Beau Lotto: Optical illusions show how we see.

The theme of the presentation is to discuss how the brain works in accordance to what it deems important. Allusions are proof of how our brains sees what it decides is important, and also uses old information to solve issues or puzzles, or even labeling something, examples of such include, incomplete sentences or even people. Thus, we are in a sense tricked everyday by our brain. Racism is a prime example in real life. Our brain grasps that if brought up in a racist society it will inadvertently label such people almost immediately in the future that they are 'bad'. As such it is the generalization and simple old information our brain relays to us to think like so. Spelling errors are sometimes over looked because our brain has been trained to fill in gaps, or even read words, that if technically looked at, make no sense. The brain hasn't evolved but instead has learned to adapt, in a way that it decides what is important and easy for us to understand, sometimes not for the better. But, this is what makes everyday tasks easier for everyone. Instead of constantly needing to learn everything that we come across, our brains call upon old information to fill in gaps when encountering something new. So in short, our brains are a complex organ, it is important and extremely helpful and thats why people of today are as so.
