Just to update this topic for the early 2000's (oh yeah, that happened) ...

I've always had a peripheral vision that seems to analyze, process, and identify potential threats. This is my lizard brain processing more relevant and recent input.

I see that one guy looking at me for no reason, more than one time. Maybe following my actions. Didnt I see him before on the block over? I perceive this as a threat and watch him closely.

This instinct comes from parts of your pre-Cambrian brain, its very impulsive and you tend to listen to it a lot. It tells you when a deal isn't as good as advertised on TV, and it lets you know that girl or guy really just wants free drinks.

The BG scan goes back millennia- its tied to your fight or flee impulse, the most primitive driver of them all.

So pay attention- you are highly attended to these threats- it's when you ignore them at the real trouble begins.
