摘要

摘要本文证明，无需借助外来假说来解释梦中飞行。从生物物理学的角度来看，"梦中飞行 "现象是基于已经研究过的人体适应机制和昼夜节律。在睡眠过程中，大脑的兴奋阈值会发生变化；这使得某些脑区更容易激发微弱的信号。这种兴奋的机制之一是人在睡眠中改变姿势时，大脑在快速眼动睡眠阶段将其感知为体重的减轻。在某些条件下，这会导致大脑出现飞行幻觉。

On the Illusion of Flying in Dreams: The Mechanism of its Occurrence

It is shown that there is no need to resort to exoteric hypotheses to explain flight in a dream. From the standpoint of biophysics, the phenomenon of “flying in a dream” is based on the already studied adaptive mechanisms and circadian rhythms of the human body. During sleep, the brain’s excitation thresholds change; this makes it easier in some brain areas to excite weak signals. One of the mechanisms of such excitation occurs when a person changes his posture during sleep, which is perceived by the brain in the rapid eye movement sleep phase as a decrease in body weight. This, under certain conditions, can contribute to the appearance in the brain of the illusion of flight.

期刊介绍： Biophysics is a multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal that covers a wide scope of problems related to the main physical mechanisms of processes taking place at different organization levels in biosystems. It includes structure and dynamics of macromolecules, cells and tissues; the influence of environment; energy transformation and transfer; thermodynamics; biological motility; population dynamics and cell differentiation modeling; biomechanics and tissue rheology; nonlinear phenomena, mathematical and cybernetics modeling of complex systems; and computational biology. The journal publishes short communications devoted and review articles.
