Discover the Secret
Life of Your Senses
Your senses aren’t just a part of you—they define you. Nothing
that you experience in your life, from the most important to the
most mundane, would be possible without the intricate power of
your senses. But how much about them do you really know?
Discover the secret life of your senses with Understanding the
Secrets of Human Perception, an intriguing 24-lecture course
delivered by award-winning Professor Peter M. Vishton. With
him as your authoritative guide, you’ll consider your senses from
a wide range of perspectives; explore how your brain processes
sensory information; discover how your senses connect you to the
world and to other people; and more. After these unforgettable
lectures, you won’t eat dinner, listen to a conversation, sit in a
chair, or pick up an object in the same way again.
