When I noticed it, it was like a light coming on!

  Very good, bright spark. Here’s another one.
  
  And how many changes did you notice in the awareness video?

I see the light… no wait I … oh there it is again!

  @ Deems: Ok fine. That was the easy one. See how you fare with this one. My change blindness is in full effect. I’ve been staring at it for ages – can’t see a frackin’ change at all.

Deems (Reply) on February 24th, 2009

@prawn1 – yeah I can’t see anything either different in the bunny one. And eventually (well in Chrome) it stops animating!

  @ Deems: Ditch that Chrome man. I’m sure Feeyaad has bludgeoned this into you already, but Firefox is indeed the way to go ;)

It’s a little flower in the bottom right quarter of the pic :)
Deems (Reply) on February 24th, 2009

@prawn1 – lol, let’s keep this thread clean of browser-wars :) I only use FF for browser-compat testing.

@Lucy – once you see it, it stands out like a sore thumb!

@Tim: Or a light going off…

@Deems: Didn’t we have this argument already? Let’s hope Joe doesn’t get wind of this thread…

@prawn1: awareness vid ftw…saw the bear right away. Mind you, the vid is biased; the opposing team and the bear are similar colors, so it looks like a member of the opposing team. Now if that bear were bright pink…

  @Fayyaad: The bear vid is the original awareness test. How did you do with the latest Whodunnit vid?
  
  Oh there’s no about that Irish bastard finding this thread. Being the evil curator affords one teh powerful, erm, powers ;)
Deems (Reply) on February 25th, 2009

@fayaad – yeah I tried leaving the topic along, @prawn1 just wouldn’t let up :) Let’s try and keep it on the down-low, away from Joe!

I was quite surprised at the awareness vid above (it’s amazing how you take certain things for granted while you’re watching, the butler’s item in his hand I did notice changed).

  Ok, I’ll admit to a little stirring there. Why the need to keep it away from Joe – Doesn’t that old fossil still use Netscape Navigator?
  
  @Deems – I was completely focused on the detective and missed everything. A somewhat clear case of change blindness.
Fayyaad (Reply) on February 26th, 2009

@prawn1 – I think I did ok there…got the bear, the rolling pin, the portrait and a few others, but I was actually quite surprised to see how many things had changed. Mind you, 21 difference is a lot to take in, especially when you consider that human short term memory with regards to complex scenes is less than a few milliseconds; the brain simply discards anything that it believes is irrelevant to the situation at hand and considers it as noise. The best detectives, I suspect, and people who can tell their brains to stop considering background scenery as noise and analyze minute changes.
