Brain Science with Ginger Campbell, MD: Neuroscience for Everyone
Science:Life Sciences
This episode is an encore presentation of an interview with neuroscientists Stephen L. Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde. We talk about their international bestseller "Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals about Our Everyday Deceptions." Macknik and Martinez-Conde are neuroscientists who study vision, but several years ago they had the innovative idea of collaborating with magicians to explore how their use of both visual and cognitive illusions reveals secrets about how our brains work.
This may sound esoteric, but it has practical consequences, especially for making sound decisions in our complex world.
I will be back in 2 weeks with a new interview with Stephen Macknik.
