However a recent paper by Jordan Suchow and George Alvarez (Suchow and Alvarez, Motion Silences Awareness of Visual Change, Current Biology (2011), doi:10.1016/j.cub.2010.12.019) of Harvard University, published in January 2011, shows something quite extraordinary.
They created a number of videos in which an array of dots change their appearance. In one video, the dots keep changing their colour, in another, they keep changing their shape.

By the 4:30 Page 1 meeting, picture editors had examined more than 900 images of devastation to find the one that would stretch across five columns and nearly half the depth of Tuesday's front page. Into a million homes came a grieving mother crouched beside the lifeless bodies of tiny children [photo], and perhaps more horrifying, three pairs of feet extending from beneath a white sheet in an upper corner, suggesting the presence beyond the frame of row upon awful row of the tsunami's pitiless toll.

BBC Nature - How whales and dolphins focus sound beams on prey. 22 March 2012Last updated at 07:47 By Victoria Gill Science reporter, BBC Nature The team worked with a trained false killer whale named Kina Many marine mammals live in a world shaped by sound - producing clicks to map their underwater environment out of echoes.
Researchers in Hawaii have now discovered just how finely tuned this "echolocation" can be. The scientists found that toothed whales can focus their beam of sound - pinpointing a target with a narrow stream of clicks to study it in detail. Their findings are published in the Journal of Experimental Biology. Laura Kloepper, a PhD student at the University Hawaii, led the study. Recalibrate Your Reality.
