Originally Published 3 months ago — by Aeon
Dale Purves, a renowned neuroscientist, explores how the brain constructs our perception of reality through associations and experiences, emphasizing that sensory information is inherently inaccurate and that our understanding of the world is shaped by learned patterns rather than direct, objective data. His work spans neural development, perception, and the relationship between brain structure and function, challenging traditional views and highlighting the importance of experience in shaping our mental and perceptual worlds.
