Why Do You Feel Like You’re Being Watched?

The video explores the concept of gaze detection, a psychological ability to recognize where others are looking. It highlights the brain's role, particularly the superior temporal sulcus, in processing gaze information. Studies on macaque monkeys and humans reveal how head and gaze orientation are perceived. The video also discusses how peripheral vision affects gaze perception and why we often feel watched, suggesting an evolutionary basis for this assumption.

What is gaze detection and how does it function in the human brain?

Describe the role of the superior temporal sulcus in gaze detection.
