The Monkey Business Illusion

How accurate is your perception? Watch this video to get an idea (full screen is recommended).

As amazing as the brain is, it can have pretty glitchy perception.

This experiment conducted by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons of Harvard University shows us that we miss a lot of what goes on around us and we actually don't realize we're missing so much.

Evolution has developed our perception in a way that increases our chance of survival. If the brain decides something is unimportant, it can very easily hide it from us which is precisely what my brain did with this video.
