It is a well known fact within pilot circles that the human
brain cannot process data while engaging the use of primary
focus. as soon as a pilot begins to process complicated data his
primary focus switches off leaving his safety detection system
to peripheral focus. This affect is not dissimilar to a very
competent vehicle driver who can travel for many miles, thinking
about a subject and finding himself unable to remember any part
of the preceeding journey. Although he manages to navigate the
roads in apparent safety, he has done so only by processing data
which has entered his brain via his peripheral vision. A simple
test of the hypothesis is to ask any person to focus on your
eyes and then ask the subject a modestly complex question such
as, "What's the square root of 96." The subjects eyes will
immediately break focus with your eyes as their brain attempts
to process the data. I hope this snippet of info will prove of
interest. There are no replies to this message. | Behavior
