Summary Of Our Experience Of Reality By David Eagleman

As humans, we can perceive less than a ten-trillionth of all waves. “Our experience of reality,” says neuroscientist David Eagleman, “is constrained by our biology.” He wants to change that. His research into our brain processes has led him to create new interfaces to take in previously unseen information about the world around us. As humans, we have to be able to understand, use, and interact with our surroundings the best that we can. We live in a large cosmos and we are a very small part of it, so there is a lot we have yet to discover.

He believes that with the advantage of technology we can expand our umwelt (surroundings) and that it could change the experience of being a human. We already know that technology and our natural biology can work together. We can mention samples of incredible successful ending results, such as artificial hearing and artificial vision. So that maybe, after all, what scientists thought didn’t work in 1969, actually
