            Unfortunately I had this one described to me before actually seeing it. Its great fun watching other people fail to see the Gorilla first time. I am reliably told that this was shown in a lecture to ~150 people; Some thought there were 13 passes, others 14. When asked 'did you see anything unusual?" only 1 person rasied their hand. The crowd was stunned when shown the clip a second time.

            The phenomenon is called Inattentional Blindness. You can see is and many other examples at http://viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/djs_lab/demos.html



            As a straw poll, how many of you did see the Gorilla first time?

                SitFlyer: did you also see how many passes were made?

                            Ahh - that explains it all! So to truly test the theory, you need to ensure the players are not at all attractive to the audience. But, that's probably impossible with someone like Paddy around

                              I counted 14 passes and saw the gorilla (didn't notice it pull a face though).

                              A colleague counted 13 passes, but didn't see the gorilla (so what does he know)
