There was a psychological study done where people were asked to watch a video and tell how many times basketballs were passed by a group of people.
About half of the people watching were so focused on counting the passes that they did not see a “gorilla” walk through the middle of the group and beat his chest.
You can see an example of the video HERE
You and I are wired to filter out a good deal of “reality.”
Your brain takes in 2.3M bits of information each second.
It filters out 99.994% of this information. It Deletes, Distorts, and Generalizes.
