Hallucinations & Representationalism
Representationalism is the theory that the world we know and see in our minds is not a direct perception of the external world, and rather a representation, or replica, produced by our minds.
A hallucination is a perception created by the mind without external stimulus. It appears real, yet it is not tangible.

I recommend everyone re-watch this at home where the graphics are better and the lights are on.

 Naive Realism vs. Representationalism
The world cannot be exactly as we perceive it to be because there are multiple illusions such as this one, and actual hallucinations, that disprove its reality.
Voila!

Self Perception Theory

By Anonymous
https://study.com/academy/lesson/self-perception-theory-definition-and-examples.html This link relates to how perception can be pointed inward upon ourselves. Addressing this is the Self Perception theory, which plays the idea that people create their attitudes by observing their own behavior and then making an assumption on what attitudes must have caused it. I found this video to relate well to perception, but also to exemplify just how powerful our brains truly can be. An interesting concept, I thought. I hope you do too!

Time Perception

By Anonymous
This video relates to time perception. Upon research, I found that how we perceive time changes depending on the situation that we are in. One example of this is when frantic music is played in the car, the driver tends to drive at an increased speed as a result, as time has somehow seemed to speed up.  I thought this was a great example of how our senses and perceptions play tricks on ourselves. Whether it be an evolutionary benefit, or merely just our senses acting up, the changing of time is a common occurrence that exemplifies the sometimes unreliability of what we are perceiving.
