A Valentine, scientists at the University of Granada determined that love up the heat on the cheeks, hands, mouth, chest and genitals held.
Scientists at the University of Granada belonging to the Research Center for Mind, Brain and Behavior have developed a method based on thermal imaging, which allows objectively determine whether a person is in love or not, as reported Friday University Granada.
This work has determined the temperature changes experienced by the body of the participants as they contemplate the image of the beloved. It is, according to its authors, the first “thermal map of Love” being performed. For example, the results have shown that love raises the temperature on the cheeks, hands, mouth area, chest and genitals between one and two degrees Celsius.
Scientists have analyzed thermal differences that occurred between people who watched pictures of your partner in front of others who were exposed to another type of image that generated them some emotional responses such as anxiety, calm or empathy, but not romantic.
work have been involved 60 healthy people, men and women aged 24 to 47, who claimed to be in love with romantic mode (with passion and intimacy) and have started a few weeks earlier relationship. After accessing Thermography Laboratory, participants remained naked for 20 minutes to acclimatise, then proceeded to register your base temperature.
In different sessions, the experimental group saw on the computer screen photos chosen by themselves from their relationship, compared to the control group, which looked at photos that generate anxiety called the International Affective Picture System, or photographs of family and friends.
Although the authors have warned that ” thermal pattern of love is very complex, “as it includes the coexistence or not of passion and sexual desire, against the dominance of intimacy and empathy or commitment and the social contract. For example, the results showed that love raises the temperature on the cheeks, hands, mouth area, chest and genitals between one and two degrees Celsius.
In recent years, Thermography Laboratory researchers at the University of Granada, led by professors Emilio Gomez Milan and Tornay Francisco Mejías, have built the thermal map of complex feelings such as love, happiness or empathy, but also basic emotions such as joy , sadness, fear or anger.
Milan Gómez explained that “thermography indicates that passion raises the temperature in the hands and face, while empathy (the ability to tune the other as a subject, not only as an object of desire) low, especially in the nose. “
it is as if the passion was” an accelerant to light our body and empathy a brake activation, “he said the researcher, who explains that, in short, romantic love would be a mixture of passion with empathy
