(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Many of us have reached in our pockets, feeling a vibration¹, wrongly believing our mobile phones have just rung.

许多人都曾有过这样的错觉：觉得手机在振动，于是去口袋拿手机，结果手机根本没响。

The phenomenon even has a name: "phantom² vibration syndrome³" - and found it is surprisingly common.

Now scientists believe that we are so alert for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms⁴ as proof of a call.

Robert Rosenberger, an assistant professor at the Georgia Tech Institute of Technology has studied the delusional⁵ calls.

He said sufferers describe a vague tingling⁶ feeling which they think is their mobile phone indicating it has received a text message or call while on "silent".

But when the device is retrieved⁷, there was no one on the other end.

Dr Rosenberger said "I find so many people say, 'This happens to me, but I thought I was the only one, I thought I was weird⁸.'"

It seems that the syndrome particularly affects people at the beck and call of mobile phones or pagers.
