Great example of biology telling a different, more complex, story than self report. This kind of work is at the core of why I got into science. In industry I work to try and make collection of biomarkers easier for a wider range of fields. #neuroskyence neurosciencenews.com/body-trauma-...

Magicians have long exploited quirks in our perception of the world to make us experience the impossible. Now, cognitive psychology is exploring how they do it and revealing fresh insights into how our minds work
