Change Blindness in Perception

Change blindness occurs when changes happen slowly in our visual field while we are focused on something else, leading us to not notice the change. This phenomenon demonstrates that perceiving change is distinct from the change in perception itself. Change is not solely an external property, but a perceived phenomenon influenced by our brain's interpretation of reality. This well-studied psychological phenomenon highlights that our experience of change is essentially a form of perception, reflecting the brain's interpretation of events.
