Have you, like, had a stroke in the last 12 hours or are you just drunk?
The latter, thankfully. Your concern is appreciated.
At least this one time I wrote something semi-useful. I would genuinely, and soberly, be interested to see such a reconstructed gorilla video, and in particular the difference between a watcher who is instructed to focus on the ball and one who isn't.
Thank goodness! (Party hard!)
And yes, though I suppose that might be influenced by whether there happens to be clips of gorillas in the sampled material.
Also, the example reconstructions seem considerably simpler (in the sense of there being a single, obvious-to-human-eyes focal object) than a basketball clip would be. It makes me curious what the differences would be - whether the 'most similar' clips would be other sports, people standing still, balls moving around the screen...
(by the way, he is referring to this)
No, I know what he's referring to - I even think it's an interesting question - I'm just remarking on the fact that his last few posts have been uncharacteristically incoherent.
