Title: Yawns are contagious!!! Does this make you Yawn?
Post by: Salman on Sun, 06 April 2014, 03:35:59
They say yawns are contagious. If you read, hear or see somebody yawn, you will also yawn.
Does the pic below make you yawn? Yes/No?

First time I saw this thread, I thought to myself "nope" and didn't yawn.

Came back after viewing some more spy posts, and yawned. $@#!. Why am I browsing GH at 2am?  :p

For some reason it makes me really want to yawn when I see it, but don't feel like I have to yawn at all. I didn't yawn, but my brain is just telling me "come on man do it", as opposed to when a person actually yawns near me and I I feel like I have to yawn.

I can understand this feeling but I guess this is because you are consciously controlling yourself!!!

If I yawn in front of my cat while she is sitting around, she will often yawn back.

No, but it is a real thing. Interesting research around it.

It's somehow correlated with the sound, and also the visuals of the mouth in specific.
