What is the invisible gorilla?

Have you ever been staring right at something, like a missing Lego piece or the ketchup in the fridge, but you literally cannot see it? Get ready for a mind-bending episode that will change how you look at the world! In 1999, psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris set up a famous experiment at Harvard University. They asked students to watch a video of people passing basketballs and carefully count the passes. But halfway through the game, someone in a giant, furry black gorilla suit walked right into the middle of the players, thumped their chest, and walked away. Guess what? Almost half of the viewers completely missed the giant gorilla! How is that even possible?! Join Mira and Finn as they uncover the wild science of "inattentional blindness." You will learn how your brain acts like a busy movie editor, quietly deleting things from your vision so you don't get overwhelmed. Discover why your brain tricks you, how even expert doctors miss crazy details, and why you might not hear your parents when you are playing a tough video game. Tune in to test your own brain!
