Next was an amazing talk by Daniel Simons on inattentional blindness at the Psychonomic Society. Simons brilliantly summarizes the state of the research on this phenomenon, then demonstrates experimentally why it's likely that everyone can randomly fall prey to it (even if it's not a guy in a gorilla suit).

Next was an excellent talk by Andrew Shtulman on why adults are actually more imaginative than young children at the Santa Fe Institute. Through a series of clever experiments, Shtulman shows how and why our preconceptions about childhood creativity are wrong, as well as the difficulty of more generally improving imagination.
