Brain Understands the
World and Why It
Sometimes Gets It
Wrong</h3>
<p>Everything we think
we understand—our
perceptions, thoughts,
and experiences—are
based on the model of
the world created by
our brains. And
sometimes our brains
can be fooled,
building models based
on things that aren’t
true. Why?</p>
<p><strong>Thursday,
April 15, at 7 p.m.
ET</strong>, on the
next Skeptical
Inquirer Presents live
online event,
groundbreaking
scientist and
technology
entrepreneur Jeff
Hawkins will discuss
his team’s cutting
edge research into the
workings of the human
brain, the
neuroscience behind
false beliefs, and
what we might be able
to do about it.</p>
