Joint attention is the shared focus of two or more individuals on the same object. Sensory cues, such as detecting the direction of another person׳s gaze, play a major role in establishing joint attention. It may also involve a kind of mental resonance that might be felt by the people involved.
Through the joint attention test on this website, anyone can participate in testing this possibility.
