Ever felt like someone *looked at you* and you just knew what they meant?
Science shows that eye contact isn’t random — it follows a hidden sequence.
Researchers found the most effective pattern when you need help:
👀 Look at the object → 👁 Make eye contact → 👀 Look back at the object
That’s the sequence our brains are wired to understand.
It signals: “I need your help *with this specific thing.*”
It works even when a robot does it — our brains respond the same.
🧠 Why it matters:
→ Eye contact is a nervous system language.
→ Timing matters more than intensity.
→ And your body knows this pattern *even when your mind doesn’t.*
Try it today and notice how often people use it without realizing.
Inside CORE, I break down more of these hidden cues — and how to use them to self-regulate, not just communicate.
