The
illusion of
of "seeing"
Neuroscientists weren' t the first to discover that placing your eyes on something is no guarantee of seeing it. Magicians figured this out long
ago, and perfected ways of leveraging this knowledge? By directing your attention, magicians perform sleight of hand in full view. Their actions
should give away the they can rest assured that your brain processes only small bits of the visual scene, not everything that hits your
retinas.
This fact helps to explain the colossal number of traffic accidents in which drivers hit pedestrians in plain view, collide with cars directly in
front of them, and even intersect with trains. In many of these cases, the eyes are in the right place, but the brain isn' t seeing the stimuli.
Vision is more than looking. This also explains why you probably missed the fact that the word "of" is printed twice in the triangle above.
