In this episode, Dr. Nader sits down with Professor Donald Hoffman, to discuss the long-held belief that evolution shapes our sensory systems to keep us alive. It has been assumed that our senses were shaped to show us truths about our environment that were necessary for our survival. But the question arose, can we truly perceive the truth through our sensory systems? Professor Donald Hoffman, is a Professor of Cognitive Science, at the University of California, Irvine, and author of “Visual Intelligence: How We Create What We See”. He also co authored “Observer Mechanics: A Formal Theory of Perception”. Dr. Hoffman’s research interests and theories are in the areas of Vision, Cognitive Science, Consciousness, and Evolutionary Models of Perception. He’s received the Troland Research Prize of the US National Academy of Sciences and the Early Career Award of the American Psychological Association.
