Missed It
Posted: Tue 26 July, 2005 Filed under: Health, News 5 Comments »As it turns out, you can miss stuff happening if you blink. According to research, when you blink, certain parts of your brain (primarily the visual system, funnily enough) shut down. That’s why we don’t perceive blinks as mini-periods of darkness. Allegedly.
Interesting stuff, though.
And please note, I have avoided all use of the <blink> tag, and any “humour” therein.
is funny?
Dammit… no blink tags allowed in comments – you spoiled my fun!
Ha
There you go, I’ve now allowed you to have your fun. Just this once, Mind.
look whos been reading the BBC website this morning, i spotted that article too. To be fair I miss stuff even when I dont blink.
but how do they know they have not missed anything when they did this research? Did they have a team of scientists who sicronised themselves so they did not blink at the same time so as to get all the information and credible data?
Yes I know I can’t spell.
