		<description><![CDATA[Somehow watching the anamorphic art from your recent spike activity post reminded me of this post. You could think of the shift in attention (in this post) and the hearing of the name (in the comment) as similar to the little lens near the sculptures that brings all the scattered pieces together. More broadly, anamorphic art may be a nice metaphor for the brain/mind&#039;s activity in general. Except that there are many viewpoints where the pieces come together &#039;sensibly&#039;. And there are viewpoints where the pieces come together sensibly for some, but the majority rejects these viewpoints.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although the theory of retrospective editing is validated in the study above, the actual extent of &quot;filtering&quot; and more importantly post-event attraction/attention has yet to be understood. 

..I wonder if the results may differ should they include ambidextrous participants in the same study in an isolated category to see if there were any differences observed in the field of perception in &#039;active&#039; conclusion.

I cannot say for sure that being ambidextrous has lend a hand in how I tend to see both images at once in an Optical Illusion Test - an experience I only realised later in life has rarely to never happened to anyone I&#039;ve come across. People I&#039;ve met usually seem to only see one image at a time and many have told me they cannot fathom seeing both images at once - their focus on the negative-space versus positive-space seems to take precedance in leading their perception of the implied images viewed. I don&#039;t know if Í should attribute my two-at-once experience to being  ambidextrous but it would be interesting if they included a separate group of participants who were ambi-dex when conducting the study again, as well as persons with different spectrums of synesthesia!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[..should the tests be carried out with a set of participants who were ambidextrous, might the results differ? 

In tests involving Optical Ilusions, I&#039;ve always seen bot, at once! A simple experience that most of everybody I know do not seem to quite experience - for them, &#039;tis always one-at-a-time and cannot fathom &quot;seeing&quot; both at the same time. I am uncertain if I should attribute this to being ambidextrous, but I am curious if the study might try to include a second category of participants to evaluate if this could lead to further theories, although the point already made in authenticating the proces of retrospective editing in this study. 

Who knows where this&#039;ll go if &#039;twere also conducted with persons with synesthesia.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is fascinating!

Sometimes, when I&#039;m in a crowded, noisy place, I&#039;ll overhear my name in another conversation - one I&#039;m not listening to. Even when my name&#039;s spoken at the end, I can recall the entire sentence as if I *had* been listening. This has happened often enough that I&#039;ve noticed this effect, and it does feel very much like my awareness has been altered after the fact. This study seems to confirm my subjective experience.]]></description>
