About this listen

What happens when we think we are being watched? The spine-tingling, hair-raising knowledge that no one is in sight, but we know something is there.

Studies indicate that when we feel we're being watched, our brains don't just notice — they switch into full security mode. There is a widespread neural network dedicated solely to the process of gaze.

The fine line between what our brain does scientifically and what happens when the sixth sense kicks in isn't very different — one is happening in real time, while the other exists in a suspended world where the brain continues to interpret what the eyes perceive, and vice versa.

Join me today at the gateway, where fiction touches on science, and the extraordinary lies just beneath the surface of the everyday.
