In fact, a good story will create such a reality in the listeners mind, that the neural pathways are exactly the same as if it was really happening. uuuh we stan a half-vulcan icon perfectionist writing we gettin there boys reader is female sorry boys the shit hits the fan author enjoys creating wacky aliens spock just generally being handsome this isnt just about spock i promise lol author can only apparently write while half asleep so blease forgive any spelling mistakes New.

Annette Simmons, in her book A Safe Place for Dangerous Truths, makes this connection between communication and the Vulcan mind meld. We literally get on the same wavelength (for those wanting to geek out – check the fMRI images below). al., in their research “ Speaker-listener neural coupling underlies successful communication” demonstrate that when communication is at its best, our brain patterns mirror one another and synchronize. This ability can Expose the target, so the target will take bonus damage if hit with an Exploit Attack. This ability only works on targets that are alive and will not work on mechanical or otherwise artificial targets. Sometimes this was to extract information that someone would rather not give up, other times to help others work through some issue that only linked minds could solve.įor those unfamiliar with this, the “ Vulcan mind meld is a telepathic link between two individuals, allowing for the exchange of thoughts, thus in essence allowing the participants to become one mind.”īut research shows that getting two people on the same brain wavelengths is not science fiction.
