Christopher Chabris

Christopher Chabris is an American psychologist known for his work in cognitive psychology, particularly in the areas of attention and perception. He gained wider recognition for co-authoring the book "The Invisible Gorilla," which explores how people often miss obvious events in their environment due to their focus on specific tasks. This concept highlights the limitations of human attention and how we can overlook significant details, even in plain sight. Chabris’s research has implications for understanding everyday decision-making, eyewitness testimony, and how we process information in our increasingly complex world.
