Study of human perception in different contexts

Interesting article on human perception in different contexts.

How Believing Can Be Seeing: Context Dictates What We Believe We See

No doubt the paranormal arena has been heavily impacted by the tendencies described.

Link to the actual scientific paper (which I did not read!):

Journal of the International Society of Computational Biology

I found this on Slashdot.

(Hurray, this is my 200th post!)

How strange ... not a single reply until this one ... hmm.

Anyway very interesting stuff indeed (I did start reading the paper but had to go and watch some paint dry instead ) ... and throw in the way the human brain likes to make patterns out of the simplest of arrangements ... et voila, you get a tiny part of the jigsaw puzzle in place ... possibly.

schtick ... just hoping it isn't one of those enormously large 100,000+ piece jigsaw puzzles

ps we know so little that it does become rather scary sometimes ...8)
