    My apologies I couldn't figure out how to make a new post instead of commenting on this one. So I am adding my post as a comment to this post.

    My presentation was on perception and consciousness. It was based off of a podcast created by Stanford Professor Robert Harrison in April of 2011. http://french-italian.stanford.edu/opinions/ ( Stuart Edelstein on the Human Brain). At the core of the presentation was the idea of the hard problem of consciousness and the easy problem of consciousness. In the pdf is an over view of the theories of the hard problem of consciousness, then the presentation goes into what it would mean to be conscious if we didn't have to deal with the hard problem at all.

    Assuming there was no hard problem of consciousness and that we only had to deal with the easy problem of consciousness the question then becomes, "if we know how our brain works on a functional level does that change the way in which we would think about thinking?" Then there is an explanation on how we may try to understand the functional way our brain works.

    Below is a link to the presentation as a whole.

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.
