UNH Manchester has partnered with the SEE Science Center to offer Science on Tap, a series of monthly informal discussions with scientists and experts on interesting science topics.
Science on Tap is part of an international movement to bring scientists and non-scientists together to discuss science topics that are relevant to everyone. Science Cafes and Science Pubs are a popular way to become informed and to to engage with a scientist in an informal setting.
John Sparrow, associate professor of psychology, will be a guest presenter on Tuesday, January 14 for Science on Tap. His topic is "Seeing is believing. Really? Psychobiology & Visual Perception."
Our eyes capture signals from the environment - we see the world around us. How does this sensory information translate into perceptions and inform our understanding of the world? What does vision tell us about how the brain is configured? How does vision guide our interaction with the world? What are the implications of our ability to perceive motion, depth, or visual illusions?
Explore these questions and more with Professor John Sparrow. Sparrow's research explores the meaning of our visual perception of motion and depth and helps us to understand how our brain is configured to see the world.
Science on Tap is held monthly at the Shaskeen Pub at 909 Elm St. Manchester NH. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
