Natural Sciences 191CNS55 - FYS-Your Brain is Lying to You

Over 200,000 years of evolution has shaped your brain into a well-oiled perceptual machine, allowing you to efficiently perceive the word around you. These eons of selective pressure have modified you perception into something that is far removed from true reality. In this class we will use methods of scientific inquiry to ask how these perceptual modifications work, probing questions about how your biology determines your reality.

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
