Another original study this week on the face this is my health Interview with Géraldine Zamansky, reporter for France 5 Health magazine.
franceinfo: In the wake of cheek sensitivity and diagnosing disease through facial temperature, a Danish study is interested in the mechanisms that make us blush?
Geraldine Zamanski: Yes, this time it’s teenagers who are being mobilized in the hope that this age group we often feel embarrassed about will increase the chances of seeing them blush during the experience. Step One: Get filmed while they sing karaoke. Step Two: Watch this video and videos from other volunteers while having an MRI of your head.
Yes, the teenagers’ brains were probed in detail as they watched their disastrous performance, as the researchers chose songs that were impossible to master on the first try. shame. Especially because they know that other members of the team have also seen their failures, as Dr. Milica Nikolic, founder of the program at the University of Amsterdam, explained to me.
So, apparently, mission accomplished: they’re blushing!
Yes, as expected, as they stare at each other and sing. This is scientifically measured by an increase in cheek temperature. and MRI finds parts of cerebellum activated.
However, as Dr. Nikolic explained to me, this specific area is known to aid in emotion management, specifically automatic empathy for people with whom we can identify. Or here, in the film, to myself.
But without “awakening” networks to reflect and analyze relationships with others, there is nothing. Therefore, through a primitive emotional reaction, the red rather rises to the cheeks. Instead of following a subtle analysis of the image we can give in front of this or that person.
So the fact that you blush easily doesn’t reflect that your brain is more “worried” than the average other person would judge?
Not at all, but it may put pressure on the area, making the blush worse. And then some people develop real social phobia. Sometimes relaxation or meditation techniques can slow the vicious cycle.
But the next step in Dr. Nikolic’s research won’t be to evaluate their effectiveness: She first wants to know at what age do we start blushing, before or after our first birthday? When will we realize this is embarrassing or helpful, as this is another reason for increased color in the cheekbones, but this study puts that aside.
