Audio Illusions


In this video, they discuss how your sense of hearing can be confused based on what you are seeing. This video proves that what your senses are telling you is not always true. At one point it shows the tower bouncing and some people hear a thud when it hits the ground even though the video does not have a thud sound. This is just one example of how senses can affect each other.

Self Perception Theory

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!

Do Cuttlefish See What We See?

Cuttlefish are awesome! They can camouflage themselves to blend into their surroundings. Researchers have discovered a way to use the cuttlefish's amazing ability to test their perception! Do cuttlefish see the world the way we do?!

Time Perception

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.
