BYC #47 – Perception

What if I told you that the consensus among experts in the neuroscience field is that we do NOT see the world as it truly is, at all?  The truth is, we don’t!  Every once in a while I come across a subject so amazing that it stuns me, and I just sit there thinking, “This is life changing! Why don’t they cover this in school?” 

This has been one of the best of those subjects, and it has been a total game changer for how I view life on many levels.  Today, we are going to cover a ton related to perception:  The science behind perception; perception vs reality; many of the top studies on perception; and how we can use all of this information to better our lives.
