TED/Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology

Do you believe in the Sixth Sense? Sometimes a chill may results in goose bumps, or a sudden sense of deja vu, that's the sixth sense. There's also rumor that when people say bad things behind you back, you sneeze; the elders have also mentioned about the bad feeling if your eyelids keep dancing. 

These are the sixth sense, but I don't really believe in any one of them. To me, they can be taken into consideration, or laugh by like jokes. However, to treat them seriously... I can't promise that.

For example, in the morning when you get ready to go to work, all of a sudden the eyelids start to wiggle like crazy, would you really call off the day for you have a six sense that something bad is going to happen? I suppose that most people won't, and they are prone to see an orthodontist about their queer eye behavior.

However, in the recent years, there are suggesting proposals that sometimes Sixth Sense is indeed right, which motions the inner feeling of someone. In order to dig more about the information, there came several experiments, about putting people in both harmonious and devastating environments, just to see that whether their sixth sense can really generate a kind of pre-warning to ward off danger.

The results proved to be pretty satisfying, according to the statistics, most of the people successfully executed certain amount of "Sixth Sense" before they know that danger is really coming. It's not that they have gained sudden superic powers, but they got all tensed up, with their muscles bulging and a sudden sweat burst. And that's the sixth sense working.

After proving that Sixth Sense is a really potential topic, scientist are now doing more experiments about the subject, and hoping to turn it into a kind of useful technology, like self defensing system or wards for examples.
