Description
|
|
|
|
In this revealing romp through the mysteries of human perception, psychologist Lawrence Rosenblum explores the astonishing abilities of the five senses—feats of which most of us are remarkably unaware. Rosenblum explains how our brains use the subtlest information to perceive the world, integrating data from all five senses and compensating for any missing information. Rosenblum takes us from baseball fields where blind players swing at beeping balls to a pitch-black restaurant where diners experience taste without sight. He visits a supermodel to discuss why beautiful faces are irresistible and has an Oscar-winning animator explain how the brain's ability to recognize faces makes his job so difficult.
