Your Brain Is Lying to You
What if some of the things you are most certain about... are wrong?
Our brains are incredibly powerful, but they are not perfect.
Every day, they take shortcuts, fill in missing information, and turn assumptions into beliefs without us even noticing.
In this interactive session, Bachir Cherrat will explore how our minds can misread reality and why what we see, remember, and believe is not always as accurate as we think.
Through visual illusions, cognitive biases, and sleight-of-hand examples, participants will experience firsthand how easily perception can be manipulated and how quickly the brain can jump to conclusions.
Together, we'll explore:
- How the brain creates shortcuts to make decisions
- Why we often mistake assumptions for facts
- Common cognitive biases that influence our judgment
- How perception can be distorted without us realizing it
- What these insights can teach us about decision-making, creativity, and everyday life
Expect a thought-provoking and interactive experience that will challenge the way you see the world and yourself.
Because sometimes, the biggest illusion is believing that we see reality exactly as it is.
