Yes. I found that Wikipedia page as well. This also makes me think about situational awareness. That scene in the diner in the original Bourne Identity movie, where he can't recall who he is, but tells the young woman who is helping him about the people and objects in the environment around him and what their meaning is.

I imagine a professional boxer sees arm and foot movements in a different way than someone who has never seen a boxing match.

Your example of the flight over Stonehenge is funny! Thanks for that.

> Baader–Meinhof

I've been googling on something that should be related to this for a while and can't find the info. My question is this: what is the opposite of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon?

I recall watching a show decades ago that described the discovery of nerve cells in the lymph nodes in the 1970s or 80s. The research overthrew the common understanding that the immune system was autonomous from the rest of us, especially our brains, and kind of just did its thing. This gave some credence to depression as having a role in reducing our immunity to disease. You catch more colds when you're down.

The person interviewing the scientist asked why it had taken centuries for anyone to see these nerves. All of the thousands of med students and researchers and physicians did not see these nerves.

Is there a word or phrase that describes this phenomena? Blind spot comes to mind, but not the physical blind spot in the eye; I'm referring to some kind of blind spot that filters out images in the brain because we 'know' they don't exist, so we don't see them.

Long ago, before the continents drifted apart, this was MiddleEarth.
