Pmouse eyeball poked out4/24/2023 ![]() Think of it like this: when you carve a pumpkin, mirror neurons fire off, but they also fire when you see someone else carve a pumpkin. ![]() These neurons help our minds develop as children, but it’s also what makes us wince when we see anything that looks remotely painful. Why do our bodies react so viscerally to seeing someone get their eyes poked out? You can blame that cold sweat on mirror neurons. We’ve all got something in our eyes at one point, but our knee-jerk squeamishness to abject eyeball horror is triggered by our deeply ingrained ommetaphobia, the fear of anything involving eyes. It’s nothing to – ahem – sneeze at, for sure, but it doesn’t hold a candle to having something get in your eye, an image horror movies love to indulge in.Įven when it is as relatively harmless as sand, watching something violent happen to a character’s eye in a film makes our bodies cringe in a uniquely somatic way.
