Description
Pack a lunch, invite a friend, and join the discussion! July's selected talk is an oldie but a goodie - "Optical illusions show us how we see" by Beau Lotto. Recorded in 2009 this fun and playful talk uses color games that puzzle your vision but also spotlight what we can't see: how your brain works. Join us as we watch the talk and discuss this take on the science of sight, perception, and evolution.
What they are: TED Talks are short, carefully prepared, idea-focused talks that foster learning, inspiration, and wonder.
Why we like 'em: no matter the topic covered, these talks provoke conversation and inspire listeners to continue thinking and learning far after the presenter has finished
How to join: bring your lunch to the library and join in as we watch a highly rated TED Talk and continue the conversation amongst ourselves
What else should I know? Coffee and dessert are provided
