I cannot remember the name of it, but i certainly remember reading about a scientific study done on this. I think the general idea was that having our phone buzz (for like a text or something) is something that we subconciously hope will happen so any feeling such as a sudden but very slight, spasm in your leg can be unterperated as feeling your phone buzz. Take that with a grain of salt however for it has been a while since i read the paper
