Hi folks.

Please permit the vague thread title, as the following request will probably sound similar:

I am looking for a video which - I think - was posted in a SWIFT issue about two to three years ago.
The video was about perception and about how much stuff we filter or ignore.

It featured a man - a well-known scientist, black-rimmed glasses, small stature, balding - and a woman. They are sitting at a table, the camera is right in front of them and there is a dark backdrop.

First, the video alternates showing the man and the woman for a couple of minutes while they talk about something.

Then, the man reveals the changes that have been made during the alternating sequences, e.g. he changes his shirt, something is put on the table, etc.

It was awesome and inspiring. This time, I will bookmark the page...



...if someone could point me to it, please?

Thank you.

I think Richard Wiseman had something similar up. Let's check.

But did you notice the gorilla?

Yeah, that thing is here, but one shouldn't mention pongids in the intro to the outro, capish?
