    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!

Human Perception and it's Fascinating Facts

By
The human mind is capable of so many. different things that are turly incredible but most of the these incredbile things we take for granted. This article shows us the simple visual aspects and how our braing forms them within our mind. Throughout the article there are examples for different kinds of laws. These laws include Law of Proximity or Nearness, Law of Similarity, Law of Good Figure or Symmetry, Law of Closure, and Law of Continuity. All of these laws sound complicated and you amy assume that they are complex, however they aren't anywhere near that level. They are rather explnations for the reasoning behind why we perceive what we perceive. https://www.online-therapy.com/blog/human-perception-fascinating-facts/

The Rotating Mask Illusion- Schizophrenia

By Anonymous
A schizophrenic process is more of a bottom up process  than  a top down which is what we do. We are unable to see a hollow face at first because we have never seen that before in our prior experience. This illusion occurs because the brain interprets information based on context and previous experience, or top down processing. In schizophrenic people there is a dysconnectivity between the parietal cortex, where top down occurs, and the lateral occipital cortex, where bottom up occurs, which is why they see the hollow face right away. In healthy people the connectivity in these areas are increased which is why they see a regular rotating face
