| This menu-driven program argues that the human visual system is skillful at some things, but that we miss an amazing amount of what is going on right in front of our eyes. Whether spotting attractive people in a crowd, gauging depth and distance, or even predicting where things end up, the eyes are at their most perceptive. But clever experiments conducted at a nightclub by scientists from Sussex University illustrate that when a person’s visual focus reaches its peak, other things within eyesight are missed. Discussion also focuses on the brain’s processing of images, as well as the coordination of our sense of vision with our bodies. A BBCW Production. (30 minutes, color) Can be viewed using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive. |
