So how does the the human brain ignore the second the?
In: Biology
What we ‘see’ isn’t what’s actually there. It’s the same as how we have a big blind spot in the center of our field of vision and our brain fills in the details.
Our eyes detect light and send signals to our brain. Our brain interprets those signals and builds a model of the world that isn’t necessarily accurate, but is usually good enough for us to function.
Things like this show that the model built isn’t necessarily accurate, but that details will be filled in by our brain based on surrounding detail.
Another one is that I can type words incorrectly and as long as the first and last letters are present a quick raed show that your brain will fill in the detials and ‘show’ you the correct word.
