Ever missed something obvious because you were focused on something else? In this episode of Mind Theory, we explore the concept of inattentional blindness—the psychological phenomenon where we fail to notice things right in front of us. We’ll dive into famous studies like the invisible gorilla experiment and uncover why our attention is more selective than we think. From driving accidents to decision-making blunders, we’ll reveal how much we miss in our daily lives, even when we believe we’re paying attention. Tune in to discover how your brain’s focus might be tricking you!
