As I said, some things we don’t notice. We’re only little brains in a big world. And I just want to try to convince you of this by showing an example. This one – hopefully – will work because we don’t take photographic snapshots of the visual world. We expect it to remain the same.
But in this picture, when I start it, something’s going to change. There’s going to be a flicker, which will trigger a reset in your visual buffer, and then another image, and I want you to stick your hand up when you notice the change. The change will keep repeating.
You’ll have to take my word for it when I say this works very well when you’re sitting in-front of it. But here, I’m not sure. There are a lot of people, it doesn’t take up much room on your retina. This might not work. But still, it’s fun to try.
Okay, hands up when you see what’s changing.
