Abstract:
We delve into the art of seeing and the critical role of visual perception. Drawing parallels between a photographer’s lens and the brain’s perceptual filters, we explore whether you are truly seeing or just seeing what you expect. Discover how the brain’s predictions generate congruence between perception and reality and gain insights into the profound implications of visual perception in medicine and communication.
