Emotions are transmitted over a network of mirror neurons, which is part of the brain. It is due to its function, we are able to empathize with others and to understand their feelings. For the same reason, when next someone yawns, irresistible urge to yawn may occur and you - getting into the act mirror neurons.
Mirror neurons (Eng. mirror neurons, ital. neuroni specchio) - Brain neurons that fire both when performing certain actions, and in monitoring the implementation of the actions of other beings.
Your brain picks up the signals sent by the other person's body at the opposite end of the room: "I'm tired." However, the brain is susceptible not only to these indicators, the state, as a smile or a yawn. Apart from them, like the passive smokers, we are able to receive in your e-sided negativity and stress.
Howard Friedman (Howard Friedman) and Ronald Ridge (Ronal Riggio), researchers from the University of California, Riverside, have set: if next to you man worried or remains in a state of agitated (this can occur and nonverbally), the likelihood that you will experience the same feelings, it will be extremely high.

Stress can wait for us everywhere: in the cab, where no-no and even come across harmful drove in office, where your colleagues or your boss does not come always with a smile on his face, but in any public place - agree that someone's mood, good or not, there is almost always physically.

" If he sees him entering the doctor, troubled emotions, or at least a little excited, the voltage literally hang in the air, and all the supposedly bad signs (they can think of nothing) the patient is required to take on a score. On the contrary, the staff radiating positive, immediately associated more with confidence professional or hope for a speedy recovery.
