By “lizard brain“, I refer to the part of our brains inherited from lizards and pigeons. Some people have their vision routed through the back of their brains some times. And some from brain damage, all the time.
I sometimes am looking for something and can’t see it, and then it pops into view like magic. It is a very strange thing and can be very dangerous when car drivers get in this state. Flashing or moving object are much easier to see.
