is there really any? when you are looking at someone they notice it and in return look at you. many times when apparently no one is around you get a feeling that someone is watching you, now what causes that feeling that someone is watching you?
eyes supposedly do not transmit anything nor do they intercept and reduce the power/strength/intensity of light present in atmosphere. what causes one to think that someone is watching? is there a transmitter in “eye” and a sensor to sense it?
i think that's cuz that although u don't focus on the other person watching u, in the corner of ur eyes subconciously you pick up the other person watching u.....and that triggers ur attention to that.

many times you turn around to find that someone is staring at you, so its not just the corner of your eye which picks up any "watcher".

i think that's a bias. You often expect someone to stare at you, thats why u do it.
If you really could do an experiment where ppl do not have prior knowledge of the chance someone is watching they could find the difference.
It's the sixth sense, not the corner of the eye

i don't believe it. Please explain a bit more how it works
i dono abt guys but i think all females can sense when someone is looking at em 
its like you get this strong vibe in ur brain…i dono what it is
waisae eyes r quite powerful bollywood song lyrics r proof of that…har agla song is abt eyes
in fact aaj kal to eyes can be used as a replacement for guns
haven’t u guys heard the song…AKHIYON SE GOLI MARAY 
irem: bollywood films are not exactly my primary source of scientific information
Nes, I can't explain it. I can however tell you that sometimes the person staring at you is no way in the frame of your eye, corner or no corner ... but you can still feeling their presence. That feeling has nothing to do with what you see .. but what you sences pick up. It's not the smell, or voice of a person behind. It's just a feeling ..
You are the doctor, you tell me.
^there you have it! you yourself say that somehow you can 'feel' their presence. that's something different than you seeing that person or s/he sending out 'eye-waves' or so.
my speculation would be that either you somehow 'know' beforehand that that person is in the room and you expect that person looking at you. and by the time you turn around and look at that person, s/he has started looking at you to see what ur doing.
or
it might be that somehow 'feromones' (=a special kind of external hormones one might say) reach yuor nose and unconsciously you find out that a person is in the room
It could be the hormones but I don't think I feel from my nose.

perhaps you think you 'felt' their presence but actually you 'smell' them

No NesCio, "feel presence" is entirely different from "smelling presence" ;) . As AJ mentioned above, some people have 5.1 senses, some have 5.9 and some full 6th sense, but that deals with "presence" or somehow "forthcoming" issue not necessarily "feel the look".
I'm willing to believe that the answer lies in pheromones (Nescio, note the spelling :p )

stupid Brits: y use an extra letter, when an 'f' gives the same thing as 'ph' :p
I don't know if I should open a different thread or use the same for slightly connected issue : Telepathy.
Recently I heard that some institute is about to start a full department of "telepathy". Anyone believes in that?
telepathy seems a very awkward phenomenon. i'm sceptic about it. But let's wait and see what happens
Anyone believes in that?
I do! I do!
Its called "Extra Sensory perception"
Changez_like yes u're near.......just that telepathy is controlled.....while ESP aint!
