"From self-service checkouts to public streets to stadiums – surveillance
technology is everywhere.
This pervasive monitoring is often justified in the name of safety and
security.
But our recent study, published in
Neuroscience of Consciousness, reveals a
disturbing side effect. Surveillance isn’t just changing our behaviour – it’s
altering how our brains process information, operating largely outside our
awareness.
Our research shows that simply knowing we are being watched can unconsciously
heighten our awareness of other people’s gaze. These findings have potentially
significant implications for mental health and social interaction.
They also urge for a deeper consideration of how constant monitoring might
shape us – not just consciously, but also in the silent circuitry of our
brains."
