Must have something to do with the way in which the brain orders information
and stores it as memory. I have seen several similar experiments including
ridiculous scenarios where the viewer sees a video of a group of 6 or so people
throwing a ball around and are asked to count how many times the ball is
passed. During the clip a man in a gorilla suit walks straight thorugh them all
in clear sight. When asked about this detail, only around 10% of viewers picked
up on the gorilla and many believed the video was edited when it was replayed
back to them.
