Men a little more than women.
Some people have peculiarities that – it must be said – are useless except to amaze their friends in the evening. But “talent” would be much more useful. “”It’s a rare super-power“Insists Dr. Monica Kieu, visual surgeon, because only 20% of people have this capacity according to a study published in the journal Perceptual & Motor Skills. Men a little more than women.
This peculiarity is a vestige inherited from the monkeys which are used to locate sounds precisely to detect predators and prey. As human beings, we have today lost the need to have such a fine hearing. However, this physical capacity persists in some people offering them a major advantage: that of having better plasticity of the brain, report researchers from Monash University in Australia. This neuroplasticity would help repair or regenerate the damaged brains and thus better recover after a stroke (stroke) or a head trauma. This is of course a hypothesis which must be confirmed by other studies. But “If it turns out to be true, it could become a medical rehabilitation tool“Continue researchers in their study published on Medical hypotheses.
This peculiarity is the ability to move your ears from top to bottom or from front to back. These ear movements are only possible if the person is able to control their three ear muscles simultaneously. Each of these muscles is responsible for a different movement: the anterior atrial muscle draws the ear forward, the upper atrial muscle lifts it slightly and the posterior atrial muscle pulls it backwards.
Although the ears stirred is complex, “Anyone can learn to do it in front of a mirror, because the necessary muscles and nerves are already in place in everyone“, Specify the researchers. With training and focusing on the movement of the muscles, it is quite possible. There is also a safe bet that you are already trying …
