True

The text claims that your brain ignores your nose even though you are looking at it.

Infact verdict: True (86/100).

The claim that the brain ignores the nose even though it is in the field of vision is supported by the concept of perceptual filtering and unconscious selective attention. Multiple sources explain that the brain filters out the nose because it is a constant, unchanging stimulus that does not provide new information, allowing the brain to focus on more important visual stimuli. This process is well-documented in neuroscience and is consistent across the sources reviewed.
