ALOUD Science Series: On Seeing and Being - "What Do You See?"
How do our brains construct a world from a confounding and often conflicting mass of visual cues? According to Koch, professor of Cognitive and Behavioral Biology at Caltech, understanding how we see helps us understand how we arrive at a sense of a conscious "self."
This series made possible by a generous contribution from K&L Gates.
