Professor Harvey's show is good brain exercise!  The brain constructs the experience of reality using sensory information from the outside world combined with internal information from memory, fears, desires, and goals. Sometimes the experience of reality is distorted and results in so-called visual and auditory illusions. We will learn how the brain works by exploring the conditions under which certain visual and auditory illusions occur. Be prepared to have your reality distorted!
