For those of you in ICM 501 who have come to love the material displayed in the TED talks, check out this video of perception and cognitive thinking through patterns. Michael Shermer provides some good comparisons of how we perceive images and makes you think twice about what you've seen. The Virgin Mary seems to be the common image that people from all over the world search for and see!
How many passes can you count in the basketball passing? Once you see this you'll see how many people in the audience were truly fooled by obvious sights. How do you miss that? It all depends on how you think and how our mind can be fixed on a certain extraordinary image. These images convince us that this is something from out of this world, literally.
So are you a skeptic? To each his own.
