We trust our visual systems to provide reliable information about the world around us (“seeing is believing”) and generally believe we are aware of what is going on around us. Despite that trust, there are numerous instances where there is a mismatch between what we perceive and what is out there (e.g., illusions). Some perception researchers and philosophers have gone as far as to argue that we live in a grand illusion. What do they mean? Why would they suggest this? We explore these, and other issues associated with the relationship between our visual system, attention, perception, and conscious awareness.

Indian cuisine is diverse, fresh and flavorful, and not very well understood in the U.S. In this lecture, Nupur will transport you to India with a slideshow featuring pictures and stories that illustrate seven aspects of Indian cooking, for instance, how Indian home cooking is different from Indian restaurant food, and what Indian cooking can bring to your own home kitchen. You will learn how to make a cup of authentic chai and enjoy your chai with a selection of snacks and sweets, just as you would if you were a guest in an Indian home.
