Biology of Perception

The lecture from Dr. Gilligan was incredibly informative. The most interesting this was the inclusion of the absolute threshold. The values were so much smaller than I would have guessed.

The information covered was very helpful in understanding how we physically perceive something, but the average person doesn't need to know very much of this. Anyone going into the field of science though, but to the average person, none of this is very useful.

The test was interesting. The only question I got wrong was the circle spinning around the cross. I was focusing on the cross, not the circle. Over-all the presentation was very helpful to the understanding of perception and I wish I had it last year. Outside of ToK though, I can't see much of the information being useful.
