Is an apple really red? Why does the grass always seem greener on the other side? This talk dives sharply into such everyday mysteries. It begins by shaking the very foundation of your “common sense” with a live, mind-bending optical illusion—something you shouldn’t be able to see, but somehow can!What if the world you see, the flavors you savor, and the beauty you feel—all of it—were governed by one simple rule created by your brain? A single, astonishingly simple law of comparison that shapes your entire perception of reality.Once you understand this rule, you may finally see why people are drawn to certain things—or why they sometimes misunderstand others. A cutting-edge psychologist, drawing on years of research and countless experiments, unpacks the incredible mechanisms of the brain and perception that will make you exclaim, “Wait, it’s that simple?!”No difficult jargon—just clear, captivating insights that you’ll want to share with everyone. By the end of this video, you may never see the world the same way again. Your view of everyday scenes, your emotional reactions to art, the way you taste food, even how you perceive your own feelings or others’ opinions—all of it could shift dramatically. This is intellectual entertainment that sharpens your ability to see through illusion and appreciate subtle changes in life with new clarity and curiosity. Once you start watching, your curiosity won’t stop! Specializing in cognitive science and psychophysics, his annual Introduction to Psychology is a popular lecture attended by approximately 1,000 students from all disciplines. Based on the content of this lecture, he will use examples of illusions he himself has discovered to explore the laws of perception that lie at the "root of the mind" from a special perspective.
