Why Can't You See Your Own Nose? 👃🧠 | The Brain's Hidden Filter
Your nose is always inside your field of vision… so why don't you normally see it? 👃🧠
The surprising answer is that your brain constantly filters predictable sensory information.
Your eyes can detect your nose, but because it remains stable and predictable, your brain can reduce its conscious importance while directing attention toward things that move or change.
That's why simply thinking about your nose can suddenly make you notice it again.
In this Body Spectra 3D neuroscience animation, we visualize the eyes, optic nerves, visual cortex, and sensory filtering that helps explain this strange feature of human perception.
Discover fascinating neuroscience, anatomy, psychology, biology, and hidden mechanisms of the human body through cinematic 3D scientific visualization.
