Why is inattentional blindness relevant to WrapSlap reflective armbands? WrapSlap is highly reflective (passes CE EN13356:2001). At night a cyclist, runner or walker might be seen by a motorist because they are wearing the highly visible WrapSlap.
Video with Prof. Susan Greenfield explaining Inattentional Blindness. With Prof. Daniel J Simons, Harvard University.
