Hypervigilance

Friday, March 2, 2007

It's a psychological thing. If you THINK hard enough about your heart you will begin to feel it's beat.
I just tried an experiment and thought about my heartbeat in my head. Sure enough after 10 seconds I could feel each heartbeat in my cranium.

It's akin to tinnitus. Ask anyone to listen hard for it and lo and behold almost everyone will start to hear some ear noises.

Technically, the term is "hypervigilance."
