The Real Reason You Walk Into A Room And Forget What You Went In For

Hello Friends, today we are going through this amazing study about this situation, which we go through it in our life but we don't know the reason about that, you can go through it share with your friends and let me know, what's your opinion about it...

If you don’t want to forget why you went in in the first place! 
 It’s one of life’s little mysteries. The very second you walk into a room, you completely forget why the heck you went in there in the first place. Two seconds ago we knew exactly what we were doing. Now? Nada, zip, diddly squat…you get the idea.
For years we’ve been wondering if it’s yet another downright annoying side effect of getting older. Wrinkles, under-eye bags and getting (even more) forgetful. But apparently science says it’s not our fault.
Until recently, the bods in the know believed our memories were similar to a kind of filing system, with thoughts stored neat and tidily in their own little compartments. So when you wanted to recall a certain memory you could scan your ‘files’ and conjure it up. Simples!
Or not. Because new reports suggest that’s actually not true at all and that the brain is way, way more complicated than that. Scrap the filing cabinet ideology, because scientists believe the brain is actually more like a computer on a busy work day with tonnes of tasks, applications and programmes all running at once. And it’s the result of these activities going on at the same time that cause those momentary bouts of forgetfulness as you walk into a different room.
‘If only I could remember why I came in here!’ 

Dubbed ‘The Doorway Effect’, the finding comes on the back of a study from Indiana’s University of Notre Dame in which researchers asked 55 university students to play a computer game in which they moved through a virtual building; collecting and carrying objects from room to room.
Every so often as the participants moved around the space, a picture of an object popped up on the screen. If the object shown was the one they were carrying or had just put down, the participants clicked ‘yes’. Sometimes these pictures appeared after the participant had walked into a room; other times they appeared while the participant was still in the middle of a room.
The experiment was then repeated in real life and the results of both tests matched. Walking through a doorway made the students forget what they were doing, so the researchers concluded that our brains see doorways as a sort of memory cut-off point. 
So next time you walk into the kitchen to get your, er what did I come in here for again?, don’t beat yourself up about it. Science says it’s not your fault. And who are we to argue with science?

31 Super-Cool Photographic Illusions Found On The Web


Photo Illusions are creative ways to confuse your mind and create false perception of things that don't exist. There are tons of funny photo illusions out there ranging from exploiting false perspective (eg. catching sun in hands during sunset, holding the tower of Pisa etc.) to paintings on walls making the impression that there is no wall but rather we see what is inside the building. 

The mentioned paintings are actually called "trompe l'oeil", which comes from French and means "deceive the eye". You might have seen such murals fooling us into seeing 3D scenes which are painted on a regular flat wall. It's funny how we like to be tricked.

So Friends, check out 31 Super-Cool Photographic Illusions Found On The Web - which i found when i am surfing on web...Share with your friends to make them fun also....Have a nice day Every one.

  • Can your brain make sense of what your eyes are seeing?

_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Illusions date back a long time. The ancient Greeks used illusions. Probably not by “moving” cars, though.



_____________________________________________________________________
  •  In 350 BCE, Aristotle said, “Our senses can be trusted, but they can be easily fooled.” The philosopher used a waterfall to prove his point.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Scientists started to seriously study illusions in the 1800s. They were the first to theorize how the eyes can trick the mind.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  The scientists studied perception, among other things.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Our brain makes judgments about size using adjacent objects.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Other scientists during this time used lines to show how our brain perceives, or misperceives, images.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  The brain uses trusted lines to gauge perspective and distance.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  In the late 1800s, Hermann von Helmholtz showed the world that we can look at images and misunderstand what we see.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Hermann von Helmholtz proved that our perception can be manipulated.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  “Filled space” is a term scientists use to hypothesize how our brains estimate perceived information. . .incorrectly.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  The brain is constantly trying to make sense of information.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Sometimes, the brain interprets information incorrectly. As with an illusion.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Case in point: Do you see a drain? Or do you see an eyeball?


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Researchers agree that our visual system cannot possibly process all the information the eyes absorb.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  So the brain is forced to fill the gaps or attempt to interpret what the eyes see.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  What is real? What is not real?


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  You are tricked into thinking you see something.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Your brain “fills the gaps” to make sense of information that does not make sense.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  An illusion is a thing that is, or is likely to be, wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  What is real?

_____________________________________________________________________
  •  What is not real?


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Liu Bolin, a Chinese artist, forces the illusion of being invisible using full-body paint.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  This illusion is not limited to men. Can you find Mandy in this environment?


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Forced perspective is a way to create the illusion of different sizes.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  The illusion of being invisible, thanks to body paint.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Shadows can also cause illusion.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Sometimes, the brain fills the gaps to make meaning of what we see.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  Patterns can create illusion.


_____________________________________________________________________
  •  There are lots of opportunities to trick the brain.
