Perception and the Brain

Taught by Marueen Balaam

Our ability to perceive is created by our senses and our brain. It has come to the attention of those doing research on the brains activity that our brain may be influencing our perception more than we like to think. We use our perception to navigate the world and to make daily decisions. Could it be that the brain decides for us?

We will discover the meaning of perception in the realms of psychology and neurology. We will learn how the brain makes sense of things and forms hypotheses and how that information can be of help or not. We will understand how our brains are a work in progress.
