Game Game: An Attention Test

[Веретенников Сергей]

You are invited to play a little game. At the same time, you will gain extremely important experience.

First, simply count how many times the players in white pass the ball to one another. Just count. You can write the result in the comments. You can also write what unusual thing you saw in this video (not directly), as well as your insight regarding what you saw.

It is better not to mention additional details from the video, so that others can play too.​

Watch the video to the end and learn more about yourself.

This simple video also explains why people fail to see everything that is happening—and what needs to be done to start seeing everything, including the aura.

I counted 10 and, of course, didn’t notice xxx. I had actually seen a similar video before. Yes, it’s amazing how selective our perception is. In a normal state, attention really can be focused on only one object at a time. But if you defocus your attention while continuing to perceive information, perhaps it will be possible to see everything simultaneously, much like defocusing your eyesight lets you see a wider range.

After watching the video, I feel as if I missed a train. I don’t know why. (Of course, I didn’t notice the seventh participant.)

When I watched the video for the first time, I missed the count because of ... let’s call it inattention. I had to rewatch the video several times to concentrate on the ball, and in the end I managed to count 13 passes and simultaneously ...

Spoiler: Информация

Only about 10% see something unusual in this video. The remaining 90% do not.
And that is the worldwide statistic. This video is very often shown in psychology, business, and self-development groups...
And this statistic is staggering.
Primarily because of the realization: How could I not have seen it! It was so obviously visible.

13 passes. I noticed the unusual thing when I tried to figure out how many players there were in total. I was very surprised by what I saw. At home, I often can’t find the thing I need, even when it’s right in front of me.

Hmm... An extremely interesting experiment! I counted 13 passes. But the interesting thing is that I consciously filtered out everything except the relevant players, even though I had a feeling that something was wrong... However, my brain was so busy counting that it didn’t have time to analyze anything else

Very interesting. It feels as if, like at the end of a dream, I’m missing the dream and as though I’ve already seen it, although of course I missed it. I counted 9 passes..)

If you’re warned in advance that the video is unusual, more people may notice something in it ......., but if you simply let them watch it without even hinting that there’s a nuance in the video, then probably 99% won’t see ........

I counted 13 passes, and I saw that too. Honestly! Although I can’t see the aura.

In general, while watching certain shows and films (that is, ones the family watches, and I watch them with them, so I’m not directly interested in them), I became interested in looking at what’s happening in the background, at actions unrelated to the main characters in a particular scene. I should go outside with that mindset.

I counted 13 passes and noticed ..., which was making it difficult for me to keep count by blocking the players in white uniforms. I was indignant inwardly and continued counting.
