Default Change blindness

Was lookin up lyrics and ran into this.

[QUOTE]This demonstration flashes up an image, and then flashes up the same image with one change in it. This cycling of the two images continues indefinitely. Can you see what is different between the two images?

found it in about 30 sec, but thats because i started on that side.

the statement is wrong however, even though i found the change, i do not see it every time. in fact i know where it is, but need to actively find it again.

i think the pace of the change and the white transition sequence resets the image.

Found it in about a minute.

I notice that I find it hard to not look at the spot.

Anyone else also find it weird that it seems like it flashes slower when staring at it, but when its at the edge of your vision it seems like it is flashing faster?

Has anyone read The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, by Oliver Sacks?
