Watch Uzra Abid Ali’s talk at STEM Quest 3.0, Inside Your Limit: The Neuroscience of Dreams & Illusions
In her insightful presentation, Uzra explains how the brain isn’t a camera capturing reality as it is. It is a fierce prediction machine, constantly filling in gaps based on experiences and expectations. By putting dreams and sensory illusions under the microscope, exploring moments when perception loosens its grip, Uzra showed in her talk how prediction, imagination, perception and consciousness all shape what we believe to be real.
