Change Blindness

Blame it partly on saccades, or rapid eye movements, but you see far less than you think you do. Apart from saccades, you even miss changes in large events. It's called change blindness, and probably not a day goes by that you are not blind to something that happens right in front of your eyes. It can result from saccades or a large scene that changes in front of you as shown in the video below. Your brain makes you think that everything is as it was. Your brain plays tricks like this all the time. Magicians are well aware of the fact.
