How do you know you exist? Seeing, hearing, loving, fearing, dreading, dreaming, imagining. Those are all different types of conscious experience. When I see something or hear something, my supposition is, of course, that this is reality, but it's not reality. All we see and all we hear and all we touch, etc, is always mediated by our senses and through our brains. That is very much different in each individual.

As a runner, I have often imagined what it would be like to have super speed like the Flash or Quicksilver. Unfortunately for my super speed dreams, Kyle Hill has presented the fatal flaws of super speed. But while Hill did consider the problem of perception, he seems to have missed one practical problem with being a super speedster and that is how mentally exhausting (and boring) running a super speed could be. Kant can help explain this problem.

The exploration of color has deep implications for art, physics, and perception that date back centuries, engaging thinkers from Isaac Newton to contemporary scientists.

When we think of 'digital product design', it's tempting to frame it in terms of usability, engagement, or revenue. But those are surface-level outputs. Underneath, design decisions are time-shaping mechanisms.

The most obvious, omnipresent realities are often the hardest to see. For me, autism is that water; the invisible medium through which I experience life.

The apparatus uses optical principles combined with reverse engineering algorithms to disrupt the scanner's perception, intertwining tangible events, recorded fictions, and imagined scenes to blur the line between authenticity and artifice.

'With Every Step' consists of 146 wooden poles arranged to form an anamorphic message, visible only from a specific vantage point, emphasizing spatial engagement.

The ability to change one's perception is a key avenue to innovation. We need to break away from what is known to discover the unknown.

The definition of 'objective' versus 'subjective' can help categorize experiences based on their ability to represent the physical world accurately or inaccurately.

The philosopher Keith Frankish managed to turn a pickle jar into a profound question: What was your visual experience like when you first opened the fridge? Was there a blank in the middle of your visual field?

Our brains are wired to connect dots, even when they don't exist, and we're surprisingly poor at distinguishing between dramatized entertainment and objective reality.

The brain is a prediction machine and our perceptual experiences consist of our prior experiences as well as new data.

The future doesn't need more problem-solvers. It needs more perceptual designers.
