Why Don't You Notice Obvious Mistakes in Movies?

The video explores how our brains often miss small mistakes in movies due to inattentional blindness, a phenomenon where we fail to notice unexpected changes while focusing on something else. This is illustrated by a famous experiment where participants missed a gorilla walking through a scene. The brain prioritizes important information and corrects for continuity errors, as shown in a UC Berkeley study. Understanding this can have implications for real-life situations like eyewitness testimony.
