The Eureka Moment in National.Geographic.Test.your.Brain.1of3.Pay.Attention.

 

The first eureka moment when Apollo try to focus us on the paper note, the eureka moment came to me when they showed that the background set, the hat that Apollo is wearing and he magically get a new handkerchief.

The second eureka moment is when we see the picture changed we can see the changes that they have made but when there is a black frame between the changes we cannot spot the differences.

The third eureka moment is when the brain is so eager on something, that it cannot detect the changes that happen in the surrounding. In the scene there are only one in three people that can detect that the person that is giving out the form and the one that is giving the pen is actually a different person.  

Next, in game #4, Apollo were able to steal four items from his victim, but I can only detect one item that is stolen, that is the scarf. The eureka is when the victim of Apollo cannot detect when the items were stolen from him. Apollo do this by trying to make the victim focus on other unimportant things and without his notice the item was stolen from him.

The next test involved Patrick who claims that he is a multi-tasker, but after several tests that he takes, it shows that his brain were only average, just like normal human brain.

The next trick Apollo has changed his wallet, money, and watch into liquid. What we didn't notice is that there are people wearing rabbit, gorilla, and a bear costume. This is what the experts call it as inattentional blindness, where it is a failure of noticing something while paying attention to a thing.

Next, in game #8, all of us seems can read the sentence, although the spelling is not correct. This is because the brain only need to look at the first and the last letter of each word, in order to decipher  the words. 

Next, when the Jabbawockeez were doing their act, almost nobody in the audience notice that there is a penguin passing through the stage.

In game #10 it is actually difficult for a normal human to name the font colour, when the text saying different colour.

Lastly, the power of hypnotise, it almost seems like it is fake, but it is actually true, and it can only be done by an expert, such as Dr. Amir Raz.

That is all the eureka moment that I can find in this documentary. Please leave a comment or feedback after you read.
