For many years, scientists have tried to solve the riddle - how does a person "notice" someone else's gaze? Based on the latest research, they managed to find out that this feature is genetically determined.
Almost every person has ever felt a stranger's gaze on themselves. This feeling is difficult to explain, sometimes it is associated with extrasensory abilities. However, as a result of the conducted research, it became clear that humans are not the only creatures with such abilities. For example, primates also sense when someone is looking at them.
Other experiments have shown that with similar abilities one can only be born. For example, a newborn looks at others with an exceptionally direct gaze during the first five days of his life. People with autism spectrum disorders have eye contact impairments. Therefore, it will be more difficult for them to grasp the views of other people.
The direction of a person's gaze can be easily guessed, unlike predators. This is due to the different structure of the eyeball, as well as the large amount of protein around the eyeball.
