On view at the Peabody Museum: Mind/Matter: The Neuroscience of Perception, Attention, and Memory, the museum's first temporary exhibit since its reopening last year. Conceived in collaboration with faculty from Yale's Wu Tsai Institute, the exhibition looks at the history of our understanding of the brain and offers interactive demonstrations of how our brains make sense of the world around us. For example: the mask in the photo above is actually concave from the point of view shown, but our brains adjust to perceive it as convex. |
