Urania and Berlin Brains on Tour: Between the Glances - The Hidden Dynamics of Seeing

Description

Seeing is a turbulent process. With every eye movement, our perception is set in motion: attention jumps ahead, visual impressions are amplified, suppressed, and reassembled. That we experience the world as stable is one of the great achievements of the brain. In the immersive space of the planetarium dome, Professor Martin Rolfs and Dr. Nina Hanning make these hidden dynamics of seeing accessible for the first time in a completely new dimension. They invite the audience to an immersive live experiment, where current research is not only shown but experienced together. Martin Rolfs, Professor of General Psychology: Active Perception and Cognition at the Institute of Psychology, Humboldt University of Berlin, Principal Investigator of the Excellence Cluster Science of Intelligence Nina Hanning, Head of the FreeView Working Group at the Institute of Psychology, Humboldt University of Berlin, Alumna of the Excellence Cluster Science of Intelligence Moderation:
