Why even radiologists can miss a gorilla ... (relevant to Houston Nonfiction)

[Alice Aman]

Hi everyone -

Below is some info passed on by Julie relating to some of what we
talked about last month in our discussion of INCOGNITO by David
Eagleman. Looks fascinating to me. Hope to see you Wednesday evening
to wrap-up the book.

At the last book group we talked about the gorilla study where a
gorilla appeared in a scene of basketball players, and no one noticed.

This study has been repeated and here's the podcast discussing how
radiologists also missed the gorilla in their X-rays - and what this
might mean for medicine.
