How do your senses dictate your reality? What are your impressions of Dr. Eagleman’s thoughts that reality is more than what we perceive?
Although humans can do a lot of things, when you compare our senses to that of other animals, we seem deficient. Does it really matter that our senses are “less than?”
Should we know more about our reality in terms of our senses? Why or why not?
What would you do with more information about our external world?
Juxtapose this idea to the size of our brain compared to that of our animal counterparts. What does that tell you about our reality?
How can Dr. Eagleman’s research be used to help those with sensory deficits?
Do you suspect that those who have those deficits also have strengths that help them not only to navigate the world but also to have a different or enriched reality than others?
