Why do you sometimes feel someone peeking?

This is the explanation of the "6th sense" scientists think many people own.

Many people once felt and met someone who was looking at me even though they were not in sight. Is it a psychological phenomenon or is it really the sixth sense?

Dr. Harriet Dempsey-Jones from the Department of Neurology (Oxford University, UK) thinks this is just a "magic trick" of the brain.

The structure of the human eye meets the search for the right eye from a young age. Not only that, human eyes have large white whites that help identify the direction of others. This is a mechanism to encourage communication, and also a foundation for social skills.

The structure of the human eye meets the search for the right eye from a young age.

With such conditions, it is easy to know whether the people around are watching me or not without looking directly into their eyes, thanks to the analysis of space and direction of rotation as well as body movement.

However, these judgments are not necessarily true. The reason is that in some cases, the human brain often receives excessively sensitive information to identify threats. But what about the eyes of the person behind the back, which is completely not in sight? Does humans have a sixth sense?

The truth is not so. Through many experiments, the researchers found that people who are more likely to follow others are more sensitive. Most importantly, every time you turn your back on suspicion, reflexive people will look up at the person in front of you.

Those who have a habit of tracking other people are more sensitive.

In addition, these "catch-up" times will stay in memory longer than those that come back and see no one even if the probability of both events is equivalent. So in addition to the reason for the structure and the natural way of the human eye, the feeling like this supernatural power is just a kind of biased bias due to the memory selected to keep looking at "catches the eye ". thieves.
