LONDON (Reuters) - Stimulating a certain area of the brain can produce a creepy feeling that someone is watching you when no one is, scientists said Wednesday. Swiss researchers made the discovery while evaluating a young woman for surgery to treat epilepsy...When they electrically stimulated the left temporoparietal junction in her brain, which is linked to self-other distinction and self-processing, she thought someone was standing behind her. If they repeated the stimulus while she leaned forward and grabbed her knees she had an unpleasant sensation that the shadowy figure was embracing her..."Our findings may be a step toward understanding the mechanisms behind psychiatric manifestations such as paranoia, persecution and alien control," said Olaf Blanke, of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, in the journal Nature...

A bit of irrelevant lyric intersperesed here:
Within Temptation - The Swan Song
Winter has come for me, can't carry on
The chains to my life are strong
but soon they'll be gone
I'll spread my wings one more time
Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name
The sun warms my face
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by
In my heart I know I can let go
In the end I will find some peace inside
New wings are growing tonight
Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name
The sun warms my face
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by
As I am soaring I'm one with the wind
I am longing to see you again, it's been so long
We will be together again
Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name
The sun warms my face
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by
