Why You Get That Gut Instinct You’re Being Watched

Do you ever get that feeling you’re being watched? Turns out it’s not because you have some kind of supernatural sixth sense. Our brain just has this mysterious ability to “sense” what’s going on around us without actually seeing it. Okay, so that kind of sounds like a supernatural sixth sense, but it’s not. Everyone gets this feeling, and there’s actually a psychological reason for it. To understand this better, let’s start by taking a look at the term blindsight. What Is Blindsight? Blindsight refers to people who are unable to see because of damage to the visual cortex, the part of the brain responsible for conscious vision. In other words, their eyes are perfectly healthy. The reason these people can’t see is because their visual cortex is unable to process the information they’re seeing.
