This is a Nova course about illusions. It explains a little about what's happening in the brain when you think you're seeing something but you're not. The brain fills in what it thinks you're seeing.
I started this at the 8-minute mark. The show is over and the Q&A begins at the 47-minute mark. It's like sitting through a class so try and stay awake. For 39 minutes. 😁
Too long for me. I am also pretty sure that I don't want to know what my brain is doing/not doing.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, I almost promise.
ReplyDeleteThe real illusion here is that I could sit still and watch for 39 minutes instead of working in the garden. But it looks interesting, so maybe I'll give it a try.
ReplyDeleteTime is an illusion; it is always now.
ReplyDeleteSue - Oh come on, give it a try. You can drop out at any time.
ReplyDeleteRiver - Close enough.
Bill - It's interesting. Time will fly.
Stu - I agree. At least now I do. ... And now. ... And now.
Puncturing illusions can be dangerous, as most of our daily lives and routines are fueled by them.
ReplyDeleteCloudia - Sad but true.
