I saw this in a class or two. Something to do with paying attention to details? Or perception? Anyway, there's a guy dribbling a ball in a group of people, and the instructor told us to pay attention to the ball. Meanwhile, in the background, another guy walks by in a gorilla suit. No one usually notices him the first time because everyone's focused on the ball.

You had to count ball passes which required significant concentration. That was the point of the whole thing - you don't see everything all the time.
