Staring Into Someone’s Eyes For 10 Minutes Can Create Unusual Effects!

#1

We can and actually do stare at our loved one's eyes. But for 10 minutes! It's really a crazy thought. In a recent research, it has been seen that staring at someone's eyes for 10 minutes can actually have some weird effects on the person.

#2 the Research

This research was carried on by psychologist Giovanni Caputo. He hired 20 people for the task and among them 15 were women. He formed pairs among them and make them sit in a room that was dimly lit up. The task of the members was really easy. They only needed to stare at their respective partners for 10 minutes. While they were staring at each others' face, they needed to uphold a neutral expression in their face.

In another room, other 20 youth were asked to sit. Even that room was lit dimly. There, those people were asked to stare at the wall instead of staring at the partners.

After 10 minutes all these people were given out questionnaires that they needed to answer. The first 18 questions were on the dissociative states and the other part contained about their experience while they stared at their partners' face and the wall.

#4 The effects!

The people staring at the face shared that they have a compelling effect like the sounds seems to be softer, the color intensity being decreasing and the time seemed to be dragging on. And they even share that they have seen a monster or else their own faces on the partners' face. These scored more than the ones who were staring at the wall.
