New Scientist Magazine recently reported on a series of experiments which demonstrate how easy it is for us to miss the obvious. They link to a site where they have stored some of the videos they used to test and demonstrate the principle. Go and check them out - it is amazing how easily we can miss the obvious. They are sourced here.
The principles which undergird these demonstrations are employed by magicians, for example, to create an illusion.
It gives me pause to reflect on our ability to perceive reality when such obvious matters can be overlooked.
