Inattentional blindness occurs when our attention is so focused on one aspect of our environment that we fail to notice other, often significant, stimuli in the same environment. This can happen, for example, when talking on the phone and not noticing someone walking by, or when trying to find a specific item among a cluttered space and missing other items that are right in front of us. Sane hallucinations, psychokinesis, and retinal disparity are not related to this phenomenon.
