Phantom Text Syndrome


phantom text syndrome, or pts, is an acute neurological phenomenon characterized by thinking you have received a text from someone (i.e. by vibration or sound indicator) when actually nothing has occurred. recently coined by world-renowned psychologist gustav kuznetsova, pts is now accepted by the american psychological -ssociation.
