If a gorilla walked out into the middle of a basketball pitch, you'd notice it. Wouldn't you? If a serious violent crime took place just next to you, you'd remember it, right? The Invisible Gorilla is a fascinating look at the unbelievable, yet routine tricks that your brain plays on you.
Klappentext zu „The Invisible Gorilla “
Watching a film of a basketball game, volunteers were asked to count the number of passes made. Amazingly, almost half of them failed to see a woman dressed in a gorilla suit who walked slowly to the centre of the screen, beat her chest, and walked off again. This book takes a fascinating look at the routine tricks our brains can play on us, the false impressions that can profoundly influence our lives and gives practical advice on how to minimize their negative impact.
