Neuroscientists like to say that your day-to-day experience is a carefully controlled hallucination.
Lisa Feldman Barrett from „Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain“
In the electrically charged terrain of neuroscience, Eva Meyer-Keller approaches the complex topic of perception from a personal point of view. The playful and interactive lecture performance mixes fact with fiction and scientific research with personal experience to understand how we perceive.
Is perception something that happens to us or something we do? How does the brain know what we are seeing? Is there a difference between perception and experience? What can we learn from our nervous system in times of crisis? A story about an individual journey, about actions, consequences and radical change.
