It's only a matter of time before someone as unscrupulous as ClearviewAI develops a phrenology tool for identifying psychological disturbances based on "crazy eyes", which will be used extensively by state security services to manufacture suspicion where none is warranted. False positives are a feature not a bug. See, e.g. drug sniffing dogs and [1].
This article will be cited in the marketing material. It will not matter one iota that the research does not actually support that kind of application.
Spend time talking to someone with a false eye. You might not understand why their face seems a little odd. You probably cannot tell which eye is fake (false eyes are far more common than people realize) but you know something is not right.
Was in a trapped situation. Not allowed to leave; flashback to childhood assault.
Started seeing seeing things in effort to get away. Was not really seeing anyone trying to talk to me.
0/10 would not recommend. Also if a person wants to leave a situation, for the love anything, let them.
It's conceivable we could probably do the same with gait and voice analysis for other issues as well.
Having an alcoholic father myself, I know exactly what that line means. It really is a very specific look, though as you say it's hard to explain to someone.
There is a lot of speculation about transpired given conflicting video, police statements and eyewitness accounts. Mrs. Sorensen has since deleted her social media accounts and stopped giving interviews. I saw her appeal to mother's to be more guarded with their children:
“There is no other explanation as to why they were doing that besides they were just building the courage,” Sorensen said. “The gentleman looked at me, and his eyes were huge. He saw what was going on, and I just yelled for help.”

There is usually a building up period, like your cat stalking analogy.
If your hyper alert to signs, you can often stop it before it gets serious. Of course then your on edge constantly for signs.
If anyone had a concussion and has symptoms months later, you can do visual rehab exercises to help address long run symptoms. This + neck rehab resolved my post concussion symptoms very rapidly. They had persisted for months until that.
Now I’m wondering if continuing to do those exercises can affect the odds of brain lesions. I know my visual tracking is still not 100%. Do things go in both directions: lesions —> vision issues, improving visual tracking —> cause brain to improve lesions through focus to that region. Or would it only be one way? Very interesting to see the retina/optic nerve are from the same tissue as the brain.
What drives folks to force eyes open is fear that aren’t seeing all that they should.
Wonder if it reflects something in the eyes.
Though there was an ML study a while ago about 'gaydar' face recognition - I remember it was ripped apart on HN. From my limited knowledge I don't think there are one or even a few significant gene expressions for homosexuality that we know of so seems probably not true.

It used to be common knowledge that sitting too close to a screen messed up your vision, and somehow we threw that advice out the window.

Not to say everyone with vision problems should jump into dubious “practices” like playing VR games all day long or start taking some drugs, no, but I think a link between vision and mind is an interesting possibility.
Also, evolutionarily, it appears as if eyes were evolved 3 separate times. And: "Eyes and other sensory organs probably evolved before the brain" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_eye (which is outstanding on this topic)
