YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe eyes are the window to the soul — especially the left one, according to a neuroscientist. NY Post reporter Alexandra Klausner shares this story.
Dr. Tara Swart, senior lecturer at Massachusetts Institute at Technology (MIT), said looking in your date’s left eye can strengthen an emotional connection.
Swart used a mother holding her baby as an example of how emotional bonds are first formed through the eyes.
“Most people are right-handed so they’ll be holding their baby in their left arm, so they can use their dominant hand to do stuff,” she told Steven Bartlet, the host of The Diary of a CEO podcast.
“That means when you gaze at your baby, your right eye is looking at their left and then that interaction from the optic nerve is going around the brain,” the best-selling author of “The Source: The Secrets of the Universe, the Science of the Brain” continued.
She then went on to explain how staring in a person’s left eye triggers the part of the brain responsible for emotion.
“It’s impacting the amygdala, where emotions come from. It’s creating this emotional resonance loop that’s part of how the mother and baby bond,” she explained.
