- Dan Simons explores why we see the world as it ISN'T.
Daniel Simons is head of the Visual Cognition Laboratory at the University of Illinois. His research explores the ways in which our beliefs and intuitions about the workings of our own minds are often mistaken and why that matters. He is best known for his experiments revealing striking failures of perception and the limits of visual awareness. His research is exhibited in science museums worldwide and his writing has been published in many newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Chicago Tribune. He recently co-authored the book, "The Invisible Gorilla, and Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us" (Crown, 2010).

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Thank you !
Thanks for the perfect example of hindsight bias.
thanks you were very helpful!
This knowledge is vital, I think, to instilling tolerance, acceptance, empathy and understanding of people, particularly of different worldviews or maybe even different political orientations. Having the sense that people literally SEE the world differently to you because of their underlying beliefs, knowledge and experiences, shaped by their own entire lifetime, and the humility to say that maybe your own view isn't as concrete as you know it to be. It's merely YOUR perception of the world.
A great way to push yourself is to take new perspectives or think about it differently. When we do this, we do not see the world as we normally perceive it but instead more like another's perception. In this way, we see the world more objectively.
This is also the way to get more empathic
@@candytwiggytwist3506 it is!
This is the best illustration of our myopic tendencies. I would like to see the work he does with Chris Chabris.
Nearly, or all of us don’t actually see the world as it really is. The lens is humanity, which is why we all see, and understand this lecture, in nearly the same way. It kinda sounds like we all see things, nearly the same ways, which is useful.
Very good
Sometimes, I wonder what is art, and where are the boundaries?
🧐...k
lovely talk :)
How is 2015
@@flatbreadsub How is 2021
I find it interesting.
I will grant some of the sour voices below that if you think about it, and have the average amount of grey matter upstairs, it is not really that difficult.
YET.... how many times in your life do you not come across this.... and how many times have you not found yourself in an argument where the core-issue is simply that... different perspective on the exact same topic or situation (with a failure of being able to see this from the different perspective)
This is a simple, yet effective message that all managers should know.... YET.... how many managers have you seen in your life who clearly do not know, and understand?
simple, clear, effective.... like!
I was hoping this would be about changing our perceptions, creating new realities.
it is did you understand example
@@bbr1133 I don't know that was two years ago..
@@bbr1133 Consciousness as with Gregg Braden is where I'm looking.
@@greglindstrom2733 he saying when u look at ur thumb, all u perceive are thoughts about the shape and width of ur thumb maybe color,but beyond that if u look internally,that’s not at all what the world or reality is,as we can think anything in our mind by shutting out the external world,we may perceive something because it’s the center of our outside (external focus) so that’s all we see,we have to perceive beyond our perspective
@@bbr1133 too deep 4 me!
And even him is an illusion. I thought he was Daniel Simon, the designer. They even look close.
Please please please add Japanese subtitles to this!
How come I see both when I follow the bee or follow the bright flowers, it's both the same to me. Why??? I don't see what he said people actually see.
You might wanna get an eye test. If you didn't notice the flower getting blurry it may be because you see everything as slightly blurry and need glasses.
Focus on the bright yellow flower? they are all bright yellow flowers lol
i was wondering which flower to look at lol
WOW Amazing I never thought it that way. Just like when I thought this was going to be an amazing video and its not! Now I understand!
You know who I see? Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor
Donald Hoffman already did this TED talk. With a bit more thought. Just a bit.
Mahir, I do believe you're stuck in an illusion just as Dan said :p not everyone has known this. I also feel this pertains to many ideas in quantum physics and to the coming age where science and spirituality will merge. Understanding how all individuals view the world differently will help us understand how the world REALLY works.
GuerillaXV - We never get to "REALLY", we only get to "our best guess at the moment given the information available". The test is pragmatic. What perceptions are sustainable? What perceptions - and the ensuing actions- survive natural selection? Perceptions are subject to Darwinian evolution just as much as species are. It's not about getting it 100% right, it's about getting it good enough not to be eliminated. We never get knowledge that is final, eternal, complete. Even scientific models change and get replaced in paradigm shifts. Everything is provisional. Everything except the eternal LOGOS. Whatever works. Whatever doesn't kill you. Or your descendants. Conquer the challenges to stay alive.
Well, at least you didn't do what a lot of others did. They "extrapolate" from a few illusions, that reality itself is an illusion, instead of just some perceptions of reality.
