This was interesting, and I approve of the idea so I upvoted it, but you didn't do enough of what you set out to do! A sufficiently technical explanation should allow you to program computer vision. Ok, maybe that's overkill, but more detail on the actual algorithms and what information the brain actually notices might make this thing not only interesting but also useful.

I think that if our understanding of how the brain singles out information as worthy of notice was that complete, we'd be a lot better at programming computer vision than we currently are.

Ok, I were unclear. I meant "is able to notice" not "does in fact end up noticing".
