During the Brainwave program on March 5, 2016, neuroscientist Scott Weems discusses the Stroop Test with The New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff.
Do we see reality? Our perception of the world is colored by and filtered through our past experiences. The tenth season of Brainwave will help us better understand the limits of our perception, allowing us to change our brains, unshackle ourselves from the past, and unleash creativity, growth, and inspiration.
Brainwave is supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
