Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hızlı Sayar: "A person can become blind to stimuli in the air"
Saying that some things create a mental burden on people, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hızlı Sayar emphasized that no human has unlimited capacity. Sayar said, "There are a lot of alarms ringing in the air, there are warnings, there are a lot of indicators, and if there is something that the person focuses on in the brain and directs his attention selectively, he can become blind to other stimuli."
