We will learn tricks of the brain and optical illusions, such as how the brain processes geons, the Gestalt theory of perception and artwork, and how your brain uses heuristics to interpret things in the visual field. No previous knowledge is required, although students will be better prepared after taking Parts of the Brain: How We Think. This is Part 1 of a 3 Part series on optical illusions and visual processing in the occipital cortex. We learn Biology and Neuroscience and have a great time in the process!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! I am a former assistant professor of psychophysiology and published scientist with a PhD in Biomedical and Behavioral Neuroscience. I have taught for 9 semesters at the college level, with courses ranging from statistics to biomedical literature analysis. With scientific illiteracy at astounding levels in this country, it is up to the educators to ensure the next generation can gain critical thinking skills in the field.
When I'm not doing science, I love playing guitar, video games, and relaxing with my puppy Bean!Reviews
