A hypothesis paper proposing that the feeling of being stared at, the basis of 'evil eye' beliefs, may rest on a real electrical signal. Using an electrode inside shielded goggles, the author records low-voltage brainwave activity emitted through the eye, distinct from forehead EEG, and proposes studies to test the idea.
