                  Motion Induced Blindness






                  b It works exactly like it says, and is

                  one major reason people in cars can look right at you

                  (when you're on a motorcycle or bicycle)---AND NOT SEE

                  b YOU.b From a former Naval Aviator. This is a great

                  illustration of what we were taught about scanning outside

                  the cockpit when I went through training back in the '50s.

                  We were told to scan the horizon for a short distance, stop

                  momentarily, and repeat the process. I can remember being

                  told why this was the most effective technique to locate
other

                  aircraft. It was emphasized (repeatedly) to NOT fix your
gaze

                  b for more than a couple of seconds on any single object.

                  The instructors, some of whom were WWII veterans with

                  years of experience, instructed us to continually "keep our
eyes

                  moving and our head on a swivel" because this was the best
way

                  to survive, not only in combat, but from peacetime hazards

                  (like a midair collision) as well. We basically had to take
the

                  advice on faith (until we could experience for ourselves)
because

                  the technology to demonstrate it didn't exist at that
time.b
