What You Will Learn?
- At every moment, our brain is secretly editing we we see. .
- When we see an object, we assume that it exist..
- When we see the object being far away, we assume that it is far away..
- When the object looks small, we assume that it is small..
- Learn how your perception really works and experience directly how your brain is constantly manipulating what you see..
- What you will learn in this course.
- How your brain puzzles the pieces that your eyes see together.
- Why the colors we see are not the true colors.
- How our brain makes us think that we see in 3D although we definitely don’t.
- Why our eyes cannot see how big something is and how our brain hides this.
- How our brain edits the form of objects in our eyes.
- Conscious and unconscious perception.
- How perception and memory work together to construct your reality.
- Learn what happens in your subconsciousness and catch the brain in the act of editing your perception during this course..
- When I was a psychology student, perception did not seem very interesting to me..
- Now it’s one of my absolute favorite topics..
- The reason is simply that there is so much going on in our perception that we are not aware of and it is so easy to make those things visible..
- Once you know where to look, you can see it everywhere..
- And this makes learning about our perception so interesting and enriching: you will never see the world the same way again..
- In my experience, especially the people who think that they are not interested in psychology become interested very quickly once they learn about perception..
- So enroll now and find out how your perception really works..
- Once you enroll you can start with any lecture and see for yourself what it has in store for you..
- And you can ask me any question you have about human perception..