Who may of you believe that chess pieces are equally dark?
I can not believe it.
i tried it in psychology class when the teacher demonstrated and allowed us to play with the pieces but... damn, it IS of the same brightness.... It's crazy, i saw it first-hand how the color "changed" but i'm still speechless and can't believe it lol.
It was hard to believe but try this: make a circle with your fingers on each hand (or cut out 2 circles in a piece of paper) just big enough to cover a single chess piece. By doing this you've eliminated the influence of the background. Now compare the same upper and lower chess pieces.
As the author of the illusion, I assure you they're the same. take a picture and print them out; you can cut out the pieces and see for yourself.
I saw the yellow flowers as being much more blurry the first time.
I don't believe everyone sees something different, just perceives differently. Hence good 'taste' and bad taste.
Is all of reality an illusion?
Not all
Thumbs up if you think that "Bee" is clearly a fly
My cognitive functions:
Ni and Fi in that order but almost equally high
Si and Ne also very close but a lot lower than the first two
Ti and Fe also a lot lower, close together but in that order.
Te and Se in that order, quite far apart.
I don't know what this would type me as 😭 i'm rloAI
Maybe INTj type 5 or INFJ type 5, but I'm not sure
what does any of this mean
Did anyone see the monkey sprint behind him during the talk?
that's not a bee that's a flower...
Different perception between concept of perspective. -xi
a case of the emperor's clothes...risibly simplistic stuff
nas imagens de xadrez se vc colocar o fundo por cima marcando com marca d'agua vc ira vela ate azul.... isso por causa da marcação afff
alternate realities are only fun when brought on by excessive drugs and/or alcohol...otherwise alternate realities range from bad to very bad.
Why does the nose always gets picked on?
Because the bullies wanted booger king?
He should have just asked a magican
I can see the illusion and through the illusion at the same time...is something wrong with me or something?...lol
He shows a visual trick, then tells you your thoughts are an illusion.
Didn't exactly go through some journey with the audience on how perception has effected our daily life, or its effects on the world.
Weak.
Also, he's telling us that your mom is't paying her bills.
He makes a rude, derogatory comment.
Didn't exactly give helpful feedback.
Weak.

How u look like hitman
Thanks for that, Captain Obvious.
The Fearmoths You made me smile with that comment. Thank you.
this is the problem in marriage 2 people w/ differnt perspectives. I try my hardest to see it from my wives point of view and i think it looks good from the kitchen.
This was not very good. sorry budddy but what was your point? Saying we don't see the world the same is ordinary. Actually its some see it right and the rest wrong or everyone.
the point be very careful next time you become an eye witness for a crime committed that you think you saw everything even if u did
Any intelligent person with a modicom of grey cells knows that we do not see the world as it is. This is basic Kant.
+immaculatezulu but not everyine is blessed with awareness of self! :-)
Unfortunatly not, or not enough intelligent people, this type of thinking has helped me more than deal with the loss of vision in one eye, but allowed me to learn to see the reality of the world.
Flat earth ?
Nice demos, bad conclusions. The debate realism/idealism was nicely resolved by Gibson: Direct realism, aka ecological realism, emphasises that we are not perceivers, we are perceiver-actors. From this pragmatic perspective, of course we see the same "things" (Gibson's "affordances" or perceivable opportunities for action). If we didn't we could never communicate or agree! And survival...and evolution...would not work. Your "argument from illusion" is tried and tested. But it's deeply flawed.
Lame.
This is strictly correct and generally totally wrong. Meaningfully incorrect perceptions of the world are actually the exception to the rule, given all the moments that you have in your lifetime. Even when we see something differently from someone else, increasing things like context and resolution most often allows for remarkably - even shockingly - SIMILAR perceptions of the world between two people. Why did absolutely no one in the auditorium wonder what "bee" meant, or mistake the image for an actual bee, or even mistake that auditorium (for more than two seconds while poking their head in the door) for a different but otherwise very similar auditorium that they were supposed to be in? Things are real and we perceive them, that's why. It's a cute but ultimately foolish approach to the world to assume that what you perceive is just as likely to be real as not real. This is a product from the minds of bored, pampered people, and absolutely no one acts this way with things that matter to them.
does he make a lecture out of an optical illusion picture !! , not impressed
