When opponents of a game are equally matched, the team dressed in red is more likely to win, according to a study by British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham. They reached that conclusion by studying the outcomes of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman-wresting, and freestyle-wrestling matches at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. In each event Olympic staff randomly assigned red or blue clothing or body protection to competitors. |
"Where there was a large point difference—presumably because one contestant was far superior to the other—color had no effect on the outcome," Barton said. "Where there was a small point difference, the effect of color was sufficient to tip the balance." The preponderance of red wins was great enough that it could not be attributed to chance, the anthropologists say. Hill and Barton found similar results in a review of the colors worn at the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament. Joanna Setchell, a primate researcher at the University of Cambridge in England, agrees. "As Hill and Barton say, humans redden when we are angry and pale when we're scared. These are very important signals to other individuals," she said. What colors do you wear? |

Science has proven that we are genetically predisposed with a unique talent. We all have the innate ability to easily recognize human faces. There was a time that recognizing another's face could mean LIFE or DEATH. Today that need is not so great, but the ability is still there. There is even a special place in the brain dedicated to facial recognition and facial recognition only. Care to take a test?
There are 12 human faces in this picture. Can you find them all? 4-5 faces = average, 6-8 faces = above average, 9-12 faces = ingenious observation skills

Because most of what people see is often blocked by other objects, the visual information received by the brain is usually incomplete. "People take perception for granted because it seems so instant and automatic to us," says Allison Sekuler, associate professor of psychology at U of T. "What many people don't realize is that the objects we see are not necessarily the same as the information that reaches our eyes, so the brain needs to fill in those gaps of missing information."
