The Brain and Behavior

My favorite activities from Serendip was definatly the blind spot ones. When I did those I learned that we have a much bigger blind spot then I ever thought we did. I mean I knew we had blind spots, after all that was a big thing is drivers ed. But doing those activities it really showed how much of a blind spot we have.

Nothing other then how big our blind spot is really surprised me. Those were the only ones that I really truely understood. I didn't really get the other ones. Although there was one about which color is square A and was it the same as square B. Those ones kinda made me think alittle bit. Cause I thought they were different until I went and moved one of them and they were both the same.

I don't really know how I can apply any thing about the blind spot or colored squares to my daily life. But you never know, things always change and they might help at some point.

I think that both of them really could change the way we look at the world. Cause with the blind spot you are always losing things in that spot. But with the squares that could really change our world, because you think two things are different colors but then you put them together and they are really the same.

I'm pretty sure I will look at the brain differently now. I mean it can always play tricks on you. You might never really know everything that is going on around you, because you might never be seeing everything.

  1. I completly agree with you when you say that these things could change the way that you look at the world. Because i think allot of things can. Not necesarally these activities, because personally, i don't thinkg they really made any sense. Also, when you said that you enjoyed these? Or some of them? Are you serious?! They were soooooo boring! Lol.
