Daniel Simons (psychologist)

Daniel Simons is a psychologist known for his research on attention and perception. He studies how the human mind processes visual information and often demonstrates how people can overlook obvious changes or distractions—a phenomenon called "change blindness." His work highlights that our perception of the world is limited and can be easily deceived, emphasizing that attention is selective and doesn't process everything at once. Simons' experiments help us understand cognitive processes and the factors that influence awareness and focus in everyday life.
