A trick of the mind

by Daniel Yon

This work explores neuroscience research suggesting the brain functions like a scientist by using past experiences to predict and construct reality. It examines how these internal models influence perception, social judgements, and individual beliefs.

brief_description
How does your brain decide what it's seeing, from the physical world to other people? For decades, scientists have tried to understand how our brains work, not realising that the answer lies much closer to home than it seems. The latest research in neuroscience and psychology suggests that the brain is doing the same thing that the scientists are: using past experiences to build theories of how the world works, and using these models to predict and make sense of it. Through this process, your brain constructs the reality that you live in. -- publisher's blurb
