Perception and Reality: The Complexity of Senses

This chapter delves into the complexities of human sensory perception, focusing on proprioception and sight, along with the brain’s processing of sensory inputs. It illustrates how perception involves delays and cognitive adjustments, leading to a predictive understanding of reality rather than mere reflection. Additionally, the chapter explores biases in perception, particularly in legal contexts, highlighting how attention shapes judgment during high-profile videos of police encounters.
