eli5: How are we able to sense someone looking at us/standing too close?

339 viewsBiologyOther

I just thought it was funny how you could be minding your business, then instinctively turn to the side and see someone turning away cause they were looking at you. You probably had no clue someone was looking at you, but you turned your head to look directly at someone who was anyway. How does this happen?

For me at least it’s the presence of the person displacing open air/empty space and subtly changing the ambient noise in the area.
