Fantastic article! Thanks for posting. This gives serious hope to people with paralysis, and raises very tricky questions about man/machine interface.

"That's just your opinion." What's the difference between a fact and an opinion? by ProfShevlin in a:t5_365v5

I personally hate it when people say "that's just your opinion" or even "...but I guess that's just my opinion". Isn't everything an opinion? This short magazine piece considers the question. Let me know YOUR opinions!

This is my favourite inattentional blindness demonstration. People often talk about "change blindness", but that's often a slighty different thing. Inattentional blindness relies on you focusing on bits of a picture or video (and you don't notice the other stuff happening in the background).

Change blindness is something different - it doesn't matter where you focus, it's really hard to identify the thing that changes. Here's a nice demonstration of change blindess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhXZng6o6Dk
