Rachel Cassandra reports from The World’s Biggest Eye Contact Experiment, in Lake Merritt, Oakland. About 200 people showed up for the event. Participants sat down with a stranger, on yoga mats or cushions, and maintained silent eye contact for a minute or more. A psychology researcher weighs in on how awkward and unsettling this can be, although maintains that it can increase a feeling of intimacy. Participants were incredibly moved by the event, sharing that it made them feel connected to a stranger. Some found the experience to be spiritual.
