You know that feeling you get when you are being watched? Some say it's bollocks, it's just your imagination or whatever, what if there's a scientific basis for this? For the sake of argument, pretend there is a scientific basis for this. How would you attempt to investigate this phenomena?
If it's detectable by the brain, then it is certainly detectable by instruments.
The problem is, it takes electrodes pressed right up to your scalp in order to pick anything up with instruments and your brain is a hell of a lot closer to you than anyone else's brain. So it is like trying to listen to someone whisper ten feet away with a boombox at full volume pressed against your head.
