Лень переводить, но по-моему это охуенно
A recent study of a group of scientists of the socio-neurologist department of the Westchester University suggests that people tend to “populate” empty spaces in the crowds they see in the streets with imaginary figures. These figures fill the gaps in the crowds while the person does not pay attention to that particular area of the crowd. In other words if the crowd is discreet, one still maintain the belief in its integrity, by adding some people to the places where in fact there is nobody.
A person just assumes that there is somebody there. The most peculiar results were achieved when experimental people were asked to described these “filler” figures. Generally characterizing them as typical grey or dull, they nevertheless could describe their appearance with high “detail”.
“While this phenomenon is proved to be true for all members of the experimental group, we still don’t have a decent explanation for it. Currently we are working in two major directions. According to the first, our brain is trying to simplify its job by analyzing the large groups of people as whole, rather than some separate individuals. The second one suggests that it is a way of defense”, - said George Gnawlens, the head of the research group.
In the future, the group of scientists is to find the reasons of this occurrence and also to prove, that while people forget the “filler figures” the next second something catches their attention, those figures will likely to remember them till the end of their lives.
