This may not be worth a new thread and in any case I don't know how to post one yet. I guess in this forum I am not yet "evolutionarily fit".
I have much evidence that people know when they are being stared at.
I have statistical evidence for the existence of ESP but I cannot find the right search terms to get similar strong evidence for this "eye beam" effect.
Can you (in the collective sense) help?
TIA.
You messed up the reply. To reply to a comment, click the baloon icon that tips "Reply" under the comment you wish to respond to, and do that for every comment: do not make another comment to the same thread grouping all the responses and inverting quotation. That is why you got heavily downvoted.
OTOH, you got downvoted here because it's common, if you want to hold an extraordinary position, to present solid evidence. Instead, you asked for help to gather strong evidence for some of your beliefs. In this case how can you say that you have much evidence for that belief? It's contradictory.
Willing to place a bet that this will not pan out in a controlled setting.
Given my prior on ESP working, betting against it is roughly equivalent to "yes I would like some free money."
It's a little more precise: "give me money or go away."
This site gives references to a number of studies.
EDIT: Relevant, and supports that this is a real skill.
The study on the second link refers to peripheral vision, which is not ESP.
No, sorry -- it supports that you can tell when someone is staring at you, if they are within your extreme peripheral vision.
No request was made specifically for ESP.
What exactly do you mean with "evidence" and with "stared at"?
Did you run your own experiments? If so what was your setup?
What statistical evidence do you have for ESP?
