The Sense of Being Stared At
Nevertheless, when the lookers and subjects are in the same room, it is difficult to eliminate the possibility that the effect depends on subtle auditory or even olfactory clues. In order to test these possibilities, I have carried out experiments, described in this paper, in which the lookers and subjects were separated by closed windows, effectively eliminating any possible role of smells or sounds. In these experiments the subjects were also blindfolded and deprived of feedback. I also describe the results of independent tests carried out at my request in Canada, Germany and the United States.
