Pareidolia

By
Here is a pretty cool video about auditory illusions. The video will play sound clips for about 30 seconds at a time and then ask what you hear. You need to have headphones in though! The auditory illusion is called "pareidolia"which is supposed to be a psychological phenomenon where sound clips that are just random syllables are perceived as words. It's supposed to be common to hear words that are associated with your current mood. I just finished up finals and in the first one I hear "no way"... I hope you enjoy!

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!

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
