Why do you have to dance in the elevator when you rush to the bathroom? Watching cats or memes doesn't help distract you, you need movement. He asked, moving from foot to foot, in short: - The bladder monopolizes the inhibitory resources of the brain, and it is easier to control itself.

- The conflict "I want to, but I'm in the elevator" spills out into rhythmic movements.

- The movements themselves mechanically trigger a reflex that suppresses the detrusor muscle. Now let's go to work! There is a hypothesis that if you want to go to the bathroom, it is easier to pass a lie detector. There is a ripple effect - different types of self-control (e.g. control of emotions, thoughts or physiology) use the same neural networks in the brain. And if you make a person really want to go to the bathroom, will that help them be less nervous when they lie? They took 22 students, gave half of them water, waited 45 minutes and conducted interviews about Holliver. In the second stage, a group of 118 students watched these videos and tried to guess whether the person on the screen was lying or telling the truth.

- Liars with a full bladder behaved much more naturally and used longer sentences. Normally, when lying, speech becomes more primitive due to brain overload, but along the way, the bladder has provided a resource for constructing beautiful stories.

- The accuracy in identifying lies of this nature dropped from the usual 47% to 28%. "A full bladder had almost no effect on those who told the truth. " They just looked a little more worried, but believed them. The weak point of the work of psychologists, as usual, is the s*** sample. There wasn't much pressure (you weren't jailed for your beliefs after expressing your beliefs), so it was warm and cozy to lie. Well, if you give people a little more water, the cognitive functions go down - the patient will start making his way to the toilet at least crawling. The correct dosage could not be precisely calibrated. Here they solved a subtle but important problem for MS patients. It destroys the nerve pathways.
