Vision, Vol. 3, Pages 61: A Three-Feature Model to Predict Colour Change Blindness Vision doi: 10.3390/vision3040061 Authors: Steven Le Moan Marius Pedersen Change blindness is a striking shortcoming of our visual system which is exploited in the popular `Spot the difference’ game, as it makes us unable to notice large visual changes happening right before our eyes. Change blindness illustrates the fact that we see much less than we think we do. In this paper, we introduce...
