Описание: Why Do We Yawn When Others Yawn? | The Brain Science Explained

Ever wondered why you yawn when someone else yawns? It's not just about being tired—there's fascinating brain science behind contagious yawning.

In this video, we explore:

✅ Why yawning isn't really about oxygen
✅ How yawning helps regulate brain temperature
✅ The social brain networks that make yawns "contagious"
✅ Why some people catch yawns more than others
✅ What contagious yawning reveals about empathy and social connection

You'll discover that contagious yawning is actually a form of social synchronization, controlled by mirror neurons and perception-action coupling in the brain. It's stronger when you're connected to the person yawning, and it's part of how humans naturally coordinate in groups.
