For a brilliant example of the importance of attention in vision you
should have a look at Prof Richard Wiseman's colour changing card trick:

Its a great illustration that just because your rentina "sees"
something doesn't mean you will see it at a "cognitive" level.
BTW who spotted it? :)
There's a bunch of on-going research into visual attention - google
will throw up lots of links (ah, if only google helped me understand
it as well).
