Count the passes

[Galleleo]

I noticed it in the first watch, but I thought it was there to distract you from the counting.

[Rhino_haha]

lol, I heard about this test in Psychology, it's to show inattentional blindness i think?

your mind is so concentrated on the white team catching the balls, most people will not notice the gorilla.

[Edify]

I'm going to say 17.

[Kim]

Saw 15

[Displaced]

14, and if you dont spot that ape you are clearly blind

[Aquatiq]

15

[End]

14, the ape almost fooled me, but i blocked him out hardcore!

[ZeUs!!]

I got completely confused by the balls and was just staring blankly at the screen when a gorilla popped up

[geekbot]

I saw the gorilla. The test wasn't about the gorilla was it? You guys are messing with me.

[PaulOakenfold]

You're being facetious right geek?
In case you weren't, and I look like a total ass right now.

Viscog.com's goal:
Videos and demos that reveal the limits of our ability to perceive, remember, and make sense of our visual world.

They were really testing on whether or not you knew there was a gorilla walking through or not. People get so caught up in the 'goal' of the video that they tend to blank everything out.

[geekbot]

I wasn't joking. I thought the gorilla was really obvious.

But I definitely count more passes than most people answered here.

Thought: I used to play a lot of basketball so I bet I didn't need to spend as much brain time on the ball and could see other stuff.

[Exotic]

exactly 15

[Squeezer]

I thought the gorilla was there to confuse you or make you take your eye off of the ball.

same.

[Sleepy Weasel]

The first time I saw that I was in a psych class with like 2000 people. It was on a screen so far away even after they pointed out the gorilla I couldn't see it.

[Emaho]

I counted both, and it was 29 or something.. not sure tho..
