AMNH Presents: The Neuroscience of Illusion

Seeing is believing—or is it? Our brains perceive the world through our senses, and those senses can be fooled, creating a gap between perception and reality. Join master illusionist Apollo Robbins and neuroscientists Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde as we explore the limits of our own visual perception and learn the scientific secrets behind some of magic’s greatest tricks. Special exhibition access is available to ticket holders one hour prior to the program (6–7 pm).
