Elite Athletes See a Different World - A Visual & "Quiet" Analysis

Wow....what a fun, fascinating video this was to put together. Grateful to those that assisted in my understanding, so I wanted to thank and list them to start:

Dr. Joan Vickers (Uni. of Calgary)
Dr. Samuel Vine (Uni. of Exeter)
Dr. Daniel Laby
Dr. Derek Panchuk
Dr. Rob Gray (Arizona State University)
Dr. Gal Ziv (Levinsky-Wingate Academic College)


I had heard little about the QE going into this...Joshua Miller (the man who debunked the Hot Hand Fallacy) mentioned Dr. Joan Vickers. Of course, after speaking with many of these individuals and reading their stories, there is still much to discover in the visual world...so much.

I hope you enjoy the vid, and take what you can from it.
