We already know that much, about the byakugan being granted the 360 field of vision, penetrative vision and view of the chakra spectrum and so on. But, this is about its usage allows the user to sense any attack that enters their field of vision of depending on how far they can see.

As according to my knowledge extrasensory perception; allows the user to detect and predict the movements of anything around them. Which we virtually see both in the anime and the manga as well. Literally seeing that with the byakugan active, the user can accurately know the direction and movement of any attacks in their field of vision (depending on how far their byakugan can reach.) the only drawback being to that is much like the Sharingan, the user needs to be fast enough to react to it. So in a manner, the user's of the byakugan are granted like a "sixth sense". The byakugan's sensory perception is consistently explained throughout the series. A prime example being Hanabi vs Boruto scene, Hanabi didn't even need to move her head to acknowledge Boruto's attack and just focused on nimble movements. Which sort of explains, the quota always spoke of in the series "the byakugan can see through any obstacle".
