In 1999 cognitive psychologists made a video intended to illustrate how we’re oblivious to things around us when we focus on a single task. In the video, viewer’s were asked to count how many times a ball was passed around between people. What over 50% of the people who watched this video didn’t see was a big gorilla walking directly across the screen. Well, now these same psychologists have released a new invisible gorilla video, and you’ll be oblivious as to what happens in this one too.
If you haven’t seen the original invisible gorilla video, you probably won’t see the gorilla in this new video either. But since I just told you about it…well…chances are you will see the gorilla because you’re looking for it. But there is something else you won’t see. What is it? You’ll have to watch the video below to find out:
