That was strange. It first started with audible yawning but then I yawned without hearing her and asked "did you just yawn?". "Yes". This happened several times. It was beyond coincidence.
