Nine of 10 people suffer from “phantom vibration syndrome” – where they mistakenly think their mobile phone is vibrating in their pocket – it has been claimed.

Dr Robert Rosenberger, philosopher and assistant professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, said the phenomenon was caused by “learned bodily habits.”

Research, published in the Computers in Human Behaviour journal, suggests that by person leaving a phone in their pocket it becomes “part of their body” in the same way that wearing glasses can, as it is easy to forget they are there.

“People then perceive other sensations such as movement of clothing of muscle spasms as vibrations from your mobile, but it’s just a hallucination,” said the professor.

In an interview with the BBC, he said: “One recent study of undergraduates reports that 90 per cent of them say that they’ve experienced these phantom vibrations.”

Causes:

The cause of phantom vibrations is not known.^[9] Preliminary research suggests it is related to over-involvement with one’s cell phone.^[9] Vibrations typically begin occurring after carrying a phone for between one month and one year.^[9] It has been suggested that, when anticipating a phone call, the cerebral cortex may misinterpret other sensory input (such as muscle contractions, pressure from clothing, or music) as a phone vibration or ring tone.^[9] This may be understood as a human signal detection issue, with potentially significant influences from psychological attributes.^[14] Factors such as experiences, expectations, and psychological states influence the threshold for signal detection.^[14] Some phantom vibration experiences may be a type of pareidolia and can therefore be examined as a psychological phenomenon influenced by individual variances in personality, condition, and context.^[14] Attachment anxiety can also be seen as a predictor for the frequency of phantom vibration experiences since it is associated with psychological attributes related to insecurity in interpersonal relationships.

Management:

Little research has been done on treatment for phantom vibrations.^[9] Carrying the cell phone in a different position reduces phantom vibrations for some people.^[9] Other methods include turning off the vibration, changing the ringtone or vibration tone, or using a different device altogether.
