When people go on a first date, they generally know fairly quickly whether or not there is a spark.<\/p>\n

Individuals are always looking for an instant connection and are prone to forming opinions in a very short period of time.<\/p>\n

Now it seems there is a reason for this, as scientists from Trinity College Dublin have found there is a part of the brain that chooses who we will be romantically attracted to.<\/p>\n

Some 78 women and 73 men, all heterosexual and single, took part in a speed dating event and some had their brains scanned beforehand.<\/p>\n

In 63 per cent of cases, a person's initial, photo-based interest in meeting a person was backed up by their five-minute speed date.<\/p>\n

It was also found that two parts of the brain's dorsomedial prefrontal cortex could predict if people were going to pursue any of the individuals they met during the event.<\/p>\n
