Overview
Key facts
One would think that the brain perceives objects in the world exactly as they are. The fact is that our brain uses incoming sensory inputs with prior experiences, emotions and thoughts to make predictions of reality, and construct our perceptions. Usually, what we perceive is modified reality. Occasionally, our perceptions can be seriously wrong. This is particularly true in more complicated situations (in absence of sensory inputs) like thinking about politics, climate change etc. Using examples and quizzes, explore how the brain constructs reality, and unravel some of the mysteries of how this complex organ works in University of Strathclyde's Perceptions of the Brain - Why Our Perception of Reality is Almost Always Wrong.
