FUZZY, BUT THE BRAIN CAN STILL FIGURE IT OUT!
Interestingly, at first instance, the whole text with jumbled-up letters seems fuzzy, but it only takes a short while for the brain to figure out the big picture.
Thanks to the innate self-organising & pattern recognition capabilities of our brains. That's how I see it.
For the record, the foregoing text should actually read as follows:
"I couldn't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading:
THE PHENOMENAL POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND
According to a researcher at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.
Amazing, huh?"
Nonetheless, to understand the other perspectives of this phenomenon, please proceed to this link. I should thank Pat Johnson, a blog reader & fellow explorer for the link.
