A new study reveals how being watched affects unconscious processing in our brain.

Being watched can provoke psychological discomfort and physical fight-or-flight responses.

The findings raise concerns about our collective mental health, researchers say.

On a conscious level, we behave differently when we are watched.

People in the "watched" group perceived faces faster and more accurately than those in the control group.

Being watched drives this hardwired survival mechanism into overdrive, says Seymour .

The toll could be worse for people with schizophrenia, who, Seymour 's research suggests, may be hypersensitive to others' gaze.
