So much. Guys, did you know?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Did you know? There's a thing called unconscious selective attention?
And this applies to the fact that you see your
nose all the time, but your brain edits it out.
So your brain filters out your nose to avoid sensory overload,
allowing you to focus on more important visual details. So
your nose is always present. WHOA, You're blown away by this?

(01:01):
I am wow? This is I love it when I
think you might actually have been genuinely blown away. I
really am. Your nose is always present in your field
of vision. Your brain decides it's not as important as
others stimuli. The filtering process helps maintain efficiency in processing
sensory information. So you can still see your nose if
you focused on it, but it's not that important, so
