Not an illusion, but fits here!

More "NOT seeing, is not NOT believing"

Especially concerning the "Bigfoot sighting!!" example...

The Gorilla Experiment:

Daily Telegraph Start Page

Link to actual "Gorilla"-video is second on the page, then the first of the "Inattentional Blindness Examples", "opaque gorilla from Simons and Chabris."

Java needed.

I tried it with 5 colleagues. Only ONE was NOT fooled.

Re: Not an illusion, but fits here!

didn't work on me... cuz I was expecting a gorilla. I'll have to spring it on someone unsuspectingly and see if they notice.

Yeah, it doesn't work when you know it's an experiment about perception, or when you hear something about "gorilla" before watching the video...

Re: Not an illusion, but fits here!

It's my fault... I should have elaborated a bit to not spoil it for the readers of this thread. I was too anxious to just post it
