Beware! The ghosts are closer than you think... In this episode, we explore how the brain creates paranormal experiences—from sensing a mysterious presence to hearing whispers in silence, it is all a product of the brain. This episode uncovers how fear circuits, prediction glitches, and evolved survival instincts create paranormal experiences—from “presences” to shadowy figures in the dark.

39: Synapses to Soulmates - The Neuroscience of Love & Relationships
Love is a focal point of our favourite movies, music, and most cherished memories. But what really happens in the brain when we fall in love? Is "love at first sight" real? Does the media get it right, or are we being fed myths about what romance really looks like? In this special Valentine's Day episode, we break down the neuroscience of love, attraction, and attachment. From synapses to soulmates, we discuss the neurobiology of falling in love, the role of social media and dating apps, dark sides of love, and the truth behind the "five love languages." We also provide 8 practical tips to improve your own love-life and relationships, based on neuroscience. Whether your a hopeless romanic, skeptical scientist, or just curious about love, we look forward to sharing this knowledge with you. Love, Think Twice.
