Some may like to read this short press release about a neuropsychological theory explaining what makes some people experience something they describe as an aura?

Dr Jamie Ward, author of the study, says: "A popular notion is that some people have a magical ability to detect the hidden emotions of others by seeing a colourful 'aura' or energy field that they give off. Our study suggests a different interpretation. These colours do not reflect hidden energies being given off by other people, rather they are created entirely in the brain of the beholder."

The reference to the full article is found at the end of the press release.
