How observant are you?

July 13th 2010 22:40
First watch the video and take the test. It's short, only about a minute and a half. Don't read ahead until you take it.



Ok, did you take it? No? Then stop reading and go take it.


This was part of an 1999 study called The Invisible Gorilla showing just how little people actually observe what is going on around them. It's called inattentional blindness. Scholarpedia describes it as a failure to notice a fully-visible, but unexpected object because attention was engaged on another task, event, or object.

So, now your sure if your shown another video you will notice all the things that are going on. Watch the following video and see if your right.

Cordyceps

Cordyceps sinensis also known as caterpillar fungus.
Cordyceps sinensis also known as caterpillar fungus.


Bet you've never heard of these before. Neither had I until I got a free sample of some cocoa which included these miracle energy boosters called cordyceps. Sounds great doesn't it. I decided to look into exactly what these are. It turns out they are a fungus similar to mushrooms, except these are parasitic to insects. They takeover the bodies of insects and feed off them, of course they eventually kill them
