    This is to show visual selective attention. Your brain gets confused because of the people in the white shirts. When you focus on the black shirts, you don’t realise the woman walking by. It’s an experiment made my a scientifically inclined person. They didn’t do it because they had too much time on their hands, they did it to show the selective attention made by the eyes.
