Beau Lotto: Experiments in Perception

Warning: You will know less at the end of this program than you do now.

To get the most out of these illusions you’ll need courage, doubt, skepticism, the willingness to interact with others, and most importantly, you’ll need to care. Experience an afternoon filled with experiments in perception, led by neuroscientist and artist Beau Lotto. Go to the place your brain evolved to avoid. Celebrate doubt. Embrace uncertainty. It could be liberating!

This program will have a 12 minute intermission.

A book signing featuring Beau Lotto’s upcoming book, Deviate: The Science of Seeing Differently, will take place after the program.

Brainwave is supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
