See this interesting article<\/a> on how “focussed” humans become when they have a specific task at hand.<\/p>\n

Excerpt:
\nPicture yourself watching a one-minute video of two teams of three players each. One team wears white shirts and the other black shirts, and the members move around one another in a small room tossing two basketballs. Your task is to count the number of passes made by the white team – not easy given the weaving movement of the players. Unexpectedly, after 35 seconds a gorilla enteres the room, walks directly through the farrago of bodies, thumps his chest and, nine seconds later, exits. Would you see the gorilla?<\/p>\n

<\/span>Fifty percent of all observers do not see the gorilla.<\/p>\n
