well where do you research then, is there some magic researching well that I don't know about, is there some unwritten rule about quoting from the internet
If you’ve ever felt like someone was watching you, you may have attributed that awareness to a sense of unease or a prickling on the back of your neck. But there’s nothing psychic about it; your brain was simply picking up on cues. In fact, your brain is wired to inform you that someone is looking at you — even when they’re not.
“Far from being ESP, the perception originates from a system in the brain that's devoted to detecting where others are looking,” writes social psychologist Ilan Shrira. This concept may sound confusing, but it actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it as a survival instinct. Gaze-Detection System
Many mammals can tell when another animal is looking at them, but the human “gaze-detection system” is particularly good at doing this from a distance. We’re able to easily discern where someone is looking.
This system is especially sensitive when someone is looking at you directly, and studies have found that particular cells fire when this happens.
“Gaze perception — the ability to tell what someone is looking at — is a social cue people often take for granted,” Colin Clifford, a psychologist at the University of Sydney's Vision Center, told the Daily Mail. “Judging whether others are looking at us may come naturally, but it's actually not that simple as our brains have to do a lot of work behind the scenes.” Body Language
When you catch someone looking at you, what is it that clued you in? Often, it’s as simple as the position of the person's head or body.
If both the head and body are turned toward you, it’s clear where the person's attention is focused. It’s even more obvious when the person's body is pointed away from you but their head is facing you. When this happens, you immediately look to the person’s eyes to see where they're looking.
A former government advisor has warned that “people will die” if social distancing measures are not reimposed over the Christmas period.
Professor Neil Ferguson, a former member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), said the government would have to weigh up the “cost versus the benefits” in the coming weeks.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, he said: “It risks some transmission and there will be consequences of that. Some people will die because of getting infected on that day.
“But if it is only one or two days the impact is likely to be limited. So that is really a political judgement about the cost versus the benefits.”
Well the UK is three trillion in debt to date and other countries must be the same, how the hell am i going to pay my cut, ah well, back to the street corner
