Motion induced blindness

Post by smithcorp »

Interesting test here of how concentrating on a point leads to your brain ignoring peripheral items. look at the flashing green central spot and be amazed when the yellow dots disappear. Big issue for pilots.

Nasty.

I remember reading a theory somewhere that if the brain has consistent visual data (i.e. the yellow dots are doing nothing) it just stops processing that bit of the visual field and "clone stamps" from nearby areas to save processing power.

i wonder if it fucks it up as badly as Photoshop does. That must be what those eye worms are you see but can't actually look at.
