The psychic staring effect (sometimes called scopaesthesia) is the claimed #extrasensory ability of a person to detect being #stared at. The idea was first explored by psychologist #EdwardBTitchener in 1898 after students in his junior classes reported being able to "feel" when somebody was looking at them, even though they could not see this person. Titchener performed a series of laboratory experiments that found only negative results.
