Is there any research on the phenomenon of looking at your phone and then receiving a call/text as soon as you look at it?

>> No.5848033

can't remember that happening to me.
And logically, you can at best find out correlation on when people are free to use their phones.

>> No.5848039

Happens to me all the time.
I assume it's because the phone vibrates for half a second or so before it starts ringing and such.

>> No.5848053

>>5848039
my phone is on silent 100% of the time.

i seem to remember some article positing that the signal going to your phone is interpreted by the brain enough so that you form a sort of pavlovian connection between checking your phone and whatever your brain feels.

>> No.5848068

you know how your speakers bzz several times if your phone is next to them before it rings?

Well what happens when your phone gets a all, is it does not ring right away. When it detects a signal with it's code in it, first thing it does is drastically increase it's signal power, and send back a confirmation that it has received the signal. This process takes like 1/2 -1 second.

It may be possible your body recognizes this signal somehow, and over time Pavlovian response takes over. The signal is pretty strong when your phone is next to you, the initial signal it sends to confirm is stronger than while you are talking on the phone as well, it's like an electronic shout. Then the phone reduces signal power to a lowest efficient level.

it's definitely possible. oscillatory frequencies of RF-EMFs correspond to some of the oscillation frequencies recorded in neuronal tissue and could interfere with neuronal activity

neat. kind of explains two phenomena (speaker sound and possibly body recognition).

It's not an assertion, you fool. It's a hypothesis.

A hypothesis, without any evidence, is just an assertion about why something might be the case.

>> No.5848222

>>5848218
Assertion:
1. A confident and forceful statement of fact or belief: "his assertion that his father had deserted the family".

Hypothesis:
1. A supposition or proposed explanation m>>5848218
ade on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

Conclusion: No. You are wrong and you should feel bad.

>on the basis of limited evidence
A hypothesis requires (some) evidence. Until you produce any it remains just some bullshit idea you made up

>> No.5848232

>>5848225
Limited does not imply existence.
Besides, that was only the first definition, the second fits far better.
2. A proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.

holy shit, are you autists really jerking your own egos this hard over nothing.

Right like the one guy said, I simply stated that the cellular frequency might induce a pavlonian response by detection of the body. I never even stated that it is direct detection, nor that it actually occurs. We already for a fact know that the body responds to cellular stimuli when it's placed next to a speaker. maybe there are other less obvious sources of stimuli that might be affected by it as well.

how can something be "limited" if it doesn't even exist?

Going by your second statement, almost anything could qualify. I could just as easily say it is because the cellphone network is controlled by telepathic aliens who instil the subconscious desire to look at your phone in you just before they send you a message. And by your own logic, that could not be dismissed offhand.

Maybe that's how quantum healing works, along with placing magnets over your spine and ringing triangles and bells so their waves are in sync with your brain frequency.
