A while back I posted a link to a website article regarding the visual scanning/brain interpretation.
The article was from a pilot trainer and described the phenomenum of interrupted recognition when scanning and how it applied to both pilots and drivers.
He described a driver scanning an area and how the brain did not register everything but did “jump” from one point to another creating a form of blind spot.
That description is a brief précis but shows how the way we look and interpret the images affects us and how we can overcome some of the gaps.
As driving is a hugely more complex and congested world than flying it means the effects can be far more frequently influential.
I will try to find the link.
