Brain Story - The Mind's Eye

Seizoen: 1 - Aflevering: 3 / 3 - Eerst uitgezonden: 01 augustus 2000 - Episode ID: 38902

The illusion of vision. It feels as though we open our eyes and just see what’s out there, but the more we learn about the brain’s visual system, the further it seems this is from the truth. Patients who can’t see movement or recognize faces, reveal the tricks and short cuts the brain uses to construct an illusion of reality. Is the brain making up so much of what we think we’re seeing that vision is really just dreaming with your eyes open?
