Christmas Lecture 05: Virtual Reality: Can You Believe What You See?
Listen now
Description

In the last part of Growing Up In The Universe, I take you through virtual reality models in the human mind and in computers. Through them we examine the questions: How do imagination, language and technology help us discern what is real from what is not? And what does the future of the human mind and perception look like?
