Good vibes



There is some evidence that our nervous systems can detect the "emotional residue" in a room: volunteers in a study in the Netherlands were able to pick up on fear, disgust, and happiness after people feeling those emotions left the room.⁠

Chemosignals are present in sweat and tears, and though we cannot consciously smell or describe them, when we are exposed to them, our faces tend to take on the same expressions as the person who experienced the emotion. ⁠

I don’t think you necessarily need science to make something real-- but next time you feel "good vibes" or "bad vibes" in a space-- there is research backing you up! ⁠
