Default Re: Serious question about ESP (I don\'t mean psychic or anything silly)

I think it is simply the brain processing peripheral vision
and acting upon it; don't forget that so much information is
visual and there is a lot of information that we take for
granted. For example, with my eyes opened there must be
billons of photons striking my retina every second.

Somehow, our brains are able to tell that something in the
periphery requires some immediate attention! Obviously this
is no proof, but certainly it seems quite testable in a
controlled setting. Perhaps this has been already examined?
