MANDELA GASLIGHTING EFFECT

[Psychotic_Gemini]

The average person sees the object in their field of view. I see the space around the object, and my brain fills in the rest.

Because of this anomaly, I notice things that most people never see. It is not that they can't see it, it is just that the average brain ignores what is outside of the norm.

It does a fair job of showing that the brain is programmed to see only what is relevant. Until you make it relevant.

I totally missed the bear because I was watching for something else... I knew the white shirts were a distraction... oh well LOL

I just recently watched a video... (can't recall what it was) it touched on this subject as you describe, I found that intriguing, but not surprising that the brain ignores a lot. 

Thanks for responding
