Why Our Eyes Don’t Actually See Everything
Many people believe vision works like a camera.
It doesn’t.
A camera records everything within its frame equally.
Human vision works differently.
Your eyes collect information, but your brain decides what receives attention.
Researchers have demonstrated this repeatedly through experiments involving inattentional blindness.
One famous study asked participants to count basketball passes made by players wearing white shirts.
While focused on counting, many participants completely failed to notice a person dressed in a gorilla suit walking through the scene.
The gorilla was visible.
