TEDx Dan Simons Seeing The World As It Isn't
Daniel Simons is head of the Visual Cognition Laboratory at
the University of Illinois. His research explores the ways in
which our beliefs and intuitions about the workings of our
own minds are often mistaken and why that matters. He is
best known for his experiments revealing striking failures of
perception and the limits of visual awareness. His research
is exhibited in science museums worldwide and his writing
has been published in many newspapers and magazines,
including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and
The Chicago Tribune. He recently co-authored the book,
"The Invisible Gorilla, and Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive
Us" (Crown, 2010).
