what is actually happening psychologically/physiologically when you have a “gut feeling” about something?
In: Biology
Basically, your body is picking up on extremely subtle clues like motion, smell, facial expressions, etc. and although they’re not registering consciously, your brain is still using them to form an impression of a situation and sending you that feedback. The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker touches on this phenomenon, but take it with a grain of salt as it was written 30 years ago and some chapters are off base from current views.
