Want to test your visual cognition? Watch the video here: viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/grafs/demos/15.html Then report back how many times the people in the white shirts bounce or pass the ball. I will post what the results mean after we get enough responses. It is a really cool experiment! |
Dammit.... Happened too early. The whole point of the exercise is to discover how many people actually see the gorilla. |
The point is to see how many people trying to concentrate on the bouncing will be able to see the gorilla. The first time I did it, I was so intensely focused on the white shirted people that when someone asked me about the gorilla, I thought they were insane. Until they showed it again. I literally did not see the gorilla in the first go. That was the point of the test, to show the power of suggestion on what we see. |
Next question what is the correct answer for the count? |
he-huh huh... "beaters"... heh-heh |
