This Is Weird And Amazing.

Remember those paragraphs where we can read all jumbled up words as long as the first and last letter are correct? This is a different slant on it.

Weird indeed, and rather wonderful how quickly the brain can adapt and follow it.

Strangely I've managed to read it all, with no problems whatsoever, yet I struggle to read text messages!

It is pretty cool - but then, humans have evolved a brain that is a pattern recognition machine, capable of seeing patterns in all sorts of information.

We are adept at filling in the blanks - its what our visual senses do every second, with information from peripheral vision and central field being processed differently.

This leads to good stuff-avoiding predators, hunting down prey, reading sentences like those above - unfortunately it does have a downside - anecdotal evidence, correlation being confused with causation, conspiracy theories and the like.... :)

Interesting article from the Scientific American on it..
