This is good fun

Hi

Go to the site below and then click on the java applet.

http://viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/grafs/demos/15.html

It is a film of a basketball game..you have to concentrate and count how many times the white team pass the ball.

Then watch it again, but don't concentrate and/or attempt to count the number of passes

See if the second time you see something that you didn't the first time around.

Warning the applet is 6Mb so takes a couple of minutes to load.

We did this with an audience of 300 people and less than 10 saw it the first time around

Hmmm quite cool. I see what the video tries to show. Sometimes if you concentrate on something too hard you cant see whats right in front of you.

By the way I saw it the first go.

How do you post to the stacks or get access...couldn't find it in the FAQs, looked really hard or am I being dumb?

Yea I saw it the first time around also, but it's a cool share. Thanks!
