Description: At this educational neuroscience event, Dr. Sherryse Corrow’s students will present perceptual illusions, and what these illusions teach us about how the brain works. At a variety of demo stations, students will be presented with a compelling illusion, perceptual demonstration, or a game to play along with information about how the illusion works and why.

Parking information: Parking is free. Please park in the West Lot of campus (the lot closest to the main entrance to campus) and enter through the doors of the community life center (the closest building to the West Lot). From there, signs will direct you to “The Underground.”
